Oh yes the lord will provide

Mi naffi give thanks fi mi one dumplin inna mi plate
Cause one better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Cause atleast mi nah sleep pon grung
And mi give thanks fi mi roof ova mi head

And give thanks, give thanks,
Yuh betta give thanks fi yuh life

When yuh see the tin a grace bull
Give thanks fi di wanting
Until yuh get a case full (yes)
And when mi see di children suh playful

Cause di father still a give we wings like a redbull

Give thanks fi mi dumplin inna mi plate

Stop di ungreatful attitude
Say yuh grace, stop bend up yuh face
Nuh matter when we pocket flat
Like lines of latitude
We still a hold a vybz, oh yes,
We still jus in a happy mood
Cause nuh matter how yuh feel
Yuh could believe yuh going through the worse ordeal
Like di man weh wah fi kill himself
Cause a banana was him last meal
And when him fling it weh
Him see a man a nyam di peal
Soh hear wah...

[Chorus:]
Give thanks fi di dumplin inna yuh plate (woii)
Cah one better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Cause atleast mi nah sleep pon di grung
And mi give thanks fi mi roof ova mi head
It a leak but it still a shade me from the sun
And give thanks, give thanks,
Yuh betta give thanks fi yuh life
Because yuh neva know when it gweh done

Give thanks fi mi dumplin inna mi plate

And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
Cause mi nah sleep pon nuh grung

Give thanks fi yuh five cents,
Even if yuh nuh have a dollar

Di next time fore yuh lament and a complain bout yuh rent
Jus give thanks seh yuh live in a apartment (yes)
A next time before yuh bawl and a complain
Bout how much yuh pay check small

Soh they will be more annoyed
Cause dem nuh have none at all

[Outro:]
Give thanks fi di dumplin inna yuh plate
Cause one better than none
And mi give thanks fi mi bed weh deh pon di block
