Reason Lyrics by Kateel

Innocence is Ignorance

2017

[Verse 1]
I remember them days I used to have to go to treatment
I had anger issues, me and someone else were always beefin’
Life at home was rough for me and I took it out on my teachers
I faced many demons, but I know it happened for a reason
I remember everyday when I was 6 and I was eatin’
Spaghettios in dirty bowls just ‘cause it was easy
In the other room my Mom was sleep, I was watchin’ TV
Barely ever saw her, but I know it happened for a reason
I had to move on, I moved in wit’ my Grandma on the beach
And since I didn’t learn in school she taught me how to write and read
And people used to call me white because of the way I was speakin’
I had to put up wit’ the teasin’, but it happened for a reason
I used to be a problem child and still my Grandma never beat me
She would keep me in her prayers and pray that I would come to see
That things will all end up okay if I just wait and keep believin’
She told me “Kateel, everything happens for a reason”

[Chorus]
Everything, everything, everything happens for a reason
Happens for a reason
Happens for a reason

[Verse 2]
I took it to heart and started livin’ by the message
I was waitin’ for the blessings knowing God was tryna test me
Family members got arrested
Movin’ houses every second
But I believed what she was sayin’, never did I second guess it
I remember all the stress and all the pain up in my chest
And the nights without no rest, but still makin’ the best of it
Knowin’ I was stressed and never did I express
I ain’t need nobodies help
I ain’t need nobodies suggestions
Things started to look up I knew that I had to grow up
I didn’t know who I could trust so my own advice was enough
I remember when I was young I had to pack up all my stuff
One second I’m at Momma’s, next second I’m in the cut
I remember in that fire Momma came and woke me up
She picked me up from out my bed
She had my back no matter what
I was scared to lose the house, I ain’t wanna give it up
I seen the neighbors dog die, he was only just a pup, but

[Chorus]
Everything, everything, everything happens for a reason
Happens for a reason
Happens for a reason

[Verse 3]
I was turnin’ into a man when I was only just a youngin’
I had to learn how to be happy without comfortable money
I couldn’t go to the store and buy everything that I wanted
But I kept it positive and I think I learned a lot from it
Now the money doesn’t stress me, God really blessed me
He just had to test me to turn me into the best me
It got a little messy so I went and got the messed cleaned
Now I always dress clean, now I struggle with less things
Now I feel respectable, educated, and ethical
Finally things are accessible, life is almost acceptable
But I gotta keep workin’ ’cause I know that they still skeptical
I be gettin’ obsessional over being professional
I’m not easily impress-able, not easily accessible
When it comes to myself I tend be very correctional
My life is unforgettable, my struggle was incredible
And little did I know the terrible things were intentional ‘cause

[Chorus]
Everything, everything, everything happens for a reason
Happens for a reason
Happens for a reason
Everything, everything, everything happens for a reason
Happens for a reason
Happens for a reason
