Substantial - Grateful lyrics

HOOK (Kokayi) Hey, if somehow I find a way Just to make through today I will say that I'm so grateful If I die before the break of day There is nothing more to say But for the time we've shared, I'm so grateful Verse 1 (Kenn Starr) I re-emerge back from the ashes Born again back from the past tense Sorta like The Pa**ion, the backlash from them back lashes Our future and our present and past sins wrapped in A sacrifice, askin' myself if I'm rappin' For the right reasons, scared cuz it seems if A lifetime dream might be just for season If that's the case then how am I 'sposed to leave it Believe that I could do this forever and a day But to God man forever is a day So I'm set up either way Tryna find answers Yeah a n***a pray, wondering if mine answered Like gettin' a catscan and hopin' that they don't find cancer I'm hopin' that all my fans stand up Show me your support and tell me you still listen Lemme know if its cool to keep it real for a minute Let's build for a minute can anybody relate to Being in the game strugglin' to stay faithful Not to a lover or a significant other But the morals instilled when you was lil' from your mother But still it's a mother navigating through an industry Infatuated with hatin' and friends turn to enemies Saturated with the temptation to take a turn towards Chasin' the fame and admiration ain't tryna burn for it HOOK Verse 2 (Substantial) When my last experience has been acquired And I arrive at the date I will expire I hope I am surrounded by extraordinary folks that I admire And hopefully a few that I've inspired Nothing here is certain, except the show must end and they'll eventually close the curtain But will my life be worthy of an encore Or standing ovation, man I'm so gracious Even though I put in more work than job core Walking the line between heartfelt and hardcore Transforming pages into little paper Concordes So I can travel the sky before I live in it No regrets y'all if my all's what I'm giving in it This song ain't about what I should've did different Just appreciatin' each moment up to this minute This Kick, this Snare, this Bar I'm ecstatic that I've made it this far, this heart Could've cease to beat and I would hardly be seizing beats Or even see my seed or greet peeps with "Peace" I would rest in it, that's a definite And my goal's to never quit 'til I'm a resident Of a casket or better yet an earn The sun will shine forever while you burn baby burn Last words to my daughter would be learn baby learn And make your mark Can't break your spirit even though they might break your heart! HOOK OUTRO (Substantial) Dedicated to our family and friends To our worldwide supporters and fans Just had to take time to say that... (Kokayi) I'm so grateful!
