Blessing

[Verse 1] Damn I really gotta thank you my friend You were the only one that cared for me till the end And then you looked out, you came up and did time I can't believe I almost missed you that lunch time When I usually give you money cause you starving Haven't had a meal in 3 days, it's just starting It's sad to see cause you were my brother A peaceful man with a conscience like no other But that's life I guess in all angles, not just the positive side of it And that's the side effects that you get, when you got a few people to protect And that's everything I wished for had to respect And it's funny how the world changed up When I met that girl Louisa in the big black truck, oh what? First thing that caught my eye was that butt Shaking it around with that sexy ass lil strut But then I saw you were alot deeper then that One of the reasons I even started to rap And it's crazy cause I never had respect for a woman You changed my view when I was a part of that Sermon And I never was religious either Mr "I don't give a fuck", just bumping that Ether, Really deep inside I needed change I was eager You taught me things no one else would see important But I thank you for some things I couldn't really afford it [Hook] Only got one life to live, live it the best you can Whether you a family man or a kid Anything that comes together is a blessing, it's a blessing right Ma its a blessing right? [Verse 2] Everything was fine until that lil thing happened Outside your house when we were just rapping I don't needa tell you anymore cause you already know Took my keys, I started going at you, dissing you slow Then that magic word slipped, called you a bitch and my whole world split In like 2 pieces, can't believe I let that shit happen at Reeses But what the fuck is there left for me to do? It's not that easy to get my stuff and just leave Feeling ashamed, saying goodbyes I don't believe It had to come to this but my path was real rocky Changed everything up, had to conceal my body I did what was best for any person to do I left you and picked up a book on hip hop Interestingly enough, it got me to the top It got me to reflecting, why I ain't half-stepping Like Big Daddy Kane said a few years ago Yes, we should really just fucken follow our goals And everybody would be better off Then be stuck in this maze, for days just really going off Fuck a Molotov, I'll just throw myself in the riot Struggle with my inner ideas I gotta be trying it And everybody telling me how we die sometimes But it's stupid talking about that, when you're young it flies
