Thankful
Lewis Grant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had to get my money up, I put it on my mom
You drive shitty music, sussy boy, you are a flop
Seems the ladies nowadays, just use me as a straw
Write a story on my money, glad that that's the plot
So glad that I'm finally up next
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex
Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex

You should know
Forty degrees or below
Got some frostbite from my neck
And on my wrist, I'm way too cold
Want a thottie that never fold
Got some ballet on my clothes
Baby tripled up his fee in just a year from doing shows, ayy

Skrrt a foreign and your wifey wanna jump in for a ride
I'm so sorry, lady friend, can't you see that I'm occupied?

Had to get my money up, I put it on my mom
You drive shitty music, sussy boy, you are a flop
Seems the ladies nowadays, just use me as a straw
Write a story on my money, glad that that's the plot
So glad that I'm finally up next
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex
Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex

Some wait for me
Some waited to leave
Some waited for me to get it
But the moment I said it was the moment they'd beat
In trouble, let me down slow
Now I'm running this motion
Word around town is the moment's closing
Told you I don't care what you want from me, want from me

So glad that I'm finally up next
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex
Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex

So glad that I'm finally up next (up next)
Ever since a baby all I wanna do is flex (flex)




Thank God that I know I'm up next
Call me Ariana 'cause I'm thankful for my ex
