Lyrics
0:07Papa didn't die in vain
0:08His son carries on his name
0:11His face his fire his flame
0:13The way he talked the way he sang
0:16Mans still feels the pain
0:18She will not live in vain
0:20Of how where babies came
0:22Who the hole to blame now
0:24She says
0:25Oo so thankful oo so thankful
0:29Oo so thankful oo so thankful
0:34Grandma used to cut herself raw
0:36Not the hardest thing little mama's eyes saw
0:38Said drunk Indians fighting cops
0:41Trafficking little girls around the block
0:43I said when the R**e gonna stop
0:45Any time soon baby that's real talk say
0:48Oo so thankful oo so thankful
0:52Oo so thankful oo so thankful
0:57Mama never said it's okay
0:59This old man to touch her this way
1:01Grandma well she got paid
1:03And that's one thing I'm not proud to say
1:06I never thought I'd give thanks for rape
1:08But that's how I got here today
1:10Said oo so thankful oo so thankful
1:15Oo so thankful oo so thankful
1:19Got to give got to give got to give
1:22I got to give my mama a little kiss yeah
1:24Got to give got to give

1:36I got to give my mama a little kiss one
1:56Papa got shot in the head
1:58He got what was coming to him now he's dead
2:01Child molester 36 years old
2:03Left four kids and a wife in the cold
2:05Great grandfather got shot in the back
2:07Protecting Filipinos
2:08From the corporate attack
2:10And great grandmother
2:11Shot herself in the mouth
2:12She was ready to go
2:13And I could hear her shout
2:14She says
2:14Oo so thankful oo so thankful
2:19Oo so thankful oo so thankful
2:23Got to give got to give got to give
2:26I got to give my papa a little kiss yeah

2:33Got to give got to give
2:35I got to give my papa a little kiss yeah
2:37Got to give got to give
2:40I got to give my papa a little kiss one
3:00The papa that raised me died of cancer
3:02I was holding his hand
3:03As his spirit surrendered
3:04Put a roof over my head
3:06Food in my belly
3:07He was a king and a father to many
3:09The mother that raised me
3:10Is truly a queen
3:12Taught me how to love God
3:13And follow my dreams
3:14Said oo so grateful oo so grateful
3:18Oo so grateful oo so grateful
3:23Coyote came and spoke to me he said
3:26Get used to your destiny
3:28Coyote came and spoke to me he said
3:30Get used to your destiny
3:32Every moment is a mystery to me
3:35Getting pretty good at listening
3:37Every moment is a mystery to me
3:39Getting pretty good at honoring
3:41Every moment is a mystery to me
3:44Getting pretty good at listening
3:46Every moment is a mystery to me
3:48Getting pretty good at honoring
3:51Getting pretty good at listening
3:53Getting pretty good at honoring
3:55Getting pretty good at listening
