"Funks Interlude / Grateful" lyrics

(Reece, take 'em to church)

Perfect timing, seem like I'm too late
We should celebrate that I didn't break
The eighteen-year deal that I didn't take
Look, I promise God money equals faith
Touchdown, this is not a score
This has to do with God, it's something more
Renewing of the mind, strengthen my core
Get out of prison, hit 'em up, I'm Tupac Shakur
A martyr blood and seed, it's bound to be more
The enemies you see today, you'll see 'em no more
Raji had a dream that we goin' on tour
Couldn't wait, look what you left me before
The spirit of the Lord is on me, I preach to the poor
If they hate you, then they relate and it's strikin' a chord
A million women want me, send me Nia Moore
Lord knows I been a stepper since Diadora
The real Gusto, these other niggas CB4
The YC council for enterin' war
Perhaps that's a perspective that you should explore
I bought my father business, you niggas is chores
This my first fruits, I gotta thank You, Lord
'Cause I just had life, nigga, Ray and Claude
They told me life a bitch, I studied abroad
Impressed I never told, not even a fraud

For all them nights that I was down on my knees and out, I felt too low, yeah
For all them times I had to battle through them dark days and did it on my own
Even when I couldn't feel the dark days on me
I say a prayer, please send a blessing for me
And let 'em rain out of the heavens for me
Oh (Rain out of the heavens for me)

I don't want too much, yeah
I just pray that You watch over me

I don't want too— too
I just pray that You watch over— watch over me
I don't want too much
I just pray that You watch over me— watch

You have made it so that our lungs breathe, our hearts beat, our bodies move one after the other
Give us what we need only as we can hold it
And as we make space for more (For more)
For better, for what is necessary
Remind us that change is not something we do (Change is not something we do)
But rather something we are

Still, I find ways to be grateful, yeah, yeah
I know that things could be worse for me, they could be worse for me
Still, I find ways to be grateful, oh, yeah
I know that things could be worse for me, oh (Ayy, look, ayy)

Look around, it could be worse, settle down, yeah
Gotta find a way to keep a level head 'til you level out, yeah
Dug deep inside myself, look what I shoveled out, yeah
I know the odds against me, I doubled down, ayy
I feel 'em clinging, yeah, I gotta free it, ooh
I visualized inside my mind, I gotta see it through
I pray for guidance, I ask God like what I need to do?
I try to have faith, but it be times where I just need some proof
Yeah
I was meditatin' and the voice in my head said, "Brother, I'm curious
How could you think that you'd be above something that we all experience?
Lately, the days been takin' your joy away, what made you so serious?
God can't penetrate through the noise, brother, that's why you ain't been hearin' Him"
But if I'm honest, it's bittersweet, I swear
When you wanna share your blessings with somebody that ain't there
That's why they treat your grief brief, after a minute, they don't care
After a minute, you'll be right back all alone with your tears, yeah

Still, I find ways to be grateful, yeah, yeah (Ayy, listen to your heart, not your ears)
I know that things could be worse for me, they could be worse for me
Still, I find ways to be grateful, oh, yeah
I know that things could be worse for me, oh
Still, I find ways to be grateful, yeah, yeah (Grateful)
I know that things could be worse for me, they could be worse for me
Still, I find ways to be grateful, oh, yeah (Grateful)
I know that things could be worse for me, oh
