Grateful Lyrics by Arrested Development

Bullets In The Chamber (Deluxe Edition)

0

I'm grateful
Uh
Can you turn me up a bit
Just the vocal
One day I was walking with this nice white girl
I'll never forget our vision was day and night about the world
Her perspective was so light
No constant plight for her
I wasn't intrigued she knew the future would be bright for her
She wasn't at all scared about what might occur
She knew evil was around but something mightier
Had her back, the privileges of being white
So white of her
Anywhere she traveled thеre was little that would stifle hеr
But that wasn't me
My melanin made me criminal with felonies
My history was so violent, embarrassing
I'll never for get Roots coming on tv
None of us knew where we came from or anything
We would all watch Happy Days with Evel Knieve Vel
Republicans today would go back to this scene
That's why they hate the words woke and CRT
As if ninety nine percent of em know what it means
I know what it means
It means I can't rely on human beings
It means I must go higher than
Brutal beatings
Til my eulogy
It's l i f and e

I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I put my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life

And ya know I'm like
Trying to keep my wife cool as a cucumber
Hot flashes
Where every summer's a hot girl summer
No wonder she don't ride w stallions or rock with minaj's
Rocks with Black Queens that gleam without diamonds
New days and new ways
I surrender
Release the chains on me
God please enter
Cuz most people are California sober weeds and drinks only
Satan don't control me
Hustling with hustlers everyones a customer
Step by step to some the only crystal clear is crystal meth
Sometimes the only thing that's dear is taking a breath
Some trying to take a right but making a left
The life once in it is hard to get out
The best is not to get in, in the first place
Innocence
So I salute you if you did it
But I'm militant, I shine like a filament

I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I Pput my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I put my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life

I'm giggity grateful for my life, my wife the price
She paid the sacrifice the fights the nights
I made my bed I laid my head
I'm nice
I rolled the dice
I hit
My lick was the lights yeah
I'm One of the stars
Like Bruno and Mars yeah
I'm fasting from broads
With emotional scars yeah
From stashin them jars
To crashing them cars
I waited
You hate it
I made it this far
From these mics and my bars yeah
From the bottom now we busting out the roof
Im breaking bread just like these white folks break a truce
I'm so thankful that he blessed me with the juice
Make no excuse
Put it to use
I'm rejoicing, lift my voice
I'm living proof
My family fed but it's like my head still in a noose
I've been misled cause what I read was not the truth
Don't act aloof
Get in the booth

I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I put my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
