A Little Grace (feat. Don Dubious & Nickelus F)

I feel like shit, me

Yeah, that's my choice, like, I know what I'm doing

Times Uh

Times

It was times that I've needed you, you ain't pick up

It was times that I needed you, you ain't press play

It was times that I needed you, had something to say

It was times that I needed you, ain't come my way

My blood brother was supposed to be in my wedding

Sad to say he still ain't having shit together

One of my best friends was supposed to be in my wedding

That **** ghosted me, we ain't spoken forever

Damn, damn

One thing I learned about expecting things from other people

Be quick to learn that everybody ain't you

Everybody ain't Mike

Everybody ain't Nick

Everybody ain't Ericka, Frank, or Gabrielle

Everybody ain't Shivaun

And speaking of Shivaun, I love you, dear sister

Don't ever get it wrong

If you ever ask me why I ain't mention you in a song

I would tell you that I'm sorry that it took this long

But I didn't know you was listening, feeling like a christening

At 42, is it really possible to be reborn

Butterfly out the cocoon but ain't close to my final form

Knowing God showed me heaven and hell in the same storm

Kind of folded up my character like tales from the hood

Thank God I'm not my demons

I prevailed with the good

At 22, I was so angry at my father

At 42, I'm grateful that I still have a father

Have a little grace

You get more haters along with success

Ayo, my grandmother lived on her own to the day she turned 100 years old

Still cooking and cleaning

She just moved in with my parents

Whole time kicking and screaming

I swear she walked up to God and said, look, this the agreement

I'ma show the world your love through me as long as I'm living and breathing

And God said, bet that

So to this day, she's still living and breathing

All the years she spent on earth watching the switch in the seasons

You gotta give praise where it's due

She's a miracle even

But I took a pause to ask why I'm watching my sibling grieving

Little Cayden had to fight tooth and nail just to make it to five

This shit seems unfair

I compared it to grandma today and I cried

My mama face so strong, she'll turn a bong to a plate full of fries

Whenever she prayed, you replied

And came with a way to provide

Pop said most of your so-called friends ain't gonna stay by your side

They'll hide behind codes they know they breaking when staging they lies

And why you crashing out and playing victim, you way out of line

Can't even see yourself for who you are

Man, you basically blind

You breaking all our hearts, but here we are

Have a little grace
