Gratitude

To be honest I struggle with envy
When I see someone with a bentley
Or crooked politicians who have more than plenty
When mean while my pockets still empty
Saw a post the other day that sent me
Shorty twerking with a birkin
Wondering why my prayers ain't working
Or even if He heard em
I just wanna flex
I just wanna shine
Don't wanna worry about bills all the time
The day to day is consuming my mind
Gripping my faith
Lord you know that I'm trying
It's getting harder everyday
But still yet I pray
With you is where imma stay
Follow the cloud even when it's grey
I don't need yall to give me a "word"
Sometime you just need to be heard
This poverty life's for the birds
I just need to talk about it for a minute
Hard to see the forest when you in it
Yeah I got a roof, but it's rented
Yeah I got coupe, but it's dented
Need to take a trip to the dentist
But don't got the loot
Think I'm growing in a tooth
Hope it's wisdom

Gratitude
Gratitude
Somehow you still win
Even when you lose
Gratitude
Gratitude
Somehow you still win
Even when you lose
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Somehow you still win
Even when you lose
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Somehow you still win

Does it make me less of Christian to state how I really feel?
I'm all for the positivity, but sometimes I need yall to be for real
It ain't always sunshine and rainbows
Remember how Cain did Abel
Jeremiah was a bit unstable
Paul's thorn, man had to be painful
Even Jesus was flipping some tables
We hide our emotions like we ain't all broken
And being strong is some kind of token
And try to fix it with something that's potent
Unhealthy ways of coping
Let's just keep it a bill
Yall rather play church than to do this for real
It takes more work to be out in the field
To get your nails dirty to pull them out of the cell
Prosperity gospel
Unprepared for when depression hit
Yeah it got you
Send them out while unequipped
Not building Apostles
I call bull, yeah I sniffed
Straight through my nostrils
Although life will have you singing the blues
And we get caught up in the hues
And it feels like there's nothing we can do
But we still got the power to choose

Gratitude
Gratitude
Somehow you still win
Even when you lose
Gratitude
Gratitude
Somehow you still win
Even when you lose
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Somehow you still win
Even when you lose
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Gratitude (Gratitude)
Somehow you still win
