I’m Thankful Headie One

[Verse 1]
I really could have died before my first album, let alone my second
This road I'm on, freedom, even breathing is a blessing
In the trenches I've exceeded everything that was expected
I could change the way this started, but I'll change the way it's ending
All them nights in prison might just have been the best thing
My life's a movie, you can't see this one on Netflix
I thought my life was over when my sentence got extended
Made millions off that sentence, could have been another sentence
I come too far to look up to the Lord and not thank him more
Wait till I'm on a case to ask him for a penance
I can handle all my enemies, protect me for my bredrens
I lost two smokes last week, security's expensive
Remember sleeping in a rental, listening to instrumentals
SIM card in my mouth, that's when I'm banking all the pebbles
Twenty-four shift, fam, I'm downing all the Red Bull
Now that same nigga there selling out the venue
More time, I was stressful, and I still feel resentful
I realised everything that happened, it was meant to
I stay tryna rap about progression
But I'll hold on to the past, the time comes, you gotta let go

[Chorus]
To my pa I say, "Thank you," my aunt I say, "Thank you"
HMP, every single gov, I say, "Thank you"
The sergeant that put me in those cuffs, I say, "Thank you"
I got done dirty by a judge, I say, "Thank you"
The tough times I went through ain't coincidental
Broken home and broken heart is what gave me my breakthrough
I pray to the Lord this future's nothing like my past
If only you could see my heart, you'll know I'm thankful
