Grateful

Yeah
Hey, hey

I lost too many niggas once I changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck, started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like I'm not supposed to have this shit
But I stay grateful
I stay grateful
I stay grateful
I stay grateful

Co-defense, oh my God, I'm lit (shit)
Fourth offense, fuck is one more hit?
Mama called me late last night and told me, money ain't as thick
So that last one was for car insurance, this one for her rent
I got tired of fucking with you so I left that
And now you say I changed just to get a text back
Told us wе ain't belong there, and I rеspect that
So I bought three homes there, I stepped my trespass up
And now my baby cousin call my phone to prove that she know me
Don't be talking all that gang shit if we used to be homies
I let you burn my name up, while I compete with the mirror
Now look, I'm everything that you said you would be in a year
I stayed strong

Look through the history
My daddy died holding my hand, he made a fist for me
I almost lost my mom this year, this shit could get to me
I missed a hundred opps but still pocket another century

I lost too many niggas once I changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck, started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like I'm not supposed to have this shit
But I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)

I lost my best friend in that fire, I been faking like she here with me
My auntie on my lock screen, I been faking like it's therapy
I'm barely teen, burying my seven year old cousin
Leekie lost his everything and still he tried keep me covered
Heard them shots barking, no Glock-safety, the slide jammed
They won't drop charges, I dropped weight, shit, I dropped fans
I think the hardest part when you realize it's not planned
I know I'm 'posed to leave my faith up to God, but goddamn
How I got stuck inside a jail? I'm barely eating or thinking
Waiting 'til they set the bail, I had to sleep on my sneakers
I pray that nothing could tempt me, won't let nothing convince me
These crooked fucking lawyers tryna turn my brother against me
I stayed strong, I get the lonely doubt
I lost my other aunt on my birthday, I kicked my homies out
I barely even speak to my siblings, feel like the only child
Watching how the ones who lift me up ain't never hold me down

I lost too many niggas once I changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck, started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like I'm not supposed to have this shit
But I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)

I lost too many niggas once I changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck, started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like I'm not meant to be havin' it
But I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)
I stay grateful (grateful)

I stay grateful
I stay grateful
I stay grateful
Lost too many, yeah
My luck, started to blame myself (grateful, yeah)
