Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, it started out in a spare bedroom
Two turntables, uh, and a microphone
I was flipping over 33's
Workin' on rhymes and melodies
Searchin' for some more of you
And a little less of me
[Verse 2]
It's never been my dream
To see my face in magazines
It's always been about the music
Hopin' God would use it
To set some people free
[Verse 3]
But I can say without a doubt
I never had it figured out
Lord, You've opened every door
I've stepped through, yeah
And I tried to keep my head about me
I'm thankful for the friends around me
I'm thankful for You, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I'm thankful for You now
[Verse 4]
(Thankful, thankful, thankful for You)
(Thankful, thankful)
[Verse 5]
I've been on this road
And you come to my shows
Sometimes just a few of y'all
Other times in droves
But you've been right there to rock with us
We come together, we lift Him up
Seein' you there inspires me
Puts a fire in me
[Verse 6]
It's never been my dream
To read my name in magazines
It's always been about the music
Praying' God would use it
To set some people free
[Verse 7]
But I can say without a doubt
I never had it figured out
Lord, You've opened every door
I've stepped through, yeah
And I tried to keep my head about me
So thankful for the friends around me
I'm thankful for You, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I'm thankful for You, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I'm thankful for You
[Verse 8]
It's such a free feelin'
That you got me feelin'
We're all good, all good, all good
I love this free feelin'
That you got me feelin'
We're all good, all good, all good
Said I love that free feelin'
That you got me feelin'
We're all good, all good, all good
[Verse 9]
Yeah, yeah
Break it down now
[Verse 10]
Yeah, they say you become who you hang out with
Well, I can tell you for sure
You made me a better man
[Verse 11]
And I can say without a doubt
I never had it figured out
Lord, You've opened every door
I've stepped through, yeah
And I tried to keep my head about me
So thankful for the friends around me
I'm thankful for You, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I'm thankful for You, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I'm thankful for You
[Verse 12]
Thankful for You
Thankful for You
That's it
