Intro
DJ Khaled Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna say thank you for the time and the love you share
All the help and the effort just to get me there
When everyone turned their back you showed me how much you care
You believed in me never forget you, I swear
I'll always be strong, my character define me
Temptation and ego can get you surround
A lot of people easily forget where they're coming from
I'm so grateful for all you've done to bless your soul
With the riches of love forever
Every last tide is a promise, oh
It's a blooming blessing, hey, let it flow
It's a pleasure
Hours upon hours, searching for a better way out
And the evil and ignorant people
Sat in the chopper, still just gotta look out
Jah is my God, know I'm here for a reason, yeah
Put my trust in the most high and my prayers are so consistent
Who'd have thought, it would be like this today
Nothing beat prayers, lift up your red lion in the jungle
I tell ya, he whom have been blessed
Welcome to Grateful (strength is strength, strength is strength)
To realize and appreciate all your blessings
Embrace your blessings from your heart
Express gratitude from doing righteous deeds
Asahd, my son, I love you
Thank you God
I also want to thank all my enemies, for turning they backs on me
Thank you
I'm so
I'm so grateful for all you've done to bless your soul
With the riches of love forever
Every last tide is a promise, oh
It's a blooming blessing, hey, let it flow
It's a pleasure
Hours upon hours, searching for a better way out
