M.Edison - 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
