2ru3 Grateful
[Intro]
Yea (laughs)
Sometimes man you just gotta look back you know
Think things over
Think back to where you came from, what you been through, yeah
Gotta recognize, the good things (laughs)
When they happening you know
Gotta be grateful (hey)
[Verse]
As I drift through the day dreaming how to get paid
Reflecting on past trials, tribulations and pain
Wishing upon the day, I could wake up and feel great
To sunshine, love in life, mind no longer strained
How I used to often dream of truly having my own
To make things better for myself and those yet unborn
To be able to provide for a queen who gonе ride
Down to the very last trеad of 50 brand new tires
Living life as a man on whom morality stands
Operating in a way where love is all in my hand
Never dissing and given with an improper intention
Only seeking to reach in loving and forward condition
Pure in essence and stature keeping my character strong
Daily improving my spirit and gaining strength in my flaws
Over the years it's been clear, I've made it far
Just thinking back to where I came from (laughs)
[Chorus]
So glad, so glad
So glad, so glad (over the years, it's been clear I've made it far)
So glad, so glad
And I ain't trying to go back
(Over the years, it's been clear I've made it far)
(Just thinking back to where I came from)
[Verse]
No more feeling that I'm living in an infinite prison
My heart don't seem as heavy, better days are in vision
Though in life there are struggles, I no longer feel crippled
Something bout this side of life just feels better and different
I used to ask to stop breathing, felt nothing to gain
Looked at life as punishment that promised nothing but pain
Stuck in the rain, though hoping hard for something to change
Steadily trying to stay strong and not succumb to the strain
Day to day, I wake up in the morning and pray
Ask the Lord for assistance as I give thanks for the day
Appreciating the fact He saw the truth in my pain
Saw me as true though others often tried to label me fake
Though many sought to discount it you remembered the years
I sacrificed and shed plenty tears
My mind is now more at rest and I'm grateful it is
Lord I love and thank you for saving me, amen
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Solo rolling through the street, up day and night
Fiending for something never gained though maintained inside
It's true indeed we all need it, it's essential to being
Yet many who claim to have it often hurt and mistreat it
Patience, with understanding and unselfish intention
A slow tongue skilled with tactfulness and ears to listen
Never judging in assumption just warm and serene
Is how love lives moves and breathes
Am I cursed to understand what I never would gain
To give a love others talk about yet never attain
Thoughts running through my mind as I try to maintain
And understand why the love I gave ain't coming my way
Now it seems I've met another soul likened to mine
Same pain, different stories with a passion to fly
We've tread the same paths just at different times
Seeking for that in each other we'd find
[Chorus]
