Lewi B is Back in the Ring with Gratitude and Grit on “Grateful” By NWO SPARROW

Lewi B’s comeback starts before the beat drops,with physical therapy footage that feels raw and real. You immediately know this isn’t a flex, it’s a rebirth. Since stepping away from music in 2021 after a life-altering event, he’s returned with more than just bars. He’s returned with purpose. The video shows him healing, visiting graves, then chopping it up with his crew at Brooklyn chop house, like he’s giving us a cinematic bridge from pain to power.

That visual story packs the emotional punch before he even says a word. Lewi isn’t just name-checking hardship, he’s processing it in full view. Every setting, every cut, every shot aligns with this idea: “I’m standing because I chose to.” It’s cinematic statement, not just a music video. By the time he starts rapping, you’re leaning in. Because you know: This is a man who’s risked everything, and now he’s giving gratitude its flowers—and his enemies their space in the past. That concept alone positions “Grateful” as more than a song, it’s a personal manifesto.

Lewi grabs your attention early with a punchline that snaps into focus, “Put ’em in the box for that chicken like Kennedy’s”, sharp, clever, no frills. That line sets the tone: this is a controlled, confident return, not hype filler. Then he hits with the ambition check, “Fuck indictments, I’m tryin’ to see a Forbes list.” He’s looking to avoid trouble and to build wealth, respect, legacy. It’s a transition realer than any rap line use for a reaction. But the stunner is his triple-bar vulnerability , “They tried to take the kid out—that’s abortion / They tried to leave me in that creek like I’m Dawson / They just tried to ride the wave like a dolphin.” That’s trauma put into rhythm, crafted in a way that makes you want to hear him freestyle every one of those bars live. This line actually made me go back into youtube catalouge and check out other music from him , hoping to stumble upon a freestyle. I believe this kid has heat.

Hallway Rick’s hook closes the track with the right tone: “I’m just being grateful.” No heavy-handed preaching, just sincere delivery. It’s subtle, perfect, and backed by his melodic ease. Finally, Lewi closes with resolve, “Turn my enemies into memories.” That’s more than a rhyme, it’s a life lesson. You feel the weight—this is more than the latest single; it’s his personal homage to survival. The visuals? Smooth and intentional. Emotional in motion with clean shots that match the story. He didn’t hire big-budget glam—he let reality shine through. And rightfully so.

Vocal Opinion

What makes “Grateful” resonate deeper than the average street memoir is how Lewi B refuses to glamorize pain , he processes it. This isn’t trauma used as aesthetic; it’s trauma turned into testimony. After being off the scene since 2021 due to a life-altering experience, Lewi doesn’t step back into music for applause, he does it to tell the truth. There’s power in restraint, and you can feel it in the way he delivers each line, not rushed, not overdone, just real. The song doesn’t try to win on trends or clever tricks; it wins on heart. And when he closes with a bar like “Turn my enemies into memories,” it’s not for drama, it’s a promise to himself. That healing journey isn’t just shown in the lyrics, it’s in the imagery, rehab footage, cemeteries, and tables full of the people who are still here. It’s raw, and it’s cinematic, but it’s also balanced by a focus on moving forward instead of being weighed down.
