This song is the epitome of what im going through. I focus on the future and past when they have no relevance to this moment right here. Anxiety and Depression have taken over my life but in my heart i know the only way you should live is by being grateful for this present moment.
never forget that you will receive whatever you work hard for. no matter where you are now, if you're working toward the future, you will be happy. if we just sit in our pain and our thoughts, nothing will ever change. the world wants to give it to you you just have to take it.
skev I used to have bad anxiety but I started looking at myself in the mirror and realize everyone has flaws not just me🙏🏽 hope everyone in this comment section has a chill day
This dude puts so much content into his songs. His lyrics aren't just empty words to get paychecks, this shit is so savage. Patiently waiting for this new album. Grateful. Grateful. Grateful.
I found your music by accident and Apologies in Advance inspired me to pick up some psychology books. I'm 4 books deep and have finally started finding the peace I have been looking for my whole life. You are a special person with a powerful message
This dude is hella underrated. Never forget when I first stumbled upon "Searching Sylvan" those years back. It should have been an album one of the best projects ever made IMO. A classic. By this track and Best Me he might outdue it on this next project
This has always been my favorite song and I didn’t feel what he was truly talking about until I personally went through it. I felt like no one understood and then he perfectly describes everything in this song. “Even when the sunshine from my eye I still find a way to go blind” that line hit different. Bro keep doing your work, it is being received by the ears it needs to.
Love the presence of God in many artists like fyutch, Sylvan LaCue and Chance. Soo much darkness in pop culture, but there are pockets of light poking through it.
[Verse 1] Yeah, I wish I could put my feelings aside I do not know why I cling to my pride Blessings adding up, I should feel amazing Funny how you learn to fall from grace as soon as you touch the sky I can have it all as long as I try Little did I notice, everything I wanted all was inside Envious assumptions all too hard to function, dopamine consumption I need compliments and ego driven lunches, all to feed my gumption [Hook] Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful [Verse 2] Back and forth on my logic, on a Tuesday night Everything's going my way and I'm still losing my mind I done 'bout prayed to God at least eight hundred and 4022 times Even when the sun shines from my eyes, I still find a way to go blind Even my whole squad, that's myself boy, I walk this road alone Used to play Kingdom Hearts in my spare time and bump Jeezy tapes to feel grown Feeling that who that nigga we that, Shawty Redd was my ringtone Way before Apple Music and Spotify was all on my new phone I was but a young boy with an old dream, can't nothing ruin my day Made a lot of progress in my lifetime, dog, I done came a long way I don't ever stop to think about shit, though, like why the fuck you so mad? Always want to talk about what I ain't got instead of everything that I have [Hook] Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful I know I can't help it, I know I can't help it Grateful, grateful, grateful I know I can't help it, I know I can't help it [Verse 3] God with me in my lowest moments, blessings on blessings right under noses Open up your heart and smell the roses Why your mind caught up in the future when it don't exist yet Take a look around, all we got is now, life ain't measured by no inches So much on my mental balancing these worries heavy weighing like a bench press Couldn't tell I need a spot until them bells is dropping on me I don't invest In anybody, but myself these days I been mobbing with myself these days I wanna trust so so bad, ain't been feeling like myself these days Mama told me "Shake the Devil off and let it go You put dreaming on a pedestal" Moments get forsaken, granted you feel taken God is giving you a better view The only real change is inside of you Only real change is inside of you [Hook] Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful Grateful, grateful, grateful
This is the type of music that has heart and soul. It has meaning, It's real, real emotions with some truths, it makes you think, it makes you reflect. This song has a higher purpose. Thank you Sylvan & God bless you. Keep it up. 🙏🏽❤️ Be Grateful for what you have, dont be sad for what you dont have. If you want it, if you believe it, you can get/do it. But be grateful for what you have right here and now. ❤️
I've listened to this song a number of times and today I've just focused on God and I came back to this song and deeply listened to his lyrics boy oh boy REAL REAL REAL words touched me still. God bless you brother for real.
I was with her when I saw this for the first time..2yrs algo... Now I wipe my tears to see she’s no longer with me and only this song to remind me of it all once again. ❤️ & ☮️
I been feeling suicidal all day and then i listended to this.. i think god is sending me a message and it led me here. Thank you brother i am.grateful for your music
I just discovered this extremely talented young man today!! The universe has been on point with guiding me and connecting me with things I need to see and hear on this wonderful spiritual journey I'm going through!! I love it!! 🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
For real I was constantly ferociously suicidal last spring and for real this song was so vital in me choosing to stay. Choosing love. I am so grateful to be here. Loving. Thank you infinitely
Sometimes the choices we make, even the ones we constantly question, were for a reason. Even if you think that reason was in the front of mind and righteous at first, and upon thinking about it may have been for less than righteous reason, and you go back and forth, it can often still be intuition that led you. Maybe things could have been good down one path, and maybe things are even better down another, in ways you have to get curious about. and ask God seriously, why? Why did I choose this, help me to see so that I may continue this journey. Guide me every step of the way. Wherever that may go.
Don't know how I'm just finding this song. Great beat, flow and delivery was perfect. I've listened to a few songs now and man this is exactly what main stream rap needs to be. Who else misses a song being a experience, a story not just a beat and hook.
It's 2020 and I'm still grateful for finding you dude, you make it easier to get through work and life. Much love to you and I wish the best for you and your movement bro. You are definitely one of the greats 💞💞
When songs like this can blow up you know it is almost time. Human consciousness really is shifting the plates of the continents. God i'm grateful I found this.
Jonathan K ja isso... ich warte schon seit Jahren bis der die Annerkung bekommt, die er verdient.. und klar kenn ich den Song! ich kenne ihn ja auch durch Logic
CagetheKyle yeah I heard he said that. Sometimes he surprises me when he gets a lil arrogant I hope his talent don't get to his head. But I do hope he stop sleeping on Rashad

This song is the epitome of what im going through. I focus on the future and past when they have no relevance to this moment right here. Anxiety and Depression have taken over my life but in my heart i know the only way you should live is by being grateful for this present moment.
ty for finding words for what im feeling
never forget that you will receive whatever you work hard for. no matter where you are now, if you're working toward the future, you will be happy. if we just sit in our pain and our thoughts, nothing will ever change. the world wants to give it to you you just have to take it.
Yooo lol

DeuceTheGamer r u deaf

I lost my dad 12-20-2020 this song brings me uplifting feelings thankyou so much for these vibes..
I feel you brother. Lost my mom 11-2-2015. This song and others of Sylvan helped me get out of the abyss
Coming back here every year to see if Sylvan got the support he deserves
I found your music by accident and Apologies in Advance inspired me to pick up some psychology books. I'm 4 books deep and have finally started finding the peace I have been looking for my whole life. You are a special person with a powerful message
Young man I fell across this jawn years ago and it’s still in heavy rotation!! 🔥
ONLY REAL CHANGE IS INSIDE OF YOU....
ONLY REAL CHANGE IS INSIDE OF YOU....
The end of this song is absolutely beautiful.
Whats the name of the other song
@@kwamainewalker7703 I wish I knew!
This dude is hella underrated. Never forget when I first stumbled upon "Searching Sylvan" those years back. It should have been an album one of the best projects ever made IMO. A classic. By this track and Best Me he might outdue it on this next project
Silhouette they finally added searching sylvan to Apple Music! 😁👍🏼
@@SunBro_Talos Holy shit how did i just find out about this. Been listening to that shit on spinrilla for the past 4 years smh
laen I feel you man I was listening to it on RUclips and SoundCloud for years lmao
I love Sylvan but I dont see him ever topping Searching Sylvan. He set the bar really really high for himself with that project
Thank you for this song, over & over. Bless.
First I've heard of Sylvan, shit is magical. Will be following
Oh shit I just found out this is QuESt, I knew I recognized this voice
This has always been my favorite song and I didn’t feel what he was truly talking about until I personally went through it. I felt like no one understood and then he perfectly describes everything in this song. “Even when the sunshine from my eye I still find a way to go blind” that line hit different. Bro keep doing your work, it is being received by the ears it needs to.
These ideas for these music videos are dope
Chico Lee Rappers try to overdo them. Something simple like this is dope.
I'm grateful I found this. Truly
"A wife and kids don't sound as bad is they used to sound"
damn, straight in the feels.
Bros this lacue songs will never day
Love the presence of God in many artists like fyutch, Sylvan LaCue and Chance. Soo much darkness in pop culture, but there are pockets of light poking through it.
You feel it bro ur smart check out bay area rappers from cali and pantheon elite rap group
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I wish I could put my feelings aside
I do not know why I cling to my pride
Blessings adding up, I should feel amazing
Funny how you learn to fall from grace as soon as you touch the sky
I can have it all as long as I try
Little did I notice, everything I wanted all was inside
Envious assumptions all too hard to function, dopamine consumption
I need compliments and ego driven lunches, all to feed my gumption
[Hook]
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
[Verse 2]
Back and forth on my logic, on a Tuesday night
Everything's going my way and I'm still losing my mind
I done 'bout prayed to God at least eight hundred and 4022 times
Even when the sun shines from my eyes, I still find a way to go blind
Even my whole squad, that's myself boy, I walk this road alone
Used to play Kingdom Hearts in my spare time and bump Jeezy tapes to feel grown
Feeling that who that nigga we that, Shawty Redd was my ringtone
Way before Apple Music and Spotify was all on my new phone
I was but a young boy with an old dream, can't nothing ruin my day
Made a lot of progress in my lifetime, dog, I done came a long way
I don't ever stop to think about shit, though, like why the fuck you so mad?
Always want to talk about what I ain't got instead of everything that I have
[Hook]
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
I know I can't help it, I know I can't help it
Grateful, grateful, grateful
I know I can't help it, I know I can't help it
[Verse 3]
God with me in my lowest moments, blessings on blessings right under noses
Open up your heart and smell the roses
Why your mind caught up in the future when it don't exist yet
Take a look around, all we got is now, life ain't measured by no inches
So much on my mental balancing these worries heavy weighing like a bench press
Couldn't tell I need a spot until them bells is dropping on me I don't invest
In anybody, but myself these days
I been mobbing with myself these days
I wanna trust so so bad, ain't been feeling like myself these days
Mama told me "Shake the Devil off and let it go
You put dreaming on a pedestal"
Moments get forsaken, granted you feel taken
God is giving you a better view
The only real change is inside of you
Only real change is inside of you
[Hook]
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Grateful, grateful, grateful
Congrats on the video! It was a pleasure having you at Sofar! We hope to see you soon :)
This man is slept on for years. KEEP PUSHING MY VRUTHA FROM ANOTHA ! You gone make it ☯️🎯
Real change is inside of you.
Much needed message for insecure folks like me. Appreciate the vibe that you on man. Positivity is always contagioius. Stay straight the path Sylvan🙏
I love you
You are your only competition
Be ok with you and grow
This beautiful and bold song is in my rising playlist and an essential feature of my early day rituals.
The fuckin memories dawg
Seriously bro
This is the type of music that has heart and soul. It has meaning, It's real, real emotions with some truths, it makes you think, it makes you reflect. This song has a higher purpose.
Thank you Sylvan & God bless you. Keep it up. 🙏🏽❤️
Be Grateful for what you have, dont be sad for what you dont have.
If you want it, if you believe it, you can get/do it. But be grateful for what you have right here and now. ❤️
Quest is a Liked Before Seeing type of artist
Makaveli_Q dude fell off hard

Proof that guy better then all others...

It's awesome to see a Florida artist making good content. From another Floridian.
Sylvan LaCue you are the missing piece to hip hop. You speak on real topics that go unheard. Keep it up pham. Wise up
I've listened to this song a number of times and today I've just focused on God and I came back to this song and deeply listened to his lyrics boy oh boy REAL REAL REAL words touched me still. God bless you brother for real.

He's the perfect artist to listen to while you driving. Sylvan LaCue haves this vibe that no one haves.

Discovering amazing music by accident is one of the best things ever, the little things matter the most.
