Give Thanks Lyrics - Singles - Kero One

(Verse 1, Kero One) 

Its time to pump up the volume all you in the area 

from suburbs, slums and ghettos through America 

Im 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 

theres 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 Gods 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 its strange how Ive 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 

(Chorus) 

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

as we rejoice, for every day that were fed 

we giving praise yall, 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 were fed 

we givin praise yall to the creator above 

For givin us this chance to expand the love 

(Verse 2, Niamaj) 

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 youre broke with no job or financially set lets 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 Ones 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 

(Verse 3, Kero One and Niamaj) 

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 lifes lessons 

with every negative theres a positive message 

so step in these shoes for just a few 

they may fit snug, if so were 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 Im trying to keep it moving cause theres a reason were free 

I said we gotta keep it moving theres a reason were 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.
