[Intro] [percussive acoustic guitar strumming] [Verse 1] [male vocals enter] I got a lady who really knows me, I got a baby who truly loves me, I got a son and he’s so amazing, we don’t have money but we’re still blazing. We got a small place we call it home, four little heartbeats under one dome. We don’t have diamonds, we don’t have gold, but what we’re holding no one can own. [Chorus] I got a lady who really knows me, I got a baby who truly loves me, I got a son and he’s so amazing, we don’t have money but we’re still praising. We got a home and we make it shine, all of this love here money can’t buy. We don’t have much but still it feels good, what we are living yeah, it’s gratitude. [Verse 2] I got a promise, I’m gonna stay now, when things get heavy won’t walk away now. We got some late bills, we got some doubt, but in the hard times we work it out. I got a heartbeat next to my chest, I got their laughter when life’s a mess. We don’t have extra, we barely do, but what we do have is me and you. [Instrumental Break] [strumming intensifies, percussive slaps on guitar body] [Bridge] Don’t take it down, this is gratitude, it’s gratitude, it’s gratitude. [Verse 3] I got a blessing inside my home, I got a table we carved our own. I got a son and this is his song, little reminders of where we belong. I got their faces in morning light, I got their breathing late in the night. I wrote this song just to sing the truth: all that we live is just gratitude. It’s gratitude, it’s gratitude, it’s gratitude, it’s gratitude for you. (ooh-hoo) [Outro] [guitar strumming fades to a single sustained chord]
