Grateful Lyrics

You can count blessings or count troubles

and what you give your energy will grow

You can take my word or disregard the things

I have to say and then go off and learn them on your own

And those days will still go by the same for me

If you wanna go see hell yourself

It's not a problem if you won't listen to logic

Just remember I'll remember you don't need my help

And that's a cold grave now through my old age

You can bet I won't await your return

Unh unh Unh unh

No hate just know that there's no way

I could wager what I have to preserve

And I been thinking value is only good as the gratitude for it

And you been missing that since way back when

Now I don't get surprised

I know it's a waste of time

And there's only so long to live

Only one way in

And one way out

And I ain't got shit to prove

I'ma go way up

Then I'll come back down

Cause that's the way that nature do

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

For every day I see the sun

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

Cause I know that the rain will come

I can feel fate often looking my way

With an impatient face

Like "how long this gon' take?"

Well pardon my tardiness my target ain't haste

And the heart in my art will disregard if I'm late

So, if it's a question of whether to count the seconds

And you'd love some disappointment then you can head that direction

See, I'm invested in happiness and protect it

And only death is predestined and it won't need your acceptance

No exceptions

Bend or break in the rules

Excuses that you could use to keep it from coming true

Can't rummage through the subterfuge and get out clean

Life intervenes find inner peace a giant leap

Quiet please take a breath let it marinate

Paradise ain't a pair of dice if you need it paraphrased

Compare'n plates or are we making the food

Teaching and learning

Two things I'm happy to do

Only one way in

And one way out

And I ain't got shit to prove

I'ma go way up

Then I'll come back down

Cause that's the way that nature do

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

For every day I see the sun

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

Cause I know that the rain will come

Paying no mind to the manner that they move

Would damage my view when standing in their shoes

So manning my two only planning that I do

Where everything I choose solidifies my truth

Cause nothing could make em love me like honesty in the mirror

The more I can see me clearly the more you could see me clearer

And keeping up appearance makes everyday Halloween

Don't want to see a disguise out masquerading as me

Lonely ego and pride a throne that I'll never need

A crown that I wouldn't wear if it was made for a king

A kingdom I felt akin but cavalier in decree

A catalyst killed the average til action was how we speak

Speed up

Cause they jog how you run

Or slow down

Not all fate's in a rush

To be great just be grateful

Give love where your loved

Have faith and be patient

Your pace is enough

Only one way in

And one way out

And I ain't got shit to prove

I'ma go way up

Then I'll come back down

Cause that's the way that nature do

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

For every day I see the sun

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

Cause I know that the rain will come

Only one way in

And one way out

And I ain't got shit to prove

I'ma go way up

Then I'll come back down

Cause that's the way that nature do

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

For every day I see the sun

And I'ma stay grateful

Grateful

Cause I know that the rain will come
