Blessed - Kendrick Lamar (肯德里克·拉马尔)

What it's like for a ni**a like me

Livin' out his backpack every night needin' a new place to sleep

But this is now ni**a

Ones for the money two for the b**ches

Three to get ready cause I feel I finally did it

Four's for the jealous rapper mad because he finished

Turn that motherf**ker to a critic

Man I got so much sh*t up on my plate dawg

I was hangin' on them corners late

Pockets wasn't straight b**ch

I ain't gon' make it at this rate dawg

Know what I'm sayin'

Ni**a prayin' up to God just hopin' that he hear a ni**a

I know the world got more problems and it's much bigger

But I figured I'd get some sh*t up off my chest

To all my niggas I would die for

Load my pistol up go out and war for

To all my niggas that'll never make it out the streets

F**k it keep goin' hard don't let 'em see you weak

To all my niggas first time steppin' in the pen

Read a book and exercise keep your spirit in

To all my niggas that's gon' f**k around and die today

Take our hats off bow our heads and let us pray

Just wanna say

Stay blessed my ni**a blessed my ni**a

Really think about it could be worse my ni**a

Don't stress my ni**a yes my ni**a

We all blessed my ni**a

Stay blessed my ni**a blessed my ni**a

Really think about it could be worse my ni**a

Don't stress my ni**a yes my ni**a

We all blessed my ni**a

Now how the f**k I'm 'posed to say this

You see my ni**a just lost his son while I'm here huggin' on my daughter

I grip her harder

Kiss her on the head as I cry for a bit

Thinkin' of some b******t to tell him like

It'll be okay You'll be straight it'll be aight

Well f**k that sh*t whatever you need yo I got it

Whether it's money or some w**d or puttin' in work f**k it then I'm ridin'

You know wassup but now a ni**a couldn't stick around

Told myself that after y'all moved that I'd be a f**kin' fool

To be livin' by the street rules

F**k police tattoos that happens when you ditch school

But anyway keep the faith stay strong brah

Remain' solid brah

Keep playin' ball cause it's the only way up out it brah

A ni**a proud of ya

Tell Floyd to enjoy his newborn seed I'll have whatever he needs

We the last of a dyin' breed live life smoke trees

See how far we've come but most I'm sorry for your son

And you ain't gotta shed no tear

I'll be everywhere

And I'm a always be right here

I ain't forgot those years

I'll be everwhere

But I'm a always be right here

Livin' in a premature place wait

Never grow to see the pearly gates break

Every time a bullet detonate dates

Of obituary carry crates of a scary picture

With a family member that relate to ya

In December you was finna pin another case

On your record in a stolen Expedition play it safe

As the record spinnin' you was hearin' angels entertain

Every pun intended that was wicked comin' from your brain

Recognize you listened and you didn't hit the block again

That's because the minute after you had moved you would be slain

Open up another chapter in the book and read 'gain

Story of a gun-clapper really tryna make a change

Everybody ain't

Yes my ni**a you're blessed

Take advantage do your best my ni**a

Don't stress you was granted everything inside this planet

Anything you imagine you possess my ni**a

You reject these niggas that neglect your respect

For the progress of a baby step my ni**a

Step step my ni**a

One two skip skip

Back back look both ways

Pull it off the hip

Blast at anybody say that you can't flip

This crack into rap music every other zip is a track

Get used to it get it off quick

Come back give back to the city you've built

That's that don't trip see money f**k niggas dawg

It ain't nothin' but a bunch of f**k niggas dawg

In a minute everybody gon' be winnin'

Put a little faith in it then recognize that we all
