Grateful – MNA (Matthew Nino Azcuy)

I was living in a dream
Threw my pain out the window
Now I’m free
See your face when I sleep
I can still see my childhood street
Yeah
I was living in a dream
Threw my pain out the window
Now I’m free
See your face when I sleep
I can still see my childhood street
Yeah

I remember was a kid had a dream yeah
Can I really make a reality
Yeah.
Seeing my potential
Man, I see the gifts
But they try to hold you down
What is this
I was left out
Was the outcast
But I’m separated cuz I’m lifted
Outlast
Prayed every night
Be a better man
Then you lifted me up,
Throwing prayer hands
Now I pay my bills
Now I have a life
See I was thinking I would have to take it
With a knife
No one left,
Running out of light
No one left
No one, in sight
God help me please
Cuz you’re not around
Sitting here with the demons
Think I’m about to drown
God help me please
Cuz you’re not around
Sitting here with the demons
Think I’m about to drown

I was living in a dream
Threw my pain out the window
Now I’m free
See your face when I sleep
I can see my childhood dream
I was living in a dream
Threw my pain out the window
Now I’m free
See your face when I sleep
See your face when I sleep

I’ve been frustrated
Trying to write a hook
Get the labels
Try to take a second look
Spill my guts out
Think I’ll write a book
They got me praying now
Now I got them shook
Some days are easy
But most hard
Yeah, you chasing all the fame and the superstars
What you forget
Is love supersedes
Anything that these p******
Wanna do to me
See I make music
& stay true to me
I be in the booth
Speaking all my poetry
What’s inside my heart to the people
Socially
I phonetically
Infiltrate mentally
Show the kids
All the things they’re meant to be
And I loved once,
Oh, what she meant to me
But life goes on
& that’s growth
Tears in my eyes
You got me choked.

I was living in a dream
Threw my pain out the window
Now I’m free
See your face when I sleep
I can see my childhood street
I was living in a dream
Threw my pain out the window
Now I’m free
See your face when I sleep
See your face when I sleep

Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
I was living in a dream
See your face when I sleep
