So Grateful

Lyrics

So Grateful Verse 1 performed by Redd Lettaz I'm from the city of common sense Where it's common to borrow a dollar with No intent of returning it Where mogs molly wop you for commas but once karma pour thicker than caramel Ya ice and cream bring nothing but Sunday's drama for church mamas to gossip I could have been a product of it But I got little and started scribbling since dribbling was never my thing Could have went to proviso and pirated bling cuffing buss downs to fling this ding-a-ling But God intervened and sent this troubling teen to So. Fla Slept on the floor never the sofa All I did was write, draw, read since TV was forbidden and I wasn't allowed hanging out, chilling Life was a prison then, in came the resentment Hated authority, in came resistance But instead of bucking against it I figured twist it Internalize so much I cut myself razor blades Flirted with suicide so much I decided that we should date Asked her out four times in my life She never took me out, I guess I wasn't her type Graduated, believing I was a demon because my imagination was tipping the Richter And no one could get the picture that I was gifted they just presented Jesus as a fixer Of what's wrong with me so I mixed the elixir Of NyQuil/Theraflu to hush the insomnia Didn't wanna be a druggy like my momma I wanted to be jaded, I wanted to be dead, I wanted to be faded to black life was something I hated I was confused, Redd Lettaz was Blue, alone with only a pen to turn to Then God came through, I figured to him I was stealth But then Hov was like, "Allow me to reintroduce myself! You're not broken, you're wounded, you not crazy, you genius Follow me, let me give your life some meaning. I love you and I mean it." Since then I haven't given up So I guess I'm grateful God saved me and didn't let me self destruct... Chorus You might feel like The world hates you What you go through It can't break you See I been there And I'm still here And no matter what I'm so grateful, I'm so grateful I'm so grateful, I'm so grateful Verse 2 The president wants to kill me Cause I don't be rapping silly And I ain't chasing a "billi" But people hear me and feel me I'm done with beefing and bitching 'Bout all the money I'm missing From paying college tuition I said I should've did prison But nah I didn't mean it Had conversations with demons They told me to fix the blues, that I had to focus on green, and Promote, smoking and leaning And slinging dope to the fiends yea I told y'all follow my lead but Me getting paid was the reason Some days I take for granted, my time and space on this planet My goal was making the bands Bought a house and I raised my standards This microphone's an advantage To reach the hungry and famished You thinking burger or sandwich I'm thinking purposeful anguish The fathers are doing magic, vanishing making bastards That's why the pushers got malice Why twenty-one is so savage Why little uzis are clapping Why young thugs are trapping We worship designer fabric My words have been so passive But now My pen lights fires, I incite riots The kids like violence I clap heat, my friends might buy it I'm like, four times as sick but I'm ten times tired I'm growing like I'm on a French fry diet I'm so thankful Whenever negative talk Enters my thoughts, my mental shuts off, and I use all the lessons I taught So the devils get tossed I throw away regret and remorse, and I cherish everyone I love and all the deaths that I lost I never did floss, I mentioned my flaws I was a common crook Left the game, it got too feminine, I was kinda shook Dudes rocking dresses, that's genocidal, now clutching a mini-bible is the one and only time I hold a pocketbook ...I live a life you can see God blessed Eternal shine, I got neon flesh I came back when there's demand, I supply like a Econ test To speak to pill popping girls having E contests It don't matter if the nation's divided Or who your neighbor is siding with If the lawmakers are racists deciding On every policy, when all I see is a place to reside in Fam, food, clothing, and a way to provide it, I'm so grateful Chorus You might feel like The world hates you What you go through It can't break you See I been there And I'm still here And no matter what I'm so grateful, I'm so grateful I'm so grateful, I'm so grateful
