Good Thing
D Smoke Ty Dolla $ign Lyrics

I heard good things come in many forms, huh
I've heard that blessings can manifest in various ways

Get your blessings in the morning
Be grateful for what you have, especially when you wake up

Shit, them fake friends wasn't headed where I'm going (going)
People who aren't genuine won't share my path to success

Life is somethin' like a poem
Life can be a piece of art and expression

Cry now, get your blessings in the morning
It's okay to feel emotions and cry, but don't forget to be grateful

'Cause whether not I win, tryna get through the storm
Even if I don't succeed, I am still trying to persevere through tough times

And when it's getting warm
When things seem to be improving

Might fuck around and be a good thing
Sometimes, unexpected situations can turn out to be positive

I heard good girls wanna have some fun, uh
I've heard that women want to enjoy themselves

But she ain't easily influenced (yeah)
But she won't be swayed easily by others

Won't let just anyone approach and get in her corner
She is selective about who she allows into her life

Still globally connected, Spectrum or Time Warner
She still has access to communication and technology

Blessed with a mind focused, she work for a nice body
She has a strong mind and works hard on her physical health

Step in that room flawless, flexing a light hobby
She enters a space with confidence and shows off her interests

Rockin' that blouse braless, free as a kite
She dresses comfortably and without restriction, feeling free

Highly independent, ain't no man gon' save her, uh
She knows how to take care of herself and doesn't rely on others for help

Friends come in all flavors
Friends can have different personalities and traits

But every crew got a Brutus to a Caesar, a Judas
Even close friends can betray each other

She lady Jesus, gon' and trade her like the Lakers
She is a valuable person who should never be treated poorly or taken for granted

Be quick to let 'em go and best believe they gon' miss you (yup)
If someone isn't bringing positivity to your life, it's okay to cut ties and they will eventually regret losing you

When you level up, you can't take everybody wit' you
As you grow and reach new heights, not everyone will be able to come with you

Gotta turn a seed to a harvest, up out that issue
You need to cultivate and grow something good out of a difficult situation

And as you earn your stripes, that's how you make it official
As you gain experience and success, your position is solidified

I think I write too many songs (songs)
I may be overly dedicated to my craft

Before I go to bed tonight, I pray to God in poems (poems)
I express my gratitude and hopes in creative ways

My lady on that pedal bike, she a rider before
My partner is strong and determined

That rock, she got a boulder, plus my shoulders keep her warm, uh
She carries a heavy burden, but I support and comfort her

I don't want no lame-ass, chasing fame-ass
I don't want someone desperate for attention or celebrity status

Do-anything-for-a-name-ass ho tryna kick it, uh
I don't want someone who will do anything for personal gain to try to hang out with me

Blessings fall like rain, bask with a name tag
I am fortunate and successful, proud to share it with others

Saying, "Smoke, go to the bank", bags hanging from the ceiling
Others recognize my success and want my advice on financial matters

I obtained it, I admit it
I worked hard and earned what I have

I do more than I can handle
I take on too much and sometimes struggle

Kidnapped this shit called rap and I'm having to pay a ransom
I've dedicated my life to music and sometimes feel held hostage by my own ambition

My swagger been this casual, khakis be on me hangin'
I am naturally confident and comfortable in clothing like khakis

My faith, it keep me safe, still I keep a reaper for danger
My spiritual beliefs protect and guide me, but I am still cautious and aware of danger

People can't understand it, they see it from different angles
Others may not comprehend my perspective or actions

Why it's so many demons up in the City of Angels?
The place with the name Los Angeles can still harbor negative and harmful experiences

I'm swift to change direction, I'm steady breaking they ankles
I am quick to adapt and make changes, leaving others trying to catch up

You don't support your friends, they quickly turn into strangers
If you don't show love and support to those close to you, they will distance and become strangers

But maybe that's a good thing
Perhaps losing those who aren't genuine or supportive is ultimately a positive outcome
