Grateful For Music Challenge Day 20

Song: CAREFUL 

Artist: NF feat. Cordae

I'M JUST SO RELIEVED AND HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! 😅🙏

I started panicking last night about something that was to happen today and, as always, the Lord blessed me more than I deserved and a HUGE weight of stress and anxiety has been lifted off my shoulders!  My work day is officially behind me and I have the rest of the week to prepare for and celebrate THANKSGIVING!! 🦃🙏 I am feeling SO GRATEFUL!! Not to mention I got to go to my first ever Tree Lighting Ceremony!! It was so magical and fun! Straight out of a Hallmark movie 😂 Sans a romantic interest...😢😬 LET THE HOLIDAYS OFFICALLY COMMENCE!!! 🦃🙏🎄

Of course NF has to be featured on one of my Grateful For Music posts because I am so grateful I "discovered" him this year! His music has been soul-stirring and made me feel alllll the feels!! 💓😭👊🔥😝🙏 I am grateful for his vulnerability and willingness to share his heart with us, it makes me feel less alone and also like "finally! Someone said it! Someone gets it!" I specifically chose this song because of this line: "Thinking about how I'm so thankful...look at my life, I'm grateful" 😁🙏 Tis the season of gratitude and giving thanks! Which is exactly what NF is saying in this song. I'm so happy for him!! Listening to his lyrics and hearing how far he's come and where he's at...it gives me hope. 

Stuntin' on me, you get exposed

I don't wanna pick then I buy both

Doesn't go plat, it'll go gold

Keep it up upfront, I don't tiptoe

I be at the house tryin' to lay low

Duckin' and dodgin' the promo

Sit on my roof like J Cole

Yeah, sit on my roof like J Cole

Thinking about how I'm so thankful

Subpar songs, I don't make those

Look at that car I paid for

Look at my life, I'm grateful

Hatin' on me, that's hateful

You know I hit what I aim for

Talkin' 'bout risks, I take those

Didn't get here being careful

Listen, ah

Talkin' 'bout risk, I take those

Millionaire still riding with the Draco

Courtside at the game Jumbotron got my name on it

That's how a typical day goes

I just left Nigeria, Lagos

I just met Kanye, Yesoz

I was talkin' to God, 'bout what's real or what's not

All he said was remain faithful  🔥💓

OK, I get, I got it, I'm with it, I'm 'bout it

My crib is exotic I'm blessed, hey

We living chaotic was high off narcotics

But that's when my life was a mess, hey

We come from the bottom we still at the bottom

I get high to relieve the stress, hey

I don't think y'all get the message

This just world is built off misconceptions

Talkin 'bout greed

Talkin 'bout envy

Talkin 'bout money, then we talkin' 'bout plenty

Talkin 'bout dollars, or we talkin' 'bout pennies

Talkin' 'bout drinking, then we talkin' 'bout Henny

What we talkin' 'bout

Lost souls at a crossroad, money coming in in large loads

I've been crossed so my heart cold

That's all we know

Stuntin' on me, you get exposed

I don't wanna pick then I buy both

Doesn't go plat, it'll go gold

Keep it up upfront, I don't tiptoe

I be at the house tryin' to lay low

Duckin' and dodgin' the promo

Sit on my roof like J Cole

Yeah, sit on my roof like J Cole

Thinking about how I'm so thankful

Subpar songs, I don't make those

Look at that car I paid for

Look at my life, I'm grateful

Hatin' on me, that's hateful

You know I hit what I aim for

Talkin' 'bout risks, I take those

Didn't get here being careful

Called up my dad and I told him I got you

You wanna retire, then do it, you're good  💓

Called up my grandma and told her

It's time to move out of that basement, let's get you a crib  🙌💓

Called up my manager, told 'em get ready

It's 'bout to get busy this record is, ah

Called up to God and I asked 'em you watchin' my back?

He ain't say nothin' back but I heard what He said  🔥🙏

When you see how I'm livin' the answer is obvious ain't it

When you go from poverty stricken and stressing

'Bout buying the groceries to not even having to look at the total

You know you've been blessed

Sharing the wealth, ain't no point in me keeping this all to myself

I ain't taking this money with me to my grave

Yeah, I might as well bless all the people I love

We talking 'bout making a difference, I'm making one  💓👊🙌

Talking 'bout risks, I been taken 'em

Talking 'bout dreams, I been chasin' 'em

Talking 'bout lives, I been changin' 'em  ✋

Talking 'bout family don't play with 'em, whoa

That's a line you don't cross, no

Low blows can't respect those

Gotta keep the loved ones close

That's all we know, yeah

Stuntin' on me, you get exposed

I don't wanna pick then I buy both

Doesn't go plat, it'll go gold

Keep it up upfront, I don't tiptoe

I be at the house tryin' to lay low

Duckin' and dodgin' the promo

Sit on my roof like J Cole

Yeah, sit on my roof like J Cole

Thinking about how I'm so thankful

Subpar songs, I don't make those

Look at that car I paid for

Look at my life, I'm grateful

Hatin' on me, that's hateful

You know I hit what I aim for

Talkin' 'bout risks, I take those

Didn't get here being careful
