Grateful ft. Configa, Speech & 1 Love Lyrics

I'm grateful

Uh

Can you turn me up a bit

Just the vocal

One day I was walking with this nice white girl

I'll never forget our vision was day and night about the world

Her perspective was so light

No constant plight for her

I wasn't intrigued she knew the future would be bright for her

She wasn't at all scared about what might occur

She knew evil was around but something mightier

Had her back, the privileges of being white

So white of her

Anywhere she traveled there was little that would stifle her

But that wasn't me

My melanin made me criminal with felonies

My history was so violent, embarrassing

I'll never for get Roots coming on tv

None of us knew where we came from or anything

We would all watch Happy Days with Evel Knieve Vel

Republicans today would go back to this scene

That's why they hate the words woke and CRT

As if ninety nine percent of em know what it means

I know what it means

It means I can't rely on human beings

It means I must go higher than

Brutal beatings

Til my eulogy

It's l i f and e

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful deep inside

I'm so grateful deep inside

I put my hands up to the sky

Make me better for the ride

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

And ya know I'm like

Trying to keep my wife cool as a cucumber

Hot flashes

Where every summer's a hot girl summer

No wonder she don't ride w stallions or rock with minaj's

Rocks with Black Queens that gleam without diamonds

New days and new ways

I surrender

Release the chains on me

God please enter

Cuz most people are California sober weeds and drinks only

Satan don't control me

Hustling with hustlers everyones a customer

Step by step to some the only crystal clear is crystal meth

Sometimes the only thing that's dear is taking a breath

Some trying to take a right but making a left

The life once in it is hard to get out

The best is not to get in, in the first place

Innocence

So I salute you if you did it

But I'm militant, I shine like a filament

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful deep inside

I'm so grateful deep inside

I Pput my hands up to the sky

Make me better for the ride

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful deep inside

I'm so grateful deep inside

I put my hands up to the sky

Make me better for the ride

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm giggity grateful for my life, my wife the price

She paid the sacrifice the fights the nights

I made my bed I laid my head

I'm nice

I rolled the dice

I hit

My lick was the lights yeah

I'm One of the stars

Like Bruno and Mars yeah

I'm fasting from broads

With emotional scars yeah

From stashin them jars

To crashing them cars

I waited

You hate it

I made it this far

From these mics and my bars yeah

From the bottom now we busting out the roof

Im breaking bread just like these white folks break a truce

I'm so thankful that he blessed me with the juice

Make no excuse

Put it to use

I'm rejoicing, lift my voice

I'm living proof

My family fed but it's like my head still in a noose

I've been misled cause what I read was not the truth

Don't act aloof

Get in the booth

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful deep inside

I'm so grateful deep inside

I put my hands up to the sky

Make me better for the ride

I'm so grateful for my life

I'm so grateful for my life
