lyrics

Some people want forever, others want today
Me I want whatever, thankful either way
Bow my head at night, close my eyes and pray
Come whatever might, heard my mama say

Anything you ever want is in arms' reach
That’s assuming your arms are really long gee
They say the top of the world is pretty lonely
While whoever up there is sittin' comfy
Some of us livin' hungry

Luckily
Play the cards I was dealt and it’s enough for me
I don’t talk about the future like it’s up to me
Cause I know it’s not, but I’m gon' give this all I got
Shootin my shot

Some people want forever, others want today
Me I want whatever, thankful either way
Bow my head at night, close my eyes and pray
Come whatever might, heard my mama say

Beggars can’t be choosers
Beggars can’t be choosers
Beggars can’t be choosers
Beggars can’t be choosers

Sweet hot jubilee
Toast to everything you’ve achieved
Adversity aside I do believe
Long as my heart beat I’m truly free
If that brother's plate is all you can eat
It ain’t got jack to do with me
Success is one thing not everything
I will not envy what was not meant for me

Juice ain’t making no excuse
Don’t wanna live a day in any other shoes
Somebody got a win somebody gotta lose
But either way it go we all get the blues
I’ll be the living proof
Brought all my favorite stresses to the show & tell
For every day the goin ain’t goin well
And you overwhelmed I hope it helps

Some people want forever, others want today
Me I want whatever, thankful either way
Bow my head at night, close my eyes and pray
Come whatever might, heard my mama say

Beggars can’t be choosers
Beggars can’t be choosers
Beggars can’t be choosers
Beggars can’t be choosers
