Grateful Lyrics by Yan Mendes

2023

[Yan Mendes:]

[Intro]
Yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Bad thoughts made me blind but I see now
Peace and love in my mind is all I need now
Never give up, I gotta win now
I gotta stay up, I cannot sit down
Life is short and I don't wanna leave (no)
I almost died in this car but I'm here now
Today I'm grateful cause I breathe now
Today I'm grateful cause I live now

[Verse 1]
I'm grateful every day just to wake up on my bed yeah
Success is a journey, don't ask me ‘’are wе there yet’’?
Living to thе fullest, because I ain't dead yet
I don't sleep too much cause sleep is the cousin of death yeah
Now I gotta work (work) , no more day off (no)
And if I stay patient, everything will pay off
That's why every night I try to go in the studio
Even when my life can go crazy like a movie though
And lately I've been dealing with some negative thangs
My girl tried to take her own life and I was in pain
I didn't realize but I was going insane
With all this shit in my brain, do you see what I'm saying?

[Bridge]
So I stay grateful (yeah)
Control your mind, better be careful (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Try to stay grateful (yeah)
Control your mind, better be careful cause

[Chorus]
Bad thoughts made me blind but I see now
Peace and love in my mind is all I need now
Never give up, I gotta win now
I gotta stay up, I cannot sit down
Life is short and I don't wanna leave (no)
I almost died in this car but I'm here now
Today I'm grateful cause I breathe now
Today I'm grateful cause I live now

[Verse 2]
I know time is all I have, so I spend it on the right things
All I wanna do now is work on my dreams
It doesn't make sense when you talk about chance
If you want a better life it's all about change
Don't wait for the right time, it's the day today (ooouh)
Improve your mind, be better than yesterday (yeah sir)
If you procrastinate, then you're gonna waste the day (okay)
Enjoy every moment, it could be your last today (sheesh)
So what you wanna be ? You wanna be successful? (uh uh)
Don't believe everything you hear, be careful (be careful)
To make it to the top better work on mental (for real)
Cause when you overthink this shit is stressful (is stressful)

[Bridge]
So I stay grateful (yeah)
Control your mind, better be careful (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Try to stay grateful (yeah)
Control your mind, better be careful cause

[Chorus]
Bad thoughts made me blind but I see now
Peace and love in my mind is all I need now
Never give up, I gotta win now
I gotta stay up, I cannot sit down
Life is short and I don't wanna leave (no)
I almost died in this car but I'm here now
Today I'm grateful cause I breathe now
Today I'm grateful cause I live now

[Outro]
Yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah
