Lyrics

[Part I: "Funks Interlude"] [Intro] (Reece, take 'em to church) [Verse] Perfect timing, seem like I'm too late We should celebrate that I didn't break The eighteen-year deal that I didn't take Look, I promise God money equals faith Touchdown, this is not a score This has to do with God, it's something more Renewing of the mind, strengthen my core Get out of prison, hit 'em up, I'm Tupac Shakur A martyr blood and seed, it's bound to be more The enemies you see today, you'll see 'em no more Raji had a dream that we goin' on tour Couldn't wait, look what you left me before The spirit of the Lord is on me, I preach to the poor If they hate you, then they relate and it's strikin' a chord A million women want me, send me Nia Moore Lord knows I been a stepper since Diadora The real Gusto, these other niggas CB4 The YC council for enterin' war Perhaps that's a perspective that you should explore I bought my father business, you niggas is chores This my first fruits, I gotta thank You, Lord 'Cause I just had life, nigga, Ray and Claude They told me life a bitch, I studied abroad Impressed I never told, not even a fraud [Chorus] For all them nights that I was down on my knees and out, I felt too low, yeah For all them times I had to battle through them dark days and did it on my own Even when I couldn't feel the dark days on me I say a prayer, please send a blessing for me And let 'em rain out of the heavens for me Oh (Rain out of the heavens for me) [Post-Chorus] I don't want too much, yeah I just pray that You watch over me [Outro] I don't want too— too I just pray that You watch over— watch over me I don't want too much I just pray that You watch over me— watch [Part II: "Grateful"] [Intro] You have made it so that our lungs breathe, our hearts beat, our bodies move one after the other Give us what we need only as we can hold it And as we make space for more (For more) For better, for what is necessary Remind us that change is not something we do (Change is not something we do) But rather something we are [Chorus] Still, I find ways to be grateful, yeah, yeah I know that things could be worse for me, they could be worse for me Still, I find ways to be grateful, oh, yeah I know that things could be worse for me, oh (Ayy, look, ayy) [Verse] Look around, it could be worse, settle down, yeah Gotta find a way to keep a level head 'til you level out, yeah Dug deep inside myself, look what I shoveled out, yeah I know the odds against me, I doubled down, ayy I feel 'em clinging, yeah, I gotta free it, ooh I visualized inside my mind, I gotta see it through I pray for guidance, I ask God like what I need to do? I try to have faith, but it be times where I just need some proof Yeah I was meditatin' and the voice in my head said, "Brother, I'm curious How could you think that you'd be above something that we all experience? Lately, the days been takin' your joy away, what made you so serious? God can't penetrate through the noise, brother, that's why you ain't been hearin' Him" But if I'm honest, it's bittersweet, I swear When you wanna share your blessings with somebody that ain't there That's why they treat your grief brief, after a minute, they don't care After a minute, you'll be right back all alone with your tears, yeah [Chorus] Still, I find ways to be grateful, yeah, yeah (Ayy, listen to your heart, not your ears) I know that things could be worse for me, they could be worse for me Still, I find ways to be grateful, oh, yeah I know that things could be worse for me, oh Still, I find ways to be grateful, yeah, yeah (Grateful) I know that things could be worse for me, they could be worse for me Still, I find ways to be grateful, oh, yeah (Grateful) I know that things could be worse for me, oh
