Grateful - Marlon Craft

I been feelin grateful

For everybody that fronted on me

That stunted on me

That run up on me

Put love up on me

Said I just wan say thank you

For what they said that I couldn’t do

That I shouldn’t do

That I wouldn’t prove

I said «Look it dude, said I wouldn’t lose, I’m just grateful»

World all lookin shameful

They want me to hate you

But look at all of this, look at all of this here

Couldn’t pay you enough to thank you

And ain’t much in the bank too

But I been feelin grateful

I’m from where everyone wanna be hard

But only like 2 out 10 need to be

Everyone wanna be seen

Shit, til we change up scenery

Self-worth costs sweat

But to look at a screen is free

And I was gettin upset

But it ain’t set me up for shit lettin' up

Forget about it, I’m used to them doubtin'

My movement been routed

That light look green to me

Half the time these dudes only talk

And they more Charles Barkley than TNT

I’m less than half of where I want to be

I’m still half the shit that I dream to be

Ironic how both my fam and my foe always be leavin' me

Huh, get it?

It just depends on how you hear it

The ride depend on how you steer it

And they wanna sample my energy

But if we ain’t friends don’t have to clear them

Don’t have to cheer

My past is fear

I got food to eat and family round so anger, that’s just masked fear

I got too much love

To be bitter wit it, sittin' wit it

I gave too much fucks

Just to let them tame my spirit wit it

I been feeling grateful

For everybody that fronted on me

That stunted on me

That run up on me

Put love up on me

Said I just wan say thank you

For what they said that I couldn’t do

That I shouldn’t do

That I wouldn’t prove

I said «Look it dude, said I wouldn’t lose, I’m just grateful»

World all lookin shameful

They want me to hate you

But look at all of this, look at all of this here

Couldn’t pay you enough to thank you

And ain’t much in the bank too

But I been feeling grateful

Every L I take

Is a W, you ain’t found it’s other half

Take the negative times

And I end up up, that’s tougher math

They don’t want to live it, they just want the story

Fuck your allegations and your allegories

Fuck around and kill your whole category

My grammy love me, fuck a rapper war

See, I’m grateful for every enemy

That wanna see an end to me

Your girl just messaged me talkin bout she love my empathy

Can’t even walk and chew gum but yet still you move so Extra-ly

You just do your best you impression

Just try and increase your impressions

But you ain’t impressin we

Oh no, no, no

Type of bitter put the foe in the faux photo

I just keep my head up and move low, low, low

But shit, I see the you in me, I still need grow fo sho

I got too much love

To be bitter wit it, sittin' wit it

I gave too much fucks

Just to let them tame my spirit wit it

I been feeling grateful

For everybody that fronted on me

That stunted on me

That run up on me

Put love up on me

Said I just wan say thank you

For what they said that I couldn’t do

That I shouldn’t do

That I wouldn’t prove

I said «Lookit dude, said I wouldn’t lose, I’m just grateful»

World all lookin shameful

They want me to hate you

But look at all of this, look at all of this here

Couldn’t pay you enough to thank you

And ain’t much in the bank too

But I been feelin grateful
