Grateful Lyrics by Dyanthus

2016

[spoken intro]
Yo, sometimes we just don't appreciate the spoken people in our lives enough, you know?
And this song goes out to all those people

I take everything for granted
Everything that exists on the planet
I have a tendency to leave things stranded
My entire perspective is becoming slanted
I can't stand it, I feel like the world revolves around me
I need to find a way to resolve this greed
I need to focus more on all that I need
Think about my family, call them and see them
A whole lot more
Put them in the light so they can be adored
Keep in mind all the veterans that fought in a war
Who had had to undergo all the violence and gore
I don't need more, I just need to show love
Appreciation's what I'm thinking of
I need to think different, I need to change
Start giving more homeless people more spare change

[Chorus]
I need to be grateful, I'm more than able
I'll be grateful for the ones who put the food on the table
I don't have a nice car and I don't got no cable
Nonetheless all those materials just seem like a fable

My mom works everyday nine to five
She makes enough so we can barely get by
Sometimes she breaks down and starts to cry
It saddens me but honestly I know why
I can't lie, I'm fucking lazy
Our situation drives my mom crazy
While she's out making sure we have something to eat
All I do is sit at home making beats
This shit makes me feel like a jerk
It's time for me to get up and find some work
So I can help my mother every step of the way
Maybe even give her something for Mother's Day
I look for a job, no one wants to hire
So I guess I'll stay here spitting fire
Instead of bitching about the way I live
I should thank my mom for everything she gives

[Chorus]
I need to be grateful, I'm more than able
I'll be grateful for the ones who put the food on the table
I don't have a nice car and I don't got no cable
Nonetheless all those materials just seem like a fable

[Bridge]
My life is not that terrible, I don't know why I'm sad
My mama gave me everything, yo I couldn't be more glad
I'd give the same amount of love, respect, and gratitude to my dad
But he cowardly just walked away when things began to look bad

My life is not that terrible, I don't know why I'm sad
My mama gave me everything, yo I couldn't be more glad
I'd give the same amount of love, respect, and gratitude to my dad
But he cowardly just walked away when things began to look bad

[Chorus]
I need to be grateful, I'm more than able
I'll be grateful for the ones who put the food on the table
I don't have a nice car and I don't got no cable
Nonetheless all those materials just seem like a fable

[spoken outro]
Real talk, bein greedy, takin' advantage of everything around us will get us nowhere. Gotta always be showin' that gratitude. Show nothin' but love. Hah, I'm out
