Grateful about my music

[Intro] Yeah… Late night thoughts… Grateful for the music. [Verse 1] Late nights, pen in my hand, mind heavy with scars Could’ve been another soul locked behind iron bars Wrong roads, cold streets calling my name One bad step and my whole life change Seen friends disappear in the back of police cars Gray walls closing in, living life behind bars Anger in my chest, all that weight in my head But the music gave a place for the tears I never said [Chorus] Thankful for the mic, yeah it saved my soul Could’ve been a number on a prison roll Now I write my pain when the nights feel long Turn the hurt in my heart to another song Thankful for the beat, for the pen, for the sound Could’ve been locked while the world spins around But I found me a way when the darkness was near Every time I hit the booth, I find peace right here [Verse 2] Sometimes I wonder where my life might be If the rhythm never came and the music missed me All that anger in my chest would’ve turned to rage Now it pours out slowly on the page Streets got gravity pulling souls down fast And the system don’t care when you’re stuck in the past But the beat gave hope when my vision went dim Every bar like a prayer when the lights get thin [Chorus] Thankful for the mic, yeah it saved my soul Could’ve been a number on a prison roll Now I write my pain when the nights feel long Turn the hurt in my heart to another song Thankful for the beat, for the pen, for the sound Could’ve been locked while the world spins around But I found me a way when the darkness was near Every time I hit the booth, I find peace right here [Outro] Some people fight… Some people fall… Some people never escape it at all… But me… I found a voice in rhythm and rhyme… And every verse reminds me… I’m grateful for the tim
