| Lyrics: | Intro/Chorus
It goes: life difficult times and mad crimes
Some pay the price
while others refine
Blessed are those who struggle God loves you
And Wisdom is
the principle thing for Kings and Queens
(repeat 2X)
Many alliance will end it's
like a sad song
from a violin trapped like Daniel's in the Lion's Den
Tryin to pie
rce the iron skin of Leviathan
Souls blowin in the violent winds
God help us, if we
die in sign, I hear the trials
in the cries of men, that's when the riot begins
Like
things never get better, we forever
servin Ebekenezer, since the days of our ancestors
Slaves to a mad pleasure, building great architectures
Sharp dressers, smart
professors
Start my lecture, I build lyrics like a art director
Show it to you like
the film projector
Blessed are those who struggle, from day to day we all hustle
Comin home with sore muscles, and scarred faces
Scuffed knuckles, we all share the same
trouble
Seperated couples, sometimes it seem like
there's no escapin, the clutches
of Satan
Spendin years in state pens, awaitin patient
Dreams of a scholarship, ended
by a hollowtip
Politics and number slip
Chorus
Once, shoved in ships, now we
Bloods and Crips
Thugs with clips, niggaz who love the clicks
Hit the clubs and
shit, so they can rub their hips
Hugs and flicks, niggaz with drugs and whips
Cash
Rules this Rotten Apple, they got a worm in it
Corrupt sinners, in my man's jeep
with the windows tinted, sippin Guinness
Observin all the clinics, and liquor spots
They make me lick a shot through the rooftop
I never seen the glory
In the ghetto
it's the same story
Ciggarette butts and cold coffee, black faces
and white mouths,
they cry out, for the White House
Ain't no wealth shared, it's welfare
and poor
health care, self scared
It's senseless, the way they got our black princess
on
public assistance to end our existence
Chorus
It's a blessing... to struggle
It's a blessing...
(repeat 2X)
Yeahhyeahhh, it's a blessing, just a blessing
It's a blessing... *fades |
