Nkenge Is XX. (Cover of James Blake's "Retrograde")

i thank god for soul
i thank god for hands
i thank god for drums, and the bells, and the bands

i thank god for pianos
i thank god for all types of things
but quite often piano
cuz that's my baby

i just wish my keys were weighted
why do things cost so much money?
its so un funny

we all need things
or so it seems
to find lovers, to make way, to build dreams

we need things
to make things 
to thank god for, then ask god more; for more things
