Gr8teful Songtext
von Nappy Roots

Yeah, ha

The thrill is gone, it ain′t never coming back

The path I'm on for a fact is long
Hard times won′t define me, sometimes I'm wrong
Smoking dro so strong that my mind is blown
I'm barely hanging on and this ain′t a song
This here my life story, put some singing on
I′m a grown black man in the danger zone
Feel it's me against the globe and I ain′t alone
I came for the fame, how the game was so
Fucked up from the jump's how my name in bold

Paid what I made for a chain and gold
Didn′t learn from my mistakes 'til I slowed my roll
But I′m grateful, thank God that I'm willing and able
Capable to put food on my table
Win more than I lose how my days go
Put yourself in my shoes, view the angle


Look how far we've come, bottom of the slums
Every time we fell, we got right back up
Every time the money low, we bounce back
Everything we wanted, we gon′ get that

And we grateful, we grateful, we grateful
We grateful, we grateful, we grateful
We grateful, we grateful, we grateful
We just grateful, yeah, we grateful
I can do anything, look what we came from
And all of the work that we did just to come up
So every chance that we see, we gon′ run it up, oh

Red stripes and purp, uh, Kettle One 'til I burp
Stew curry a jerk, matter fact, Ac′ and Dumpling and purp
Life is good, nigga, that's church
Made it out the hood, nigga, that′s work
Gotta keep the fam with me, that's first
None of us rich but could be worse
Could be riding off in a hearse
Lowered down in some dirt

People slowly disperse
What they remember′s all that you're worth
So we celebrate this life


Elevate with each light
Roll me up and take flight
Watch my aura shine so bright

Look how far we've come, bottom of the slums
Every time we fell, we got right back up
Every time the money low, we bounce back
Everything we wanted, we gon′ get that

And we grateful, we grateful, we grateful
We grateful, we grateful, we grateful
We grateful, we grateful, we grateful
We just grateful, yeah, we grateful
I can do anything, look what we came from
And all of the work that we did just to come up
So every chance that we see, we gon′ run it up, oh

Look how far we've come, bottom of the slums
Every time we fell, we got right back up
Yeah, we grateful, we grateful, we grateful
Yeah, we grateful, we grateful, we grateful
Yeah, we grateful, we grateful, we grateful
Yeah, we grateful, we just grateful
