[Intro]
Yeah…
It’s that time again.
Table full of love, not just food and plates — memories.
Family all around.
Jaden Neffy in the room — we made it, bro.
This one’s for the people that kept me grounded… and for God, who gave me life.
[Verse 1]
I used to rush through days like they owed me somethin’,
Now I slow it down, realize I owe the world somethin’.
Mom cookin’ in the kitchen, smell of peace in the air,
Everybody talkin’ loud, but man, I love that there.
Laughter bouncin’ off walls, cousins jokin’ ‘bout the past,
We ain’t perfect, but these moments — hope they last.
Jaden Neffy crackin’ jokes, same old grin,
He said, “Bro, look around, this is how we win.”
‘Cause life ain’t about the cash or the chase we run,
It’s about showin’ love before the day is done.
I thank every person who stuck by my side,
Every tear, every loss taught me how to survive.
And when I bow my head before we eat that meal,
I ain’t just sayin’ words, I’m speakin’ what’s real.
Thank You, God, for my breath, my soul, my drive,
For the gift of today, for the fact I’m alive.
[Hook]
Thankful for my fam, my friends, my life,
For the love, the laughs, the lessons, the fights.
Every single trial was worth the pain,
‘Cause it led me here where the blessings came.
Thank You, God, for the grace You give,
For another year, another day to live.
So I raise my hands, lift my voice tonight —
I’m thankful, yeah, for this gift of life.
[Verse 2]
Remember Thanksgivin’s when we barely had much?
Now we sharein’ what we got, that’s a real kind of touch.
Dad sayin’ prayers, talkin’ ‘bout old days,
Kids runnin’ ‘round while the record plays.
And me? I just sit back, takin’ it in,
Thinkin’ ‘bout where I’ve been and where I’ve been within.
See, I gave thanks when I had nothin’ but breath,
‘Cause even that alone means I cheated death.
I learned gratitude ain’t about things you hold,
It’s about faith and love — that’s real gold.
And Jaden Neffy tellin’ me, “Stay on that path,”
We both found peace, now we both can laugh.
From late nights stressin’ to early morns prayin’,
Every lesson hit hard, but I’m still sayin’ —
I’m thankful for the people who believed in me,
Even when I couldn’t see what they could see.
[Hook]
Thankful for my fam, my friends, my life,
For the love, the laughs, the lessons, the fights.
Every single trial was worth the pain,
‘Cause it led me here where the blessings came.
Thank You, God, for the grace You give,
For another year, another day to live.
So I raise my hands, lift my voice tonight —
I’m thankful, yeah, for this gift of life.
[Bridge]
Yeah…
If you’re hearin’ this right now, just stop for a sec.
Look around.
You got somethin’ to be grateful for even if it’s breathin’.
‘Cause every heartbeat means purpose.
And that’s God right there.
[Final Verse]
I ain’t ashamed to say I been lost before,
But gratitude opened up a better door.
Now every Thanksgiving, I count what’s true,
Faith, family, love and I'm so thankful, thankful.
