Grateful Lyrics by DJ Hipsong

Grateful

2017

[Verse 1]
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here
The way you raised me was strict, I had fear
At least you cared, it was tough love
You made me so tough like boxing gloves;
Like a parent who had a kid that they loved
If they messed around, you say you've had enough
Bring discipline and to them it feels rough
But in the end, it's just tough love;
One of the things you implanted was to help myself
And so I did, most of the times I did ended well
Since I was young, I can mimick anything I saw
Anything I did was wrong, I was breaking your last straw
Was treated differently than my brother
I could've thought, "I wish I had a better mother"
If I did, I'm thinking like a damn idiot
You say without you I'm nothing, like so be it;

[Verse 2]
After all we've been through
Strict mother and son living in the same roof
Sneaky rodent tryna cheat his doom
Occupied, very busy in his own room
I never meant to avoid you, I'm rethinking my life choices to tell the truth
Since I graduated, I somehow disappointed you
I was building my own dreams, and I promise you
All the things you've done to me made me feel strong
Nowadays I'm acting up, wishing I could move on
I resent myself from rejecting the choices I've lost
For a shitty life I'm living right now except my art;
Despite it all, it's because of you I feel this way
How I behave, tough love, self-confidence today
To that I will say, just have a good day
And hope everything is okay

[Hook]
So strict but caring
The way you raised me
I'm never more grateful
So strict but caring
The way you raised me
I'm never more grateful in all my life
I'm never more grateful in all my life
I'm never more grateful in all my life
