| Papa didn’t die in vain
|
| His son carries on his name
|
| His face, his fire, his flame
|
| The way he talked, the way he sang
|
| Mama still feels the pain
|
| She will not live in shame
|
| Of how her babies came
|
| And who the hell to blame now
|
| She says
|
| «Oo so thankful, oo so thankful!»
|
| «Oo so thankful, oo so thankful!»
|
| Grandma used to cut herself raw
|
| Not the hardest thing little mama’s eyes saw
|
| Said, drunk Indians fighting cops
|
| Trafficking little girls around the block
|
| I Said, «When the rape gonna stop?»
|
| She said, «Not any time soon baby that’s real talk.»
|
| Oo so thankful, oo so thankful!
|
| Oo so thankful, oo so thankful!
|
| Mama never said it’s okay
|
| For this old man to touch her this way
|
| Grandma, well she got paid
|
| And that’s one thing I’m not proud to say
|
| I never thought I’d give thanks to rape
|
| But that’s how I got here today
|
| Said, oo so thankful, oo so thankful
|
| Oo so thankful, oo so thankful
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Papa got shot in the head
|
| He got what was coming to him, now he’s dead
|
| Child molester, 36 years old
|
| Left four kids and a wife in the cold
|
| Great grandfather got shot in the back
|
| Protecting Filipinos from the corporate attack
|
| And great grandmother shot herself in the mouth
|
| She was ready to go and I could hear her shout
|
| She says
|
| «Oo so thankful, oo so thankful»
|
| «Oo so thankful, oo so thankful»
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| The papa that raised me died of cancer
|
| I was holding his hand as his spirit surrendered
|
| Put a roof over my head, food in my belly
|
| He was a king and a father to many
|
| The mother that raised me is truly a queen
|
| Taught me how to love God and follow my dreams
|
| Said
|
| «Oo so grateful, oo so grateful»
|
| «Oo so grateful, oo so grateful»
|
| Coyote came and spoke to me he says
|
| «Get used to your destiny»
|
| Coyote came and spoke to me he says
|
| «Get used to your destiny»
|
| Every moment is a mystery to me
|
| Getting pretty good at listening
|
| Every moment is a mystery to me
|
| Getting pretty good at honoring
|
| Every moment is a mystery to me
|
| Getting pretty good at listening
|
| Every moment is a mystery to me
|
| Getting pretty good at honoring
|
| Getting pretty good at listening
|
| Getting pretty good at honoring
|
| Getting pretty good at listening
|
| Getting pretty good at honoring
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, yeah
|
| Got to give, got to give, got to give
|
| I got to give my mama a little kiss, muah |
