Thankful n' Thoughtful

Sunday morning, I forgot my prayer
 I should have been happy, I still be there
 Something could have come and taken me away
 But the Main-man felt Sly should be here another day
 That's why I got to be thankful yeah, yeah
 I gotta be thoughtful
 Ah, ha thankful, you gotta be
 Thoughtful
 From the thing on my ankle to the top of my head
 I've taken my chances huh, I could have been dead
 I started climbing from the bottom, oh yeah
 All the way to the top ah huh
 Before I knew it, I was up there
 You believe it or not
 Thankful, thoughtful
 Thankful, thoughtful

 Oh something gets me, hah, put my head on tight

 Until then, I'll kick back and let the light shine
 Remember all yours coulda been all mine
 That's why you ought to be thankful
 Hah, hah, you ought to be thoughtful
 Thoughtful
 Thankful, thoughtful

 Middle of a stream, hah, I had to change my stroke
 I say I put it on the good foot, and it ain't no joke
 They said I was dyin', I didn't want to go
 I kept on feelin' I had to live some more
 I had somethin' to tell y'all
 To be thankful, you oughta be thoughtful
 Still rectifying, straightening things out
 I know what a good feelin' you're never in doubt
 Sometimes I'm by myself, feelin' alone
 I just look around and check it out and then it's all gone
 I'm still happy to be here
 Thankful you oughta be thoughtful

 Count your blessings
