Giving Thanks

Giving Thanks

Just thankful to be alive, and know the things that I know
Thankful for the sun that persuades the plants to grow from the seeds we sow
Thankful for the black women. Thankful for the black man, I’m here now

Thankful for the word, sound, and power
Vibrations to destinations release revelations hour to hour

Thankful for the spiritual guidance
And even when I wanna be loud, I move in silence

So  thanks for the self-control, because even my discipline gets disciplined 
Thanks 4 the people that came into my life & thanks for the people that walked out

I either learned a lesson or gained a blessing

And even both in some cases
I either got right or got left, even both in some cases
I either did the crime or did the time, or even both in some cases

I either did the helping or the neglecting, and eventually along my ways I met karma, underrated but yet never a *****, karma is the truth
Yes she is – You Do Dirt You Get Dirt (Simple and Plain)
Life is an ongoing cycle, give thanks to the circle, from the color red to the color purple, from the speedy rabbit to the slowly turtle, from the smallest leap to the highest hurdle, from the non-producing to the finest fertile
From the Alpha to the Omega

4 Words- One Love Give Thanks
