Good & Bad

You know I wake up every morning Reflecting on everything Where I've been, where I'm at I pray for where I'm about to go Plenty highs and lows but How can I be anything but grateful, you know? It's Jafet Grateful for the good Grinding through the bad I done made it out the hood Rolled through punches, threw some jabs Used to wish upon a star For a pocket full of cash Used to doubt a nigga wood Now mahogany the dash Grateful for the good Grinding through the bad I done made it out the hood Rolled through punches, threw some jabs Used to wish upon a star For a pocket full of cash Used to doubt a nigga wood Now mahogany the dash Married to the game I was groomed for this Nina near and dear to me We attached to the hip The best man won I'm Damerkys son Bought an iron for the ops Put a hole in one They ain't up to par I'm really setting the bar Nothing about me tender Battle wounds n scars Some people learn the hard way Im guilty as charged When people came and left I still remained a boss It ain't a loss to know the solid from the phony Crazy how I built a home and lost a lot of homies Crazy how I leveled up without changing the story 12th floor city projects and I never let it floor me (all you rappers really bore me) All these wanna be Oscar nominees Acting like they know pain I'm an OG from the ave spitting free game They say I changed cause I got a bigger chain Wide body switching lanes I'm just on to bigger thangs man Like growing pains I'm just on to bigger thangs And every joint on point So would you please say the name? Come on Grateful for the good Grinding through the bad I done made it out the hood Rolled through punches, threw some jabs Used to wish upon a star For a pocket full of cash Used to doubt a nigga wood Now mahogany the dash Grateful for the good Grinding through the bad I done made it out the hood Rolled through punches, threw some jabs Used to wish upon a star For a pocket full of cash Used to doubt a nigga wood Now mahogany the dash Still recall the days in Brooklyn I was on my way to school On the metro or the J train Bumpin that Carter 2 Had me feeling like the man when I stepped in any room Need my money on demand When I show up pay per view Classy nigga in a G class How you like me now? Handing out cans of whoop ass Like it's out of style My past will give you whiplash I can go for miles But all smiles when I go to banks Racks in piles, taxes, files Won't give a statement- ask, denial Blow the trial you niggas more square than tile Married to the game you should've seen us walk the isle F*ck the world without protection I'm expecting child Running laps ain't break a sweat yet F*ck these royalties and blue checks I just spent a new check on some blue pradas Dwayne Johnson Dwayne Carter Long way from home wreck and rock bottom Can't tell me nada All about a dollar and some gun powder That mean money I musket Walked out in Boston with an iced collar And these pedestrians upset Grateful for the good Grinding through the bad I done made it out the hood Rolled through punches, threw some jabs Used to wish upon a star For a pocket full of cash Used to doubt a nigga wood Now mahogany the dash Grateful for the good Grinding through the bad I done made it out the hood Rolled through punches, threw some jabs Used to wish upon a star For a pocket full of cash Used to doubt a nigga wood Now mahogany the dash Not too bad or too shabby huh Long way from blue Camry huh From the gram to the Grammys I did it all for the family Grateful for the good Grinding through the bad I made it out the hood I know these niggas mad Deal with it It's Jafet Please tell me what you gone tell me Momma sent Jozie to bail me In my own Lexus so reckless You ain't touching this here necklace Eating rappers part of my complete breakfast Got my OJ, hard boiled egg, plenty bread At least 20 vitamins and minerals in this bitch Jafet no myth I really live this Went from the projects to homeless, Brooklyn apartments Staying with my aunt sleeping on the carpets I mean What you gone tell me for real?Forever grateful It's all thanks to the man above Love
