Grateful - Substantial, Kokayi, Kenn Starr

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 Passion, 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 nigga 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!
