Thankful - J.J. Hairston & Youthful Praise

I do not understand The things I've been given in life aren't there And everything seems against me all the time I don't know how to stand up But I've got faith in myself and all of the things I do I don't need no one else to tell me what I can't do If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know I'm just out here chillin' with my fam peeps You don't understand me If you listen to my songs just a little bit deeper You might release my dreams Or you might release my inner demons That's just a little scary 'Cause I don't know them but they all know me And that's just a little weird so I'll keep that to myself I don't have any real hype right now I don't even have a real mic right now, but I'm just singin' on my laptop 'cause I want to I swear no one else can stop you so Just do what you want to Just do what you want yeah Just do what you want to You know that you want to If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know
