nick rose - grateful lyrics

call me a sympathetic, never could begin to get it
how they live their lives without a shred of love to get ahead, but
ultimately, they’re moving backwards, i’m sitting gorgeous
gotta get to counting my blessings before they light their torches
burn down my house of cards and every item that i own
take my materials darling, you’ll never take my throne
still sitting high and mighty way above your petty greed
i built a life full of meaning and now the money bleeds
divided in smallеr streams, i hardly can call it green
last thing i’m worried ’bout is currency coming bеtween
my mission and my motivation, laziness has no relation
everything’s connected in this astral ocean, no one’s racing
no one’s winning, no one is playing god by its definition
manipulation of money, politics and religion
never took me by surprise, only in its scale and scope
crazy how i’m talking is where all these parents fail to go
it’s not a reach, it’s not a stretch, we live in conspiracies so enormous i whisper and see my ads refresh
i wake up knowing that every sentence is on the record
that’s why i dream and then every morning i’m doing better
that’s why i learn from my surroundings and recycle on wax
they want to call it a label, dont trip got no strings attached
we’re just a couple of brothers coming up one and the same
we’re laying down all this fire just to release all the pain
i put my dreams in a sequence, frequencies started to change
and now i ask myself + why did i never dance in the rain?
why did i never see the beauty in the glare of the sun?
why did i ask for permission, i went and made me the one
i wrote myself a new testament, locked it up in my drawer
they hit me asking for quotas on quotes, the ceiling’s the floor
the four agreements, it got me reading, unlearning the hate
soon after, burning an eighth was moderation
protecting my energy ‘cause i know its worth and they tryna take it
and i’m so grateful for everything you ever gave me

i wouldn’t be here if kendrick didn’t crown himself on bet
i was thirteen when he freestyled on my tv screen
from then i started my studies, pure curiosity
hoping to find some lightning in a bottle or a prophecy
i wouldn’t be here if my high school never let me rock
crowd surfing as a freshman, that sh+t can’t be topped
and all the kids who showed me love and played a song or two
who sent me videos from cars and parties bumping tunes
i wouldn’t be here if my exes didn’t leave me broken
somewhat reluctant to trust, but i’m here steady hoping
one day, my path just might intersect with a single soul
i’ll let the universe realign and i’ll let you know
i wouldn’t be here if my parents didn’t help every christmas, gifting me with equipment
hoping i use all my gifts and make a statement so rich that
it just pays off all the bills, i’m working momma, i promise i’m ’bout my business
i wouldn’t be here if the boys had never told me no
my brothers got me, we dont trip and it really shows
i wouldn’t be here if my fear had k!lled me long ago
i wouldn’t be here if i signed my name with x and o
i wouldn’t be here if i didn’t learn from then before
i couldn’t be here if i took revenge, the art of war
i shouldn’t be here ’cause i could’ve gave you so much more
but i’ll do everything i can to help this world and all my people ‘fore i’m gone
and maybe if we get a happy ending, we can make a movie, i’ll perfect the score
and i’m so grateful for everything you ever gave me
