bless you

Bless You, Lord
Keep me in a safe place, lead me when I feel far away
Bless You, Lord
When I don t know where, when I don t know where to turn
Bless You, Lord
I pray and I pray, faithfully call it right out
Bless You, Lord
He will not go without me
Bless You, Lord

Uh, I m blessed, I know it (Yeah)
Could ve went left, I know it (Yeah)
I saw my brother, he layin there lifeless
Only God know where he goin (Woo)
Life is a gamble, I m learnin to dice it
You gon get cut up however you slice it
Talked to the Lord, if He told me
that it s alright (Bless You)
I still walk in the dark, I m a risk taker
Seen my brother go down over big faces
Lawyers hittin my phone over big cases
Gave my life to the dark, I was nocturnal
Mama said, Change, I was not turnin
So full of trauma, it s not funny
It s some things that I done
I can not stomach, it s alright (Bless You, Lord)

Yeah, it s not accidental
Texas to Chi Town, I hopped in that rental
O-Block to K-Town, I rolled instrumentals
I m walkin through blocks where they clutchin they pistols
Me and my lady was duckin in Memphis
Shootouts and murders, we prayed through the trenches
They think I do this to sell my lil tickets
They wasn t round when we went on them missions (Bless You)
Walkin through prisons
I gave em life even after the sentence
I don t want money, just pay me attention
Already loved, what s a like or a mention?
I don t play games, I just play my position
Been to Saint-Quentin
I walk the yard out in Sternum by Denver
Filled with the Spirit, I m prayin with killers
I told em I know bout a God
who forgive em (Bless You, Lord)
I got the joy of the Lord in my system
I lost my cousin, but still got his memories
They took his life, but they can t take his spirit
I ve been through too much to be worried bout a critic
I know He love me in spite of my sinnin
I m not independent, I m leanin on wisdom
I need intervention, I m pleadin the fifth
Cause these demons be snitchin
like Jesus ain t with me (Bless You, Lord)

I pray and I pray, faithfully call it right out
Bless You, Lord

Uh, I m blessed, I know it (Yeah)
Could ve went left, I know it (Yeah)
I saw my brother, he layin there lifeless
Only God know where he goin (Woo)
Life is a gamble, I m learnin to dice it
You gon get cut up however you slice it
Talked to the Lord, if He told me
that it s alright (Bless You)
I still walk in the dark, I m a risk taker
Seen my brother go down over big faces
Lawyers hittin my phone over big cases
Gave my life to the dark, I was nocturnal
Mama said, Change, I was not turnin
So full of trauma, it s not funny
It s some things that I done
I can not stomach, it s alright (Bless You, Lord)

It s some things that I did
that the devil said, Boopie
you can not come back from it
I m supposed to be feelin the hurt
this what I deserve, instead He came back for me
Yeah, my mama, she kept us in church
but it was too easy to end up with crack money
So I started to empty my Apple computer
to rap while my cousin was Mac dumpin
Got it jumpin like you seen a rat runnin through the crib
He paid for my sin and was payin the bills
I wasn t signin no label
when I kept on askin God to make me a deal
Can t be big-headed, the King gave His life
for a price that I couldn t afford, you hear me?
Come to my church on a Sunday
I m settin up chairs and wrappin up cords, you hear me?
Keep me in Your presence
don t let this fame get me
and I barter my heart of a martyr
I won a Dove for my brother
but it won t compare to me dippin
lil bro in that water (Bless You, Lord)

Keep me in a safe place, lead me when I feel far away
Bless You, Lord
When I don t know where, when I don t know where to turn
Bless You, Lord, bless You, Lord
Keep me in a safe place, lead me when I feel far away
Bless You, Lord
When I don t know where, when I don t know where to turn
Bless You, Lord
