Gratitude (feat. The Hics)

Oh, broken homes and lonely souls is all they know

All they've shown is courage despite the circumstances

Time is passing by, stars command the sky

Don't play dumb by asking why

You already know how all the stories evolve

Came here on my own, feel that we leaving alone

Put my feet in the studio and call it my home

While others have got no way out

How blessed am I? (I)

Nothing left to find (Find)

Your life's on the line, don't question mine (Mine)

Take my advice, don't stress in life (Life)

Arms out to you, you can rest your head in mine

I'm prepared to fly (Fly)

With no landing (Landing)

I might just be the last one standing (Standing)

They should know that Simz ain't ramping (No I ain't)

I came to show there's more, I'm expanding

Still on my lonesome (Still on my lonesome)

Give a fuck, I'm chosen (Give a fuck, I'm chosen)

Bit of luck and a wish, maybe we'll get there

But for now, I'm zoning (For now, I'm zoning)

Somewhere in the air, I'm floating (I'm floating, floating, floating)

They will not control us (They will not control us)

This the type of shit that ain't never gonna sell

Man, you shouldn't have told us that

Nah, you shouldn't have

I'm crawling up these walls

But they won't come down

No, they won't come down

I'm tearing at the core

'Til their words drown out

'Til their words drown

Clawing at the heart, the trust

You take the little pieces covering up my soul

I'm just a fool in your game

My life, your prey

I ain't never had a chance to do what I love (Love)

Ain't nobody ever been encouraging me (Me)

I just stay indoors, wishing and dreaming

Maybe in another life, it will happen for me

I put all my energy into feeding my kids (Kids, kids)

Do they appreciate the sacrifice I made for 'em? (Do they, do they?)

No, their daddy ain't around and I have to make up excuses

As to why he hasn't yet came for 'em, oh Lord

Why did you pick me, Lord? (Lord)

What is it that you can see in me, Lord? (Lord)

I'ma write this down, somethin' to report ('Port)

No air in me, I'm learning to breathe more

How I feel insane, the effect is a glass ceiling

Do it 'cause I love it and not 'cause I'm tryna make a killing

Hell no, saying what I like, you can tell so (So, so)

And if there's a problem, hit me on my cell phone (Phone, phone)

Know a couple brothers talking through a jail phone (Phone)

On their best behaviour but still walkin' bell downed, shit's fucked (Fucked)

No, I don't owe you nothin' (Nah)

Talk that talk if you're gonna do somethin'

If I was in this position like a year ago (What?)

I probably would've fell off like a year ago (Yeah)

Fill my pockets, yeah, it's money that we run a lot (Yeah)

But fuck that, tell my people that I'm coming home (Home)

I'm coming home, boy

I'm crawling up these walls

But they won't come down

No, they won't come down

I'm tearing at the core

'Til their words drown out

'Til their words drown

Clawing at the heart, the trust

You take the little pieces, covering up my soul

I'm just a fool in your game

My life, your prey, aye

One, one time now, Hics

Two time now, aye

Gratitude

Gimme some gratitude
