For Granted

For Granted 

(Verse 1)
One day you have it all 
The next day you can loose it 
You have on life to live 
So you choose it 
Choose what you want to do 
Live out your dreams 
Get it together no matter how hard it seems 
Keep going , keep pressing
Whatever you do stop stressing
Over things that you can't control
Ask the lord restore your strength
 and make you whole
Remember that he's always in control 

Chorus 
Don't take it for granted 
Keep pushing 
You can handle it 
Don't take it for granted 
Keep pushing 
You can handle it 

Verse 2
Seems like a dream 
When you look at this world 
It's getting worse 
Sometimes it feels like an unwanted verse 
People are killing 
For no reason 
Sometimes I feel like what's the season 
No I'm not talking about the weather 
We in a world that can't pull it together 
The senseless  beatings and killings
How can we have any dealings
I pray this world can get the healing 
That it needs 
In order to succeed 
Will we let it be 
The children are not living to see 
Past being a preteen 
We living in a world so mean 
We have people dying from being sick 
Didn't get a chance 
To live a life 
And people taking it 
With a gun a knife 
Not nice not fair 
Living in a world that don't care 

Chorus 
Don't take it for granted 
Keep pushing 
You can handle it 
Don't take it for granted 
Keep pushing 
You can handle it 

(Rap)
Every day it's the hustle 
Built tough and strong 
I got the hustle down pack
It help me keep my life on track
It's in me , not just on me 
I hold it down , I'm a queen  earned my crown 
 Life throws itself somehow we manage 
Keep God first 
Don't take it for granted


Chorus 
Don't take it for granted 
Keep pushing 
You can handle it 
Don't take it for granted 
Keep pushing 
You can handle it 
(Repeat until chorus fades)
