emma lee m.c. - the gifts lyrics

1st verse

(what we thankful for?)

for the life, health, and strength, for the gas in my tank
for the file and the rank, rich with or without a bank
for the use of my limbs, for these lyrical hymns
for the shots and the rim, for relearning how to swim
for the stunt and the growth, for the mud and the soap
for the powerful quotes, for the truth when lies is spoke
for the numbers and signs, for the actions inspired
for the chakras aligned, spirit angels, spirit guides
do y’all hear me? let me spit it clearly till you feel me
flat line shaped to geometry
might not see it though, full of chemicals
bringing sensual to decimals
written word stay legible, give em smoke, give em edibles
so, express my thank you for condition
for creating new habits and breaking hypnotic addictions
for the grip after i’m slipping
for awarenesses that i’m tripping and
pole+opposite strip my thinking
for the body i was given, for the body that i created
and utilized in all of my visions
footsteps and the fingerprints
for what they’ll never take away from me
my fundamental energy (inner g)
priorities and collateral
for change sudden or gradual, ability to lateral
i’m thankful to communicate
to see and observe the lesson
yet only absorb the blessing yes
hook

thankful, so thankful
(it’s the attitude of gratitude)
thankful, so thankful
(it’s the altitude of aptitude)
thankful, so thankful
(it’s the magnitude of amplitude)
thankful, so thankful
(why? why?)
these are the gifts

2nd verse

for dimensional trips, materials equipped
for baby+making hips, liquid, and nitrogen lips
for those who never switched, for letters that was shipped
when bars and bricks were pimps
cases zipped and walls was thick
for control and escape, for new choices to make
for removing (debate) hook, line, sink, retrace
for mixtapes and the battles, park jams and the samples
for musical example showing creation is ample
so, i ask again do y’all hear me though?
should i spit it more vigor or more medicinal?
both, you already know we need plenty more
need way more than a song, good start keep going
we finna build forward, forward, forward
for advance and the increase
for intentions that’s reached, for the healing for peace
for clean water, fresh food, clean towels, and sheets
for the tension release, pain being relieved
mobility of the mind and relearning to breathe
for those who meet me in construction, love or to teach
for ancestral assets, land, and dignity
for animal heartbeats and possibility
for everyone who ever heard emma lee m.c
stank+faced and said sheesh, shorty dope she a beast
for visibility and chances, ways, and the means
for transcending gossip, politics, industry
hook

3rd verse (a cappella)

these are the gifts
these are the gifts
these are the gifts

this reminded me of one my favorite verses

first of all n0body knows you
bars too flowful, don’t get hopeful
god by your side? mary magnified?
you’ll need a pope+ful
gon “how to rob” these n++++s?
line ‘em up, you’ll need a scopeful
but keep it real your matrix feels is just too (ne+yo) soulful
your album bout to give way too many songs
too much artistry and concepts, just too many poems
been behind the scenes so long your (reel) just cutting too strong
man who you be, spike lee? reverse and “do the thing (wrong)”
man too dark, too ancestral, just too brown and too black
too mahogany, lupita, feed her model contracts
too shapely, too feminine and seem too soft in attack
then too masculine, you ravage men who spineless on tracks
too in touch with the streets, subway, buses and cleats
the concrete done rubbed the prints right off your fingers and feet
know your network too deep, too ahead of 5g
then too seven, too double eleven, nines is complete
lastly, you not a rapsody, che noir, minajesty
the likes of you ain’t never seen before, you can’t compete
so many styles, you ghost in sh+ll
no gas, too practiced on the mic
without co+sign, ghostwrite
too young yet too mature in life
you too much fun, pick one
through all of that
i’m still thankful
