Kid Rated R - Grateful lyrics

[Intro] So grateful So thankful [Verse] I think different I think outside of how everybody's thinkin' Never ride waves so I float while they sinkin' While they takin' dives I be out somewhere leapin' Synchronized, breast stroke, doin' laps around the deep end Feels like that when there's nowhere to put your feet in Kick off the bottom, head high, for the breathin' Pray I don't drown , that's word to the lifeguard on the high seat and My dog's paddlin', A.K.A. dealin' New whip, drop ceilin', every time that we see em' Symbolizin' hope, give us something to believe in We just wanna see em' ball even if only for a season Til you caught', L-I-F-E-in' That's time you receivin' for the time you was eatin' Open eyes, no sleepin', when your mind's street dreamin' Minus the factor, ain't no pleadin' Plus, we are not equals, accordingly They throw the book at you, can't afford it to read Shout out to the O.G.'s that showed it to me These the code of the streets, that I'm showin' you for free You can never take back what you didn't say, (nah) But it usually sticks fact if they get a taped It's Curtis caught em' with the blow, these are the breaks He's twenty-one, they gave him twenty five just today His girl in trouble too cause she gave him a place to stay And now the Government is tryna' take her kids away She say it's like a damn F.M.L. giveaway And everybody's winnin' even if they didn't play My grandma wouldn't leave the house if she didn't pray And sun wouldn't shine as bright if it didn't rain Went from a three to thirteen, word to Lil' Dave Told me he finally found God, now he gettin' saved That's a smile amongst all of the damn cryin' Defending in the trial, amongst all this damn lyin' If everybody's broke, why you out glam buyin' To be a damn steak around all these damn lions A lot of damn dyin', the toll number's big My patna got k**ed over something that his brother did My boy, lost his baby son, he don't want another kid Say he's scared to d**h, he think it's cause of all the stuff he did My little cousin's gettin' big, I hold him close y'all I still get bad dreams of when they tried to ghost R The bullet almost hit my face, it bounced off both walls Never mind long distance, that was a close call These real life bars, nothin' fabricated My girl can't get no good job and she graduated That's why I go hard, son I gotta make it These things are on my mind daily I just had to say it [Bridge] Our lives, live it fast, lot of family done pa**ed So they locked in the trap, for the times that we had I'm so grateful, could be dead So I'm so thankful (I'm so thankful) Every mornin' that I wake, yeah I pray for the strength Gotta make it through the day, high stress, low pay I'm so grateful, it could be worse So I'm so thankful (I'm so thankful) [Chorus] I'm so grateful, (I'm so) thankful, (I'm so) Grateful, (I'm so) thankful, it gets tough But we'll never break though (so what) This is what we're made for, I'm so Grateful (I'm so) thankful (I'm so) Grateful (I'm so) thankful, it gets tough But we'll never break though (so what) This is what we're made for [Bridge 2] Thankful Grateful, thankful Lives live it fast, family done pa**ed Or they locked in the trap (trap, trap) [Verse] My Uncle Alvaro just died of cancer, he showed nothin', but love to me Two sons in Heaven already there to keep him company But they was like brothers to me, so that made me cry, when Desi died It was back in the nineties right, but it still f**s with me My Uncle Pancho pa**ed and didn't get the time or chance to see Junior grow Not even one years old and he's going to his Daddy's funeral Uncle Benny got life, don't write him as much as I should Honestly, I probably don't visit him as much as I could I got brothers locked for hustlin', some locked down for nothin' Conspiracy, you could get locked up for frontin' And the kids lose their Daddy, girlfriend chance of a husband Mother loses the son, it's more than just one that they cuffin, so we pray for em' Yeah, we pray for em...
