Shaun "Witness" Woods - Grateful [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

1st verse

I know how the bottom feel
Saint Louis on Player's Club tryna find a dollar bill
Head of the household but can't provide a meal
Phonies you thought was homies turn to David Copperfield
Tired of copping product to sell refuse to rob and steal
Point of despair I decide to kneel and pray
I tried everything else figured I might as well
When that prayer was answered I realized that God is real
Yeah homey I know that stress
I don't mean ethnicity when I talk about black flesh
Shot gats been shot at could've had a cracked chest
Mama could've been crying over me in a black dress
But I made it through it all I ain't got a scratch yet
You'd be doing what i'm doing too if you we're that blessed
I pray stay sanctified rebuke the flesh
Keep a pure heart and let the Lord God do the rest I'm grateful

Chorus

Grateful, grateful, grateful to you (2xs)

2nd verse

When you're surrounded by lust pain sinfulness
Plus deception its kind of hard to remain innocent
The best and worst things happened to me already
Crazy thing is they were the same incidents
Just trying to give but no one gives me a try
They refuse to lend me their time but they choose to envy
They hoped that I'd die in a foolish ending
All that did was wake up the Lion of Judah in me
It takes a weak link for a chain to be broken
Like it takes a loved one for that pain to be potent
In spite of it all, still gotta remain to be posted
I took your best shot still maintaining and holding it down
Devil I pray to God that this offends you
Im cut from a different cloth model thats discontinued
This is when new life gets within you
And right gets embedded and Christ gets the credit
Im grateful

Repeat Chorus
