Loick Essien - Church lyrics

[Intro: Wretch 32] I should let the keys play What you thankful for? [Hook: Wretch 32 & Teni Tinks] I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in church on a Sunday (I'm grateful) I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in church on a Sunday I'm thankful for that (I'm so grateful) I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in a church on a Sunday (I'm great and I'm full, I'm grateful) I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in church on a Sunday [Verse 1: Wretch 32] We're walking past her that is Man I see a couple girls that I was partying with It's like Ciroc was holy water They was asking for drinks Telling me their life story How they fathered their kids I'm like who am I to judge Throwing stones, in this gla** house of mine I should write an album, call it "Growing Over Life" I'm growing over time Going ghost with poltergeists If I disappear I'll only reappear in holy time I mean rollie time cause the clock's ticking This is money from forgiveness, this is not sinning I say a prayer for the prisoners who did not listen This ain't a verse from the Bible, but it's god written Man, I know they're shutting doors on all your ideas But I ain't never seen a prosecutor fight fair I'm right here in your right ear, almost like Tyson on Evander I got proper grammar, ain't got time for propaganda I'm present in my ends, I'm almost like a pop-up Santa But it's like the feds would rather see a MC with a hammer Go broke again, nah, I won't go broke again Rainy days made me hold my cleanse And now I'm focusing, I'm Ford cars focused in This song lets me know I'm king, oh yeah [Hook: Wretch 32 & Teni Tinks] I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in church on a Sunday (I'm grateful) I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in church on a Sunday I'm thankful for that I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in a church on a Sunday I could've been in jail on a Monday Instead I'm in a church on a Sunday [Verse 2: Wretch 32] It's true stories, man, that story is true You're winning if you're clean hearted, that's the glory in you The good's glowing in your eyes like fluorescent lights I pray you get a good run if you need exercise But right now I'm trying to focus on the loyalty I mean that first album, tenth album loyalty I be like Prince, man, I'm living off my royalties Cause, you see, music's in my roots, it's the soil in me Until they put the soil on me My mum gave birth, she was kicking and screaming When she dragged me to church, I was kicking and screaming Now I'm here with free will, I'm just living and dreaming It's the cycle of life, guess it keeps on repeating See, I had to paint the sky to see there isn't a ceiling Guess the luxury of sight helped me k** off my demons So you ain't cuffing me tonight, they'll be kicking and screaming The whole ends is on my side and it's a mutual feeling But I'm in drive though, I'm reminiscing on the high road [?] used to send us home when we would fight, bro Saw the whole ends shed a tear when she died, bro That's the type of person that will always be alive, though We all know them people in our life But sometimes we gotta let them fly Anybody special never dies I'm giving you my growing pains, growing over life [Bridge: Loick Essien] In this world of sin I nearly lost my innocence And in my darkest hour I still wouldn't go back I still wouldn't go Still wouldn't go I still wouldn't go Cause I'm grateful Cause I'm grateful [Outro: Choir] x6 I'm grateful So grateful I'm great and I'm full Yeah I'm grateful
