Shaun "Witness" Woods - Grateful lyrics

1st verse I know how the bottom feel Saint Louis on Player's Club tryna find a dollar bill Head of the household but can't provide a meal Phonies you thought was homies turn to David Copperfield Tired of copping product to sell refuse to rob and steal Point of despair I decide to kneel and pray I tried everything else figured I might as well When that prayer was answered I realized that God is real Yeah homey I know that stress I don't mean ethnicity when I talk about black flesh Shot gats been shot at could've had a cracked chest Mama could've been crying over me in a black dress But I made it through it all I ain't got a scratch yet You'd be doing what i'm doing too if you we're that blessed I pray stay sanctified rebuke the flesh Keep a pure heart and let the Lord God do the rest I'm grateful Chorus Grateful, grateful, grateful to you (2xs) 2nd verse When you're surrounded by lust pain sinfulness Plus deception its kind of hard to remain innocent The best and worst things happened to me already Crazy thing is they were the same incidents Just trying to give but no one gives me a try They refuse to lend me their time but they choose to envy They hoped that I'd die in a foolish ending All that did was wake up the Lion of Judah in me It takes a weak link for a chain to be broken Like it takes a loved one for that pain to be potent In spite of it all, still gotta remain to be posted I took your best shot still maintaining and holding it down Devil I pray to God that this offends you Im cut from a different cloth model thats discontinued This is when new life gets within you And right gets embedded and Christ gets the credit Im grateful Repeat Chorus
