This SONG made me cry - tears slipped out.
Kabb
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Yesterday my nigga had told me his brother died
A day before that his homeless uncle was cold outside
A week before he seen the cancer in his mother’s eyes
Two weeks before that, couldn’t pay his rent cause he lost his job
A month before that he lost the custody of his daughter
Six months before that her mother said she won’t see her father
And this before he did a year when them charges was brought up
I shook my head, turned around then found a 100 dollars
[Hook: Kendrick Lamar (x2)]
I don’t know why He keep blessing me
I don’t know why He keep blessing me
I don’t know why He keep blessing me
I don’t know why He keep blessing me
I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I don’t know why
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Yesterday I invaded privacy of a home
The day before that my partner had fronted me a zone
A week before I had loaded bullets inside that chrome
Two weeks before that I shot them bullets and he was gone
A month before that I cursed my mother then slammed the door
Six months before that I hit my woman, she hit the floor
I stormed out then seen a black Honda Accord
Them hollow tips missed me then hit that little boy
[Hook: Kendrick Lamar (x2)]
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
So today I laid in my bed, stared at the ceiling
Closed my eyes then asked myself how I was feeling
I analyzed on how a saint can play the villain
Is my life coincidental or just God willing
I came to grips, jumped up, and looked out the window
See my nigga had that same little boy that didn’t know
Bullets is nameless, I guess this is meant for
Me to give them a 100 dollars then trash my pistol
[Hook 2: Kendrick Lamar (x2)]
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why, now I know why, now I know why
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar and BJ the Chicago Kid]
So I can bless you
So I can bless you
So I can bless you
[Verse 4: BJ the Chicago Kid]
Lord help me
Cause I need You
I know this weed is burning
And I’m on drink number two
But it’s all to soothe the pain from this
Cold, cold world
Sometimes I think it can help me
But this buzz here is temporary
So I’m talking to You
This sick world will drive a sane man crazy
Dead birds dropping out the sky, daughters having their fathers’ babies
And this the news I hear
When my god kids, nieces, and nephews turn a year
I wonder will it get better
A little cheddar will make it better
But the risk of fast cash
Will make last year’s Christmas gift be my last
[Hook 3: BJ the Chicago Kid (x2)]
But somehow He keep blessing me
But somehow He keep blessing me
But somehow He keep blessing me
But somehow He keep blessing me
But somehow, but somehow, but somehow
[Verse 5: BJ the Chicago Kid]
If I just keep the faith
I know You’ll be right there
Sometimes it may not seem that You are there
But You’re there
I feel You’re there
You’re everywhere
And I thank You for
Protecting me in these streets
From danger seen and unseen
I never know
What happened the night
I wasn’t there
Something told me leave so I left
News the next morning
Three guys shot after the club
Awwhh listening to that small voice
Oh it saved my life
