Grateful

(album: Apologies In Advance - 2018)

Yeah, I wish I could put my feelings aside
I do not know why I cling to my pride
Blessings adding up, I should feel amazing
Funny how you learn to fall from grace as soon as you touch the sky
I can have it all as long as I try
Little did I notice, everything I wanted all was inside
Envious assumptions all too hard to function, dopamine consumption
I need compliments and ego driven lunches, all to feed my gumption

Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful

Back and forth on my logic, on a Tuesday night
Everything's going my way and I'm still losing my mind
I done 'bout prayed to God at least eight hundred and 4022 times
Even when the sun shines from my eyes, I still find a way to go blind
Even my whole squad, that's myself boy, I walk this road alone
Used to play Kingdom Hearts in my spare time and bump Jeezy tapes to feel grown
Feeling that who that nigga we that, Shawty Redd was my ringtone
Way before Apple Music and Spotify was all on my new phone
I was but a young boy with an old dream, can't nothing ruin my day
Made a lot of progress in my lifetime, dog, I done came a long way
I don't ever stop to think about shit, dog, like why the fuck you so mad?
Always want to talk about what I ain't got instead of everything that I have

Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
I know I can't help it, I know I can't help it
Grateful, grateful, grateful
I know I can't help it, I know I can't help it

God with me in my lowest moments, blessings on blessings right under noses
Open up your heart and smell the roses
Why your mind caught up in the future when it don't exist yet
Take a look around, all we got is now, life ain't measured by no inches
So much on my mental balancing these worries heavy weighing like a bench press
Couldn't tell I need a spot until them bells is dropping on me I don't invest
In anybody, but myself these days
I been mobbing with myself these days
I wanna trust so so bad, ain't been feeling like myself these days
Mama told me "Shake the Devil off and let it go
You put dreaming on a pedestal"
Moments get forsaken, granted you feel taken
God is giving you a better view
The only real change is inside of you
Only real change is inside of you

Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
