Granted

I can't stand to lose a friend, but I'd lose a G
I'll let the past be the past for the future me
Stuck in thought, like back in class when I'd always speak
Couldn't trust anybody that's a promise I made to keep,
Wait a second, have I really turned a new leaf?
I been tryna tread light, but I'm too deep
I got friends that lack soul, I wish they grew feet
Least if I make it they won't be one of the groupies
I be vibing with anybody's authenticity
And if I get back what I give, then it's electricity
Sometimes it's simple, sometimes it holds complexity
Sometimes it happens instantly, others it comes eventually
I'll clarify for any guy that can't put aside
Hatred and envy just to help a friend gettin' by
A world with no one left in the lurch, now that's divine
Like turning ash to wine it's as falsified as Coraline
And that's why...

This life's for granted
I won't ever take it
I told myself that I'd learn from the tainted
This ain't the world that I knew as a child
I see it different to how it's been painted

I got shit up on my mind I need to let go
Otherwise I'll face changes with the wrong tone
Colour blind to the sunshine, staring down below
Gotta keep my chin high, so that I can grow
Ain't nobody in my circle gonna benefit
From me bein' selfish and dismissive, a degenerate
Used to hold grudges as a youngin', never settled it
Lookin' back, that's a red flag, not Confederate
Listen to me talkin', all so righteous
If I speed past those bars with some nitrous
Maybe you'll forget that, or you might just
Not see a dumb little kid, wearin' diapers
Yeah I been told twice I got long to go
But you gonna tell me that love and respect, is wrong to show?
Yeah, didn't think so, please have another go
Please try and knock me, you'll need more than a combo
Rondo, never drop the ball when I'm on though
Wait no, I done it plenty times and I've gone broke
If you see a bump in the road can you warn a bro?
It's about levels, could care less about all the dough

This life's for granted
I won't ever take it
I told myself that I'd learn from the tainted
This ain't the world that I knew as a child
I see it different to how it's been painted
