Give Thanks lyrics
[Intro:]
Well hear mi now
We seh we give thanks
Yuh understand, we count di blessings
Hear mi now
Di father bless we and him always a guide
Oh yes the lord will provide
An hear mi nuh
Eh follow me now
[Chorus:]
Mi naffi give thanks fi mi one dumplin inna mi plate
Cause one better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Cause atleast mi nah sleep pon grung
And mi give thanks fi mi roof ova mi head
It a leak but it still a shade me from the sun
And give thanks, give thanks,
Yuh betta give thanks fi yuh life
Cause yuh neva know when it gwen done
[Verse 1:]
Hear mi now...
Di father bless we and yes we greatful
Fi give thanks all the while
Nuh only when we plate full
Yuh betta seh a prayer
When yuh see the tin a grace bull
Give thanks fi di wanting
Until yuh get a case full (yes)
And when mi see di children suh playful
It remind mi seh we life nuffi be suh stressful
We stay faithful
Even when things get dreadful
Cause di father still a give we wings like a redbull
Soh hear mi...
[Chorus:]
Give thanks fi mi dumplin inna mi plate
Cause one better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Cause atleast mi nah sleep pon di grung
And mi give thanks fi mi roof ova mi head
It a leak but it still a shade me from the sun
And give thanks, give thanks,
Yuh betta give thanks fi yuh life
Cause yuh neva know when it gwen done
[Verse 2:]
Wah mi seh...
Remember to show gratitute
Stop di ungreatful attitude
Say yuh grace, stop bend up yuh face
And mine jah jus tek back di food
Nuh matter when we pocket flat
Like lines of latitude
We still a hold a vybz, oh yes,
We still jus in a happy mood
Cause nuh matter how yuh feel
Yuh could believe yuh going through the worse ordeal
Like di man weh wah fi kill himself
Cause a banana was him last meal
And when him fling it weh
Him see a man a nyam di peal
Soh hear wah...
[Chorus:]
Give thanks fi di dumplin inna yuh plate (woii)
Cah one better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Cause atleast mi nah sleep pon di grung
And mi give thanks fi mi roof ova mi head
It a leak but it still a shade me from the sun
And give thanks, give thanks,
Yuh betta give thanks fi yuh life
Because yuh neva know when it gweh done
[Bridge:]
Cause wah mi seh...
Give thanks fi mi dumplin inna mi plate
One better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Cause mi nah sleep pon nuh grung
Wah mi seh...
[Verse 3:]
Next time before yuh holla
Give thanks fi yuh five cents,
Even if yuh nuh have a dollar
An wah mi seh
Di next time fore yuh lament and a complain bout yuh rent
Jus give thanks seh yuh live in a apartment (yes)
A next time before yuh bawl and a complain
Bout how much yuh pay check small
Jus remember seh
Nuff people unemployed
Soh they will be more annoyed
Cause dem nuh have none at all
Suh wah mi seh (seh)
[Outro:]
Give thanks fi di dumplin inna yuh plate
Cause one better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Me nah sleep pon grung...
