Grateful (feat. Essence Simmons)

I'm tired of being broke I make a stack and a half every couple weeks but I look at my check like where it go Pay Uncle Sam and a couple bills and then it's gone Oh I forgot the bank fees yeah we were overdrawn No lunch packed for the nine to five so my stomach groans And we behind in rent and never paid on student loans Credit card company calling me blowing up my phone My pockets empty I'm feeling poor my wife say I'm wrong She say we struggling, because we been robbing the Lord What? is He keeping score what He need money for I utter poverty she tell me that I'm tripping If we rich then why we eligible for assistance If we rich then why we eating at the soup kitchen I wish were rich maybe life would be different Remember, when things were more simple Maybe money management is our issue, maybe Maybe I need to hit a lick Maybe I need another job Maybe I should just up and quit Maybe it's just too much to solve Maybe I need to hit a lick Maybe I need another job Maybe I should just up and quit Maybe it's just too much to solve Maybe I need to hit a lick Maybe I need another job Maybe I should just up and quit Maybe it's just too much to solve Maybe I need to hit a lick Maybe I need another job Maybe I should just up and quit Maybe it's just too much to solve I'm blessed to have a steady cash flow I make a stack and a half every couple weeks I should be glad bro That's more payola I've ever made in my past bro My God is higher than my problems they won't last bro This aint a game aint Milton Bradley or Hasbro Roof over my head and a bed to lay my back on I can still call Him if my phone was disconnected It's never neglected it was his son who gave the credit He bless me with everything I have so I'm indebted The world is His never forget it You would think my knee was twisted the way the boy was tripping We resting in Christ's hands that's what I call riches That's what I call wealthy and my family healthy Got saved by the cross not the bell no Mr. Belding Remember, when things were more simple Maybe ungratefulness was my issue, maybe Maybe I should just stop and think all things brought He brought me through My life could be gone in a blink Without a voice to bring to you Maybe I should just stop and think all things brought He brought me through My life could be gone in a blink Without a voice to bring to you Maybe I should just stop and think all things brought He brought me through My life could be gone in a blink Without a voice to bring to you Maybe I should just stop and think (Maybe I, Maybe I) all things brought He brought me through (Should think about the things you brought me through) My life could be gone in a blink (Maybe I, Maybe I) Without a voice to bring to you (Should think about the things you brought me through) Maybe I should think about all the things you done for me How far you brought me you sent your son for me Maybe I should think about where I could have been should have been But you're my friend and you shed your smile on me
