BLESSED

Every breath I take Is a sign that I'm winning I've been thinking back To the kills and the killing Could've been a stat In a plot or a prison Now I'm feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living This life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living Seven years old and a gang Replaced my out of sight and fucked up dad Played in a park laced with broken glass Mama fed eight with her welfare stash Sisters got raped OG's got merked China white laid mad bodies in the dirt Project blues It wasn't easy to smile here Thugs and killers Hustled dollars and death here And all these folks were just trying get by And all these folks just prayed to stay alive One more day one day at a time Hope ain't easy when you struggle for dimes Brothers trying to eat moved weight on streets Three and half years for holding heat Living street life ain't meant for the weak Man I feel blessed to just to breathe Every breath I take Is a sign that I'm winning I've been thinking back To the kills and the killing Could've been a stat In a plot or a prison Now I'm feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living This life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living In the life Surrounded by scavengers Trying get a bite For every good brother There's five that are vile That'll take you out To get on top of the pile And if you got a brain Then you're labeled a threat Eyes of the jakes Watching who drops next And knowing who to trust Man one never knows I saw the ones I put on Turn coat and be foes Selling out their souls For a higher rank Creeping in the shadows Ready with the shank Shitting on my name Spitting venomous cap Trying to get their trifling Names on the map Every day on my toes Every day had to fight Every day a chance I could lose my life Getting out alive from a devils nest Ain't a cakewalk Yeah I know I'm blessed Every breath I take Is a sign that I'm winning I've been thinking back To the kills and the killing Could've been a stat In a plot or a prison Now I'm feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living This life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Every breath I take Is a sign that I'm winning I've been thinking back To the kills and the killing Could've been a stat In a plot or a prison Now I'm feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living This life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living The roads I took could've broke me down Took a lot of faith just to turn it around Leaning on my people to hold me down And up above water when I thought I'd drown And I turned right when I could've went left I had to wake up and redefine success Hating on myself didn't make no sense Shot for my goals with the confidence All the drugs that I smoked All the crimes I committed All the cuts that I took when the roads were wicked All the broken hearts Including my own The tears I caused mama when she wanted me home In all the darkness the light prevailed Had to show the beasts that I'm not for sale Had to learn each bump in the road is a test Through it all I know I'm blessed Every breath I take Is a sign that I'm winning I've been thinking back To the kills and the killing Could've been a stat In a plot or a prison Now I'm feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living This life that I'm living Oh yes Feeling blessed For this life that I'm living Life that I'm living
