So Grateful

[Intro]
I’m so grateful
Be glad for what you got
Feel me

[Verse 1]
Got a lot to be grateful for
But it’s never nothing wrong with wanting a little more
Can’t build and stack clout by taking the back route
Eliminating that doubt’s the only way to max out
When you young, you got the heart of a lion
And you execute the dreams with every part of you tryin’
That’s the truth, belief and confidence through the roof
And you always feel like your plans are bulletproof
But things ain’t all smooth, I hate to inform you
Disappointments come and time wears on you
Then you start to realize the tournament’s long
And the flame that you once had ain’t burning as strong
Now the prize that you’re chasing is harder to see
‘Cause the goal wasn’t easy as you thought it would be
You accomplished a few things while traveling the road
So be mindful of your come-ups and thankful for those

[Chorus]
Uh, nah, I ain’t ridin’ in a fancy whip
And my clothes don’t cost a grip
Sometimes I barely got enough to pay
But see God woke me up today
And if the people never understand me
It’s all good, at least I got my family
See the world how you choose, I won’t debate you
But ain’t no question ‘bout mine, I’m so grateful

[Verse 2]
Your reward is on the way because you gave a lot
It ain’t about tryna match what your neighbor got
Gettin’ yours, that should be the only stipulation
Don’t base your life off another person’s situation
Yeah I know you see bad people who straight bubblin’
And you doin’ everything right and still strugglin’
Temptation’s a fast pass to live lavish
Blatant disregard for how good that you really have it
Once you let greed creep up in you, it breaks the fabric
And it’s hard for that piece to be reestablished
You lost sight of the type of life that was right for you
And feeling like there’s certain things in life that you’re entitled to
I mighta knew better if I followed the principle
That success comes from doing what you’re meant to do
Still complaining and wishing that better days hit ya
When it’s a lot who less fortunate that would trade with ya

[Chorus]
Uh, nah, I ain’t ridin’ in a fancy whip
And my clothes don’t cost a grip
Sometimes I barely got enough to pay
But see God woke me up today
And if the people never understand me
It’s all good, at least I got my family
See the world how you choose, I won’t debate you
But ain’t no question ‘bout mine, I’m so grateful

[Verse 3]
Helping somebody’s like planting a seed
You gotta be willing to give even when you in need
Don’t wish for life to change like it magically will
You gotta start where you at now and gradually build
An envious heart can’t hide, it’s easy to spot it
Don’t focus on what he got, find out how he got it
Asking why him and not you, that left you shook
Use that energy to figure out the steps he took
When you frownin’ on what you got, hateful and mad
Imagine if you lost the so-called little you had
Appreciation would come fast when things get thin
And you’ll be praying like crazy just to have it again
Bad thoughts breed tough times when forced a lot
Am I where I wanna be in life? Of course I’m not
I don’t bathe in the bad, I endorse the good
‘Cause could my situation be worse? Of course it could
So see

[Chorus]
Uh, nah, I ain’t ridin’ in a fancy whip
And my clothes don’t cost a grip
Sometimes I barely got enough to pay
But see God woke me up today
And if the people never understand me
It’s all good, at least I got my family
See the world how you choose, I won’t debate you
But ain’t no question ‘bout mine, I’m so grateful
