Thankful N' Thoughtful

Oh, Sunday morning

I forgot my prayer

I should have been happy

Yeah, I'd still be there

Something could have come and taken me away (Thankful)

But the main man felt Sly should be here another day (Thoughtful)

And that's why I got to be (Thankful)

Yeah, yeah, hey

I gotta be (Thoughtful)

(Thankful) Thank you

Oh-ho, oh, oh, you gotta be (Thoughtful)

From the line on my ankle (Thankful)

To the top of my head

I've taken my chances, ha (Thoughtful)

I coulda been dead

I started climbing from the bottom (Thankful)

Yeah, yeah, all the way to the top, uh-huh, uh-huh

And before I knew it (Thoughtful)

I was up there, you believe it or not, yeah

(Thankful)

(Thoughtful)

(Thankful)

(Thoughtful)

Oh, something gets me (Thankful)

I put my head on tight

Because I know the future (Thoughtful)

Everything'll be all right

Until then, I'll just kick back and let the light shine (Thankful)

Remember, all yours coulda been all mine (Thoughtful)

And that's why y'all oughta be (Thankful)

You ought to be (Thoughtful)

Well, well, well (Thankful)

(Thoughtful)

Middle of the stream (Thankful)

I had to change my stroke

I say I put it on the good foot (Thoughtful)

And it ain't no joke

They said I was dying (Thankful)

I didn't wanna go

I kept on feeling (Thoughtful)

I had to live some more

I had something to tell y'all

To be (Thankful)

Y'all oughta be (Thoughtful)

(Thankful)

(Thoughtful)

Still rectifying, yeah (Thankful)

Just straightening things out

I know what a good feeling (Thoughtful)

You're never in doubt

Sometimes I'm by myself (Thankful)

Oh, Lord, I'm feeling alone

I just look around and check it out (Thoughtful)

Coulda been all gone

Why I'm still happy to be here

(Thankful)

(Thoughtful)

You ought to be (Thankful)

You got every reason in the world, oh (Thoughtful)

Count your blessings

My mama gave me a song (Thankful)

Said, son, sing

Record Thankful n' Thoughtful

It'd be such a nice thing

People got to be reminded (Thankful)

Where it's really at

Make your daddy happy (Thoughtful)

Mama, ya mama like it like that

You know I know you know I know I'm thankful
