Never happy but always thankful, never satisfied
But always grateful. I put my past aside and focus
On the future, but it's difficult when cats who used
To like you start to hate you
And I owe this to my mom for puttin up with me
All throughout these years when ain't nobody wanna fuck with me

They used to say I lacked the confidence to set the path
But I got a big heart I just let it pass
Often I sit and wonder bout what I'll be remembered as
To these kids I wanna be that hero that I never had
But then y'all wanna shape me up into a villain
And grow off of my downfall and break apart all my feelings

But I ain't trippin cause I'm learning to accept the facts
Yeah, people come and people go but friends will never last
Yeah, and I was wrong in the past
Then I realized that all could be gone
In a flash, so I'm thankful

I'm thankful for the haters
Cause at the end of the day
It's all just motivation
And I'm thankful for my family cause all I really want
Is for someone to say that they're proud of me

And I'm thankful for my stuggles, cause if
Everything was easy I wouldn't know how to hustle
And most of all I'm thankful for my life, lord
Forgive me for my sins, you know I'm trying to do right, look
Now all my ex's send me texts sayin that they miss my voice
And how they hate thinkin bout me but they don't have a choice
Cause all your friends talkin about me so you can't ignore me
I put my life into this shit, you should be happy for me

Blood, sweat, and tears over the years
Now that I'm gettin what I deserve. Y'all niggas, damn you
Got some nerve to tell me that I've changed and you think
The fame is getting to me. But if that's what you think
Of me then you never knew me

Yeah, cause I just want to make a difference
And I wanna thank the fans and everybody out there listening
Cause if I died before I made a change, just know I tried to
But most of all, remember that I'm just like you
I just want to make a difference and I wanna thank the fans
And everybody out there listening
Cause if I died before I made a change, just know I tried to
But most of all, remember that I'm just like you

I'm thankful for the haters, cause at the end of the day
It's all just motivation. And I'm thankful for my family
Cause all I really want is someone to say that they proud of me
And I'm thankful for my stuggles, cause if everything was easy
I wouldn't know how to hustle
And most of all I'm thankful for my life, lord
Forgive me for my sins, you know I'm trying to do right, look
