Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile, smile
[Verse 2]
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile, smile
[Verse 3]
Every day
Groundhog day
Going through motions felt so fake
Not myself
Not my best
Felt like I
Failed the test
[Verse 4]
But every tear has been a lesson
Rejection can be God's protection
Long hard road to get that redemption
But no shortcuts to a blessin'
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile, smile
[Verse 6]
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile, smile
[Verse 7]
2.0
Remodeled
Used to be dull, now I sparkle
Had a piece
Of humble pie
That ego check
Saved my life
[Verse 8]
Now I got a smile like Lionel Richie
Big and bright, need shades just to see me
Tryna stay alive just like I'm the Bee-Gees
A Mona Lisa masterpiece
[Verse 9]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile, smile
[Verse 10]
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile, smile
[Verse 11]
Yeah, I'm thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Gotta say it's really been a while
But now I got back that smile, smile
[Verse 12]
I'm so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile, smile
