So Thankful - Nahko and Medicine for the People[00:00:00]
Written by:Nahko[00:00:00]
Papa didn't die in vain[00:00:07]
His son carries on his name[00:00:08]
His face his fire his flame[00:00:11]
The way he talked the way he sang[00:00:13]
Mans still feels the pain[00:00:16]
She will not live in vain[00:00:18]
Of how where babies came[00:00:20]
Who the hole to blame now[00:00:22]
She says[00:00:24]
Oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:00:25]
Oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:00:29]
Grandma used to cut herself raw[00:00:34]
Not the hardest thing little mama's eyes saw[00:00:36]
Said drunk Indians fighting cops[00:00:38]
Trafficking little girls around the block[00:00:41]
I said when the rape gonna stop[00:00:43]
Any time soon baby that's real talk say[00:00:45]
Oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:00:48]
Oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:00:52]
Mama never said it's okay[00:00:57]
This old man to touch her this way[00:00:59]
Grandma well she got paid[00:01:01]
And that's one thing I'm not proud to say[00:01:03]
I never thought I'd give thanks for rape[00:01:06]
But that's how I got here today[00:01:08]
Said oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:01:10]
Oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:01:15]
Got to give got to give got to give[00:01:19]
I got to give my mama a little kiss yeah[00:01:22]

Papa got shot in the head[00:01:56]
He got what was coming to him now he's dead[00:01:58]
Child molester 36 years old[00:02:01]
Left four kids and a wife in the cold[00:02:03]
Great grandfather got shot in the back[00:02:05]
Protecting Filipinos[00:02:07]
From the corporate attack[00:02:08]
And great grandmother[00:02:10]
Shot herself in the mouth[00:02:11]
She was ready to go[00:02:12]
And I could hear her shout[00:02:13]
She says[00:02:14]
Oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:02:14]
Oo so thankful oo so thankful[00:02:19]

The papa that raised me died of cancer[00:03:00]
I was holding his hand[00:03:02]
As his spirit surrendered[00:03:03]
Put a roof over my head[00:03:04]
Food in my belly[00:03:06]
He was a king and a father to many[00:03:07]
The mother that raised me[00:03:09]
Is truly a queen[00:03:10]
Taught me how to love God[00:03:12]
And follow my dreams[00:03:13]
Said oo so grateful oo so grateful[00:03:14]
Oo so grateful oo so grateful[00:03:18]
Coyote came and spoke to me he said[00:03:23]
Get used to your destiny[00:03:26]
Coyote came and spoke to me he said[00:03:28]

Every moment is a mystery to me[00:03:32]
Getting pretty good at listening[00:03:35]
