Kero One - Give Thanks lyrics

rate me

It's time to pump up the volume all you in the area

From suburbs, slums and ghettos through America

I'm here to break the barriers unify you and I

Cause under one God we all are humankind

No matter the race, creed, color, or state of mind

There's much to celebrate in this space and time

So I... deliver these rhymes to uplift the mind

Spirit and soul with every rhyme I unfold

And hold my head low and stay humble

Cause who knows what piece tomorrow will bring to the puzzle

I huddle my hands together and give praise

No matter the weather God's sun provides the rays

And lights the way through this desolate maze

Where the obstacles of life can leave your confidence dazed

But I maintain through strife struggle and strain

Gain character from persevering through pain

And it's strange how I've complained when others have had it worse

Lacking in understanding of the next mans hurt

But now I comprehend as I write this verse

So today I give thanks, "today ya giving what? "

So today I give praise, "Kero One say it again"

So today we rejoice as we spit these words

Saying... thanks, for the roof over our heads

As we rejoice, for every day that we're fed

We giving praise ya'll, to the creator above

For giving us hope in life and promoting the love

We give thanks, for the roof over our heads

As we rejoice, for every day that we're fed

We givin praise ya'll to the creator above

For givin us this chance to expand the love

The earth rapidly rotates at a miraculous rate

And we still seek to find the definition of appreciate

The gift of life is a gift in itself see

And this goes out to middle class broke and wealthy

I like to recognize all the things in my lifetime

Stayin alive or the ability to write rhymes

Uplift the mind through these treacherous times

I give props to all mighty cause the sun still shines

I walk the earth mad cool with a righteous attitude

Manifest my humbleness and express my gratitude

Realize the worth and quality of things that I got

Cause all things that you have kid you might have not

As I drop you say "word" but check the words that I say

Just like the Lord giveth he can taketh away

And today I take time to realize the strife

Of many people with they conflicts and difficult lives

Open your ears wide, I hope the message ya get

And if you're broke with no job or financially set let's correct

The issues at hand the moves we faking

And start demonstrating the love for appreciation

Like Mobb Deep we got ya stuck off the realness

And motivate so ya next to kin will feel this

We on drive ya best peel quick

Niamaj and Kero One's bout to tell ya what the deal is

Not to preach or bore ya with flows

Celebration is the key so the chorus it goes...

We give thanks for the roof over our heads

And rejoice, for every day that we're fed

We give praise for good peoples around us

Uplifting the spirit let progression surround us

And count the blessings found in life's lessons

With every negative there's a positive message

So step in these shoes for just a few

They may fit snug, if so we're talking to you

Our story unfolds in a town with a beautiful view

Where money flows through pockets but people still feud

And closer to the ground, bums hunger for food

Embracing nickels of hope or pennies just for booze

While we view, the television we see

People at war with each other, themselves, and we

Dying by the thousands, how thankful we be

So I'm trying to keep it moving "cause there's a reason we're free"

I said we gotta keep it moving "there's a reason we're free"

Yo we trying to make moves "one time for ya mind"

I said we gotta keep it moving

So we find humility... and give thanks to thee.
