If They Told Me

[Chorus]
A chance to live, a chance to thrive
A chance to be all that you could be in this life
A chance to glow, a chance to grow
A chance to reach your potential
If they told me this was the end (This was the end)
I'm grateful for the life I lived (For the life I lived)
If they told me this was the end (This was the end, oh-oh)
I'm grateful for the life I lived (I'm grateful for the life I lived)

[Verse]
Ayy, look
Lookin' in the mirror at someonе you could be honest with
Not evеrybody made it this far, you should be confident
Just know it's all inside your mind like a neurologist
We win and we lose but why the losses feel prominent and irreversible? (Uh)
The wrong that people did to me, I ain't take personal
Wore my heart on my sleeve even when it would hurt to show, I pray God would be merciful
I've seen faces of miracles, I've seen cases that's terminal, damn
I was looking for meaning, bro, really searching
It's a reason why it happened, what had happened, I was learning
Through it all, I couldn't shake this one thought that just kept returning
Bro, stop questioning the mysterious ways that God work in
Check your Twitter feed and check the news, it could be worse for y'all
Be thankful for the bread that's inside your body, brother, first of all
It was 3 A.M. in the morning when murder called
Phone ring from my other brother saying we lost our dog
I just lost both of my parents, brother, knock it off
I felt my mind finna go numb tryna block it off
The grief had you tryna wiggle through a lot of thoughts
Like you would've been good if I was there but I dropped the ball
Like I could change the situation for the better
Instead of it being a hole inside of me forever
I'm hanging onto all of the memories that we treasured
Brother, in your memory, I've been outside applying pressure
And been a living proof
That you can win by living in your truth
Make up your mind and make the decision to
We really need you down here, bro, we missing you
Just wish I could've given you

[Chorus]
A chance to live, a chance to thrive (A chance to thrive)
A chance to be all that you could be in this life (In this life)
A chance to glow, a chance to grow
A chance to reach your potential (Ooh)
If they told me this was the end (This was the end)
I'm grateful for the life I lived (For the life I lived)
If they told me this was the end (This was the end, oh-oh)
I'm grateful for the life I lived (I'm grateful for the life I lived)

[Outro]
Thankful for the life I lived
I won't complain at all, I won't complain (I won't complain)
