[Intro: Denmark Vessey]

Yo, thank the Lord

I can recognize a blessin'

Yeah, I'm grateful

I'm grateful, I-I swear

I swear, yeah

I appreciate it, like clean air

Yeah, (one) uh

Ya naw mean?

Thank the Lord

Thank the Lord

Yeah

[Verse 1: Denmark Vessey]

Thank the Lord, the world effed up

Make the common man even fall or step up

Stepped in a power vacuum and got my dick sucked

In the era where the big wigs say blatant fibs

All the real niggas can't shoot straight, they spray the kids

In this White man world, you got two options

Either you Taye Diggs or you ain't shit

My inner child's in a school-to-prison pipeline

Meanwhile, I'm like the key in the forty tied to a kite line

Keep it one Benjamin, homie, I'm like the zeitgeist

I've turned the wave into a sine after the spike died

DWYCK in my DNA

Free the nipple, eatin' pussy right in PETA face, sue me

I need more light on my brand

Watch your mouth if y'all jaw like lightnin' hit sand

Morrey (grateful, yeah grateful)

[Chorus: Denmark Vessey & billy woods]

Thank you Lord for everything you've given me (grateful, grateful)

Thank you universe for everything you've given me (thank you)

(grateful)

I know what comes with this

I'm grateful, thank you

Funny thing is they could've just, they could've just left me alone (thank you Lord)

[Verse 2: billy woods]

In the street nobody knows my name

Google cachet, I live in the past, admittedly passé, but they shit for brains

Feel like the Moors in Spain

Easy come, easy go, nobody tryna hear the poors complain

Get you a bag, young boy, proof up the doors on that Range

From far away, tapes sound like Lebron Flocka James

Come closer for that come-to-Jesus moment

Your mouth had dried saliva at the corners

Unnerved, I told my White driver, "Keep goin'"

Unperturbed, my Somalian ghost writers kept flowin'

Told Scorsese whatever you do, motherfucker, don't you stop rollin'

Chameleons move in stop-motion, how do you not notice?

No questions asked, nobody wants to know, I should know this

Post-coital, errything was soft focus

Initially flattered then suspicious how she only want it backwards

Collect seats wages, pay all applicable taxes

All-stars with the patches on the jackets

[Bridge: E L U C I D]

Please confirm the humanity

Please, please confirm the humanity

[Verse 3: E L U C I D & Denmark Vessey]

Tongue flickin' the nipple of the motherboard

Me not want war no more

Send the cyborg instead, if you must

Speak but do not tell

Look but do not touch

My other thousand selves, I sold them off before the flood

A negus learn to ride the whale like Jonah in the OT

Surface to air, came up too fast, made my nose bleed

Red dot beam at your crow's feet

Chrome dream

Tiny hole, slow leak

Like hacks for the simulacrum

Never introduce yourself as a rapper

I own all my masters, even my name

Ash and hash on limbs of my would-be assassin

Shots of sour mash you up, pretzel structures collapsin'

Rhyme pattern taxin', takin' half

This Black boy magic not no rabbit out Uncle Sam hat shit

Or bootstrap it, make it past my calf

Flash, bang, grenade, I'm on yo' ass

My craft came of age since the pre-millennium tension

This witch face is authentic

Skin of tooth, two tin tree take flight, roof to roof

Scatter shower, dope balloon, legend of the maroon, we real cool (grateful)

(Grateful)

[Chorus: Denmark Vessey]

Thank you Lord for everything you've given me (grateful, yeah, I'm grateful)

Thank you universe for everything you've given me (grateful, thank you, grateful)

I know what comes with this (grateful, yeah)

I'm grateful (yeah), thank you

Thank the Lord
