Thankful - Meshell Ndegeocello

Just wanna be happy

Motherfuckers like fancy things

Big houses

Big cars

Like movie stars

Gotta have everything

Numb myself to the suffering

Just wanna be happy

And thankful

Not just

Try to get through

Just wanna be happy

Thankful

Not just

Try to get through

Should i lie

Should i cheat

Turn on my tv

Tell me what i want

What i need

I lose my faith sometimes

I lose my faith sometimes, yeah

So much suffering for

Fancy cars

Big houses

Everything

I lose my faith sometimes

I lose my faith sometimes, yeah

Just want to be happy

And thankful

Not just

Try to get through

Just want to be happy

And thankful

Just want to be happy

And thankful

Try to get through

You’re all i need

Lay your burden down

Ease my sadness

You’re all i need

I lose my faith sometimes

I lose faith sometimes

Just trying to get through

I lose faith sometimes

You’re all i need

Lay your burden down

I lose faith sometimes

You’re all i need

I’m thankful

That i feel you

Ease your sadness

You’re all i need

Lay your burden down

Ease my sadness

You’re all i need

Lay my burden down

I laid my burden down
