Grateful

Yeah, I’m thankful
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful
Gotta say it’s really been a while
But now I got back that smile (Smile)
I’m so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (Smile)

Every day, Groundhog Day
Goin’ through motions, felt so fake
Not myself, not my best
Felt like I failed the test

But every tear has been a lesson
Rejection can be God’s protection
Long hard road to get that redemption
But no shortcuts to a blessin’

Yeah, I’m thankful
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful
Gotta say it’s really been a while
But now I got back that smile (Smile)
I’m so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (Smile)

I’m 2.0, remodeled
Used to be dull, now I sparkle
Had a piece of humble pie
That ego trip saved my life

Now I got a smile like Lionel Richie
Big and bright, need shades just to see me
Tryna stay alive just like I’m the Bee Gees
A Mona Lisa masterpiece

Yeah, I’m thankful
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful
Gotta say it’s really been a while
But now I got back that smile (Smile)
I’m so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful
Now you see me shine from a mile
Finally got back that smile (Smile, I thought I told you that we won’t stop)

I gotta crack a smile, even laugh a while (That’s right)
Been through a lot, but I ain’t backin’ down (Let’s go)
See, I came in the game with the flashy style
Now I’m looking at the wealth that I’m passin’ down
I’ma seen the light, it’s a pleasing sight
Girl, we even manifestin’ when we sleep at night
Fell down couple times, now we reachin’ heights
Yeah, to be precise, I’ma lead the fight (Let’s go)
Been appointed, light on your life so anointing
Catch me two-steppin’, nigga, stressin’ is pointless
No need to worry ‘cause the truth is here
And I’m smiling, bitch, with my new veneers, yeah

Yeah, I’m thankful (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Gotta say it’s really been a while
But now I got back that smile (Come on, let me see that smile, smile)
I’m so thankful
Scratch that, baby, I’m grateful (Yo, check this out)
Now you see me shine from a mile (Why don’t you smile?)
Finally got back that smile (Smile)
(And I smile, so we can smile together)

You like that, yeah? (I’m so thankful)
I like that too (‘Cause I finally, ‘cause I finally smile)
Yeah, come on
Take that
Yeah (I’m so thankful)
I see you smillin’
Let’s go (‘Cause I finally, ‘cause I finally smile)
Katy Perry
