Church (feat. Teni Tinks & Loick Essien)

I should let the keys play

What you thankful for?

Yeah

I could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in church on a Sunday (I'm grateful)

I could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in church on a Sunday, I'm thankful for that (I'm so grateful)

I could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in a church on a Sunday (I'm great and I'm full, I'm grateful)

I could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in a church on a Sunday (I'm grateful)

We're walkin' past her that is

Man, I see a couple girls that I was partying with

It's like Ciroc was holy water, they was askin' for drinks

Tellin' me their life story, how they father their kids

I'm like, who am I to judge, throwing stones in this glass house of mine

I should write an album, call it Growing All My Life

I'm growing over time, going ghost with poltergeists

If I disappear, I'll only reappear in holy time

I mean Rollie time, 'cause the clock's tickin'

This is money from forgiveness, this is not sinning

I say a prayer for the prisoners who did not listen

This ain't a verse from the Bible, but it's God written

Man, I know they're shutting doors on all your ideas

But I ain't never seen a prosecutor fight fair

I'm right here in your right ear

Almost like Tyson on Evander

I got proper grammar, ain't got time for propaganda

I'm present in my ends, I'm almost like a pop-up Santa

But it's like the Feds would rather see a emcee with a hammer

Go broke again, nah, I won't go broke again

Rainy days made me hold my cleanse

And now I'm focusing

I'm Ford cars Focused in

This song lets me know I'm king, oh yeah

I could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in church on a Sunday (I'm grateful)

I could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in church on a Sunday, I'm thankful for that (I'm so grateful)

Could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in church on a Sunday

I could've been in jail on a Monday

Instead I'm in a church on a Sunday

It's true stories, man, that story is true

You're winning if you're clean hearted, that's the glory in you

The good's glowing in your eyes like fluorescent lights

I pray you get a good run if you need exercise

But right now, I'm tryna focus on the loyalty

I mean that first album, tenth album loyalty

I be like Prince, man, I'm living off my royalties

'Cause you see, music's in my roots, it's the soil in me

Until they put the soil on me

My mum gave birth she was kicking and screaming

When she dragged me to church, I was kicking and screaming

Now I'm here with free will, I'm just living and dreaming

It's the cycle of life, guess it keeps on repeating

See, I have to paint the sky to see there isn't a ceiling

Guess the luxury of sight helped me kill off my demons

So you ain't cuffing me tonight, they'll be kicking and screaming

The whole ends is on my side and it's a mutual feeling

But I'm in drive though, I'm reminiscing on the high roads

Sorry I used to send us home when we would fight, bro

Saw the hole ends shed a tear when she died, bro

That's the type of person that will always be alive, though

We all know them people in our life

But sometimes we gotta let them fly

Anybody special never dies

I'm giving you my growing pains, growing over life

In this world of sin

I nearly lost my innocence

And in my darkest hour

I still wouldn't go back

I still wouldn't go

Still wouldn't go

I still wouldn't go

'Cause I'm grateful

'Cause I'm grateful

I'm grateful, so grateful

I'm great and I'm cool, yeah I'm grateful

I'm grateful, so grateful

I'm great and I'm cool, yeah I'm grateful

I'm grateful, so grateful

I'm great and I'm cool, yeah I'm grateful

I'm grateful, so grateful

I'm great and I'm cool, yeah I'm grateful

I'm grateful, so grateful

I'm great and I'm cool, yeah I'm grateful

I'm grateful, so grateful

I'm great and I'm cool, yeah I'm grateful
