Appreciation
I was in a situation where I had a realization
About the importance of appreciation
Surfin' couches in the city i didn't have a home
Now i focus on what i have and not what I don't
Drama with my mama drama with my papa
Pain and resentment i truly had a lot of
Lack of communication leading to separation
In a city of millions i was stuck in isolation
Confused on where I'm at confused on where I belong
I failed to recognize what I had all along
Maybe it was the pain maybe it was the depression
But i do not have regrets i only have lessons
Drugs and abuse, trouble with the law
Normal people haven't seen the things that I saw
All the pain that i have been through only made me strong
Everything that i have seen it helps me write my songs
Consciousness i'm so adrift
I love that grey
Take a hit yeah i do it fuck a consequence
Fuck with him on the low so anonymous
Nando and we can run this whole metropolis
When i was a little kid it was me and my mom
Yeah we had a small apartment but i had it all
Simple things in life it seems like people have just lost
They're obsessed with fancy things and how much that they cost
Crazy where we are because we came up from the bottom
Grandma came across the border didn't have a dollar
First one in my family to go to four year college
Picture perfect but my life is everything but polished
Done a lot of learning and it's been outside my courses
Growing up yeah it has been anything but gorgeous
Sources of these forces forcin' metamorphosis
Of course it is a lot to digest but i portion it
God has blessed me with a lot i am so fortunate
But ima show my family what a fortune is
Yeah it's nando, uh
