Grateful

You can count blessings or count troubles and what you give your energy will grow You can take my word or disregard the things I have to say and then go off and learn them on your own And those days will still go by the same for me If you wanna go see hell yourself It's not a problem if you won't listen to logic Just remember I'll remember you don't need my help And that's a cold grave now through my old age You can bet I won't await your return Unh unh Unh unh No hate just know that there's no way I could wager what I have to preserve And I been thinking value is only good as the gratitude for it And you been missing that since way back when Now I don't get surprised I know it's a waste of time And there's only so long to live Only one way in And one way out And I ain't got shit to prove I'ma go way up Then I'll come back down Cause that's the way that nature do And I'ma stay grateful Grateful For every day I see the sun And I'ma stay grateful Grateful Cause I know that the rain will come I can feel fate often looking my way With an impatient face Like "how long this gon' take?" Well pardon my tardiness my target ain't haste And the heart in my art will disregard if I'm late So, if it's a question of whether to count the seconds And you'd love some disappointment then you can head that direction See, I'm invested in happiness and protect it And only death is predestined and it won't need your acceptance No exceptions Bend or break in the rules Excuses that you could use to keep it from coming true Can't rummage through the subterfuge and get out clean Life intervenes find inner peace a giant leap Quiet please take a breath let it marinate Paradise ain't a pair of dice if you need it paraphrased Compare'n plates or are we making the food Teaching and learning Two things I'm happy to do Only one way in And one way out And I ain't got shit to prove I'ma go way up Then I'll come back down Cause that's the way that nature do And I'ma stay grateful Grateful For every day I see the sun And I'ma stay grateful Grateful Cause I know that the rain will come Paying no mind to the manner that they move Would damage my view when standing in their shoes So manning my two only planning that I do Where everything I choose solidifies my truth Cause nothing could make em love me like honesty in the mirror The more I can see me clearly the more you could see me clearer And keeping up appearance makes everyday Halloween Don't want to see a disguise out masquerading as me Lonely ego and pride a throne that I'll never need A crown that I wouldn't wear if it was made for a king A kingdom I felt akin but cavalier in decree A catalyst killed the average til action was how we speak Speed up Cause they jog how you run Or slow down Not all fate's in a rush To be great just be grateful Give love where your loved Have faith and be patient Your pace is enough Only one way in And one way out And I ain't got shit to prove I'ma go way up Then I'll come back down Cause that's the way that nature do And I'ma stay grateful Grateful For every day I see the sun And I'ma stay grateful Grateful Cause I know that the rain will come Only one way in And one way out And I ain't got shit to prove I'ma go way up Then I'll come back down Cause that's the way that nature do And I'ma stay grateful Grateful For every day I see the sun And I'ma stay grateful Grateful Cause I know that the rain will come
