Modern Day Slavery

These are the things
I see Right in front of me
As I open my eyes oh I give
Thanks tuh life, oh yes lawd
As the days go by
Out comes the sun, shinin on my
Face again, aha
Grades get me high,
High so I can meditate, oh whoa.
Dreams of brighter days aha, aha, aha
Highest grades we blaze aha, aha, ahh
Dreams of brighter days aha, aha, aha
giving thanks, giving thanks,
Giving thanks, giving thanks tuh life
Giving thanks and praise.
As I open my window and glance
Through my window I realize there’s no turnin back
Thant to complete life’s journey though
Things get contrary but got to make
It tuh the top
See, am searchin for ah way to survive
Workin so hard I know Jah will provide
Both see,
Oh am keepin my head high
Mama tell me de limit is de sky.
Dreams of brighter days aha, aha, aha
Highest grades we blaze aha, aha, ahh

Highest grades we blaze aha, aha, ahh
Dreams of brighter days aha, aha, aha

Giving thanks, giving thanks tuh life
