BLESSED Lyrics

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
