I Am Grateful Lyrics

I am grateful, thankful

I am grateful, thankful

I am, I am, I am, I am

I earned a master degree

And my greatest professors my mom's and pop's

Mom's coach my heart, taught me compassion

And passion through reciting psalms

She said when you feel lost, look up to the stars

That's where you belong, you a Godsend

Sent by the Gods

And my pops coached my mind, always make sure your sons shine

Intellect intertwined with the luck and the might

We fall and we rise, watch your front, watch your sides

Got your back day and night

Caras vemos, corazones no sabemos

Mantente al tiro, siempre firme, siempre listo

Spend time with your family, balance of duality

Sacrifice to advance the position of your seeds

Step by step, on how to cultivate your dreams

You can't give them what you didn't have, tell them what you didn't know

Innovative information to pass along

Soul purpose for every generation to evolve

Gratitude is present when the fear is gone

Everything is manifestation with a clear heart

Stay centered navigation, keep my faith in God

Avenues that I've taken never steer me wrong

I'm grateful, yeah

I'm thankful, yeah

I had to go this route

I had to go this route

I'm grateful, yeah

I'm thankful, yeah

I had to go this route

I had to go this route

Harvest of heart, coach my heart, my mom's taught me

The art of empathy, how to plant water seeds

Every flower represents a being

Yerba buena when we not feeling too good

Take only what you need, sustain the whole hood

Pop's said always keep your composure, no exposure

Never let no one outside the family know your thoughts

Master your mind and move like a boss

I am grateful for the pain and the failures

I'm grateful for the joy and the adventures

Let me tell you, I'm a high school force out

Adult school walkout baby on the way, low wage pay

So I clocked out a 30 year young UC graduate

I was 33 when I earned my master's degree

My parents taught me to love myself

In Lak'ech wisdom of self

I'm grateful for this journey, had to go this route

As above, so below, so within, so without

It wasn't pain, it was love that bailed me out

I'm grateful, yeah

I'm thankful, yeah

I had to go this route

I had to go this route

I'm grateful, yeah

I'm thankful, yeah

I had to go this route

I had to go this route

Grateful, I am, thankful, I am

Grateful, I am, grateful

Grateful, I am, thankful, I am

Grateful, I am, grateful
