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
