BLESSED

[Chorus:] Riding on a prayer that I made back when I was young in the middle of the hood Had a couple lil friends They ain’t ever do good Never did too much Always did what I could Know this life ain’t fair But this life still good I ain't got no complaints I'm blessed and I'm good Know this life ain’t fair But this life still good I ain't got no complaints I'm blessed and I'm good [Verse 1:] On a dark road Tryna get back home Got lost tryna find my faith I done lost myself tryna find myself Lost friends on the way had to put em in a grave Tryna twist my words, you done turned to a snake They done talked so much, it ain't ever make sense Thank God for the wake up It's a new day New start on this life Imma start with a prayer Thank you for the grace on my life I was putting up a fight Tryna run from ones who care Tryna make friends and amends with the wrong lil peers Had to cut loose from the affairs Pray you break every soul tie Every false lie Word curse Bind enemies put 'em in the dirt Praying that my cup overflows everytime I start pouring so the new gen never lose hope Amen I don’t wanna live everyday making same ole mistakes When I know I could really do better So much time but I never make time for the ones who really wanna know me better That’s on me So scared to give all that I have cause I’ve been so used in the past Guess that’s my fear I don’t wanna give in but I gotta give in when I’m down on my last [Pre-Chorus:] Riding on a prayer that I made back when I was young in the middle of the (uh yea) I was young in the middle of the (uh yea) I was young in the middle of the hood (yea) Riding on a prayer that I made back when I was young in the middle of the hood Had a couple lil friends They ain’t ever (uh) Had a couple lil friends They ain’t ever do good [Chorus:] Riding on a prayer that I made back when I was young in the middle of the hood Had a couple lil friends They ain’t ever do good Never did too much Always did what I could Know this life ain’t fair But this life still good I ain't got no complaints I'm blessed and I'm good Know this life ain’t fair But this life still good I ain't got no complaints I'm blessed and I'm good [Verse 2:] Everytime I look up I'm seeing new faces Been a pro homebody never seeing new places Been so long since I had myself My love, my peace, my home, my health Everybody holdin' on pain but they don't know why Lying to ya self that it ain't that bad Been so stuck in the past tryna get by Let it all die cause that ish don't last New friends tried to pop out Got em' shot down I don't trust no soul Can't nobody come 'round Gettin' lost in my head I ain't heard whatchu said You don't gotta repeat cause I don't really care Everybody got receipts Come and put em on the table I can flip every lie you can pull from the air I done lost all the trust and respect I done had for these kids No hate But I hope you stay blessed [Pre-Chorus:] Riding on a prayer that I made back when I was young in the middle of the (uh yea) I was young in the middle of the (uh yea) I was young in the middle of the hood (yea) Riding on a prayer that I made back when I was young in the middle of the hood Had a couple lil friends They ain’t ever (uh) Had a couple lil friends They ain’t ever do good [Chorus:] Riding on a prayer that I made back when I was young in the middle of the hood Had a couple lil friends They ain’t ever do good Never did too much Always did what I could Know this life ain’t fair But this life still good I ain't got no complaints I'm blessed and I'm good Know this life ain’t fair But this life still good I ain't got no complaints I'm blessed and I'm good
