[Phora]
God gives the toughest battles to the strongest of his people
Just make sure you good with karma when it meets you
It's evil, it'll haunt you, it'll eat you
It'll take away your peace of mind and blind you and deceive you
Never let 'em get to your soul
Cause we all got a place in this world
We just might not know where to go
See, I'm here for a reason
And I'm right where I'm supposed to be
And all I know is that God is watching over me
Look, this life's a blessing for real
Jesus on my necklace, man the pressure is real
Ambulance and gunshots, ghetto bird on my block
Can't even trust the cops, they don't protect, they just k**
So pops told me, pack a weapon for real
Cause the world is cold and it'll never respect how you feel
I know exactly what he meant when he said jealously k**s
As I try to take a breath, but I feel like I'm choking on my own blood
Sick of these streets cause they show us no love
I'da seen cats bag up d** and slang to they own son
This sh** ain't no fun
They carrying heaters cause they got cold blood
They'll never see me weak and I won't run
Gotta watch my back every motherf**ing day
At the same time never look back and look for a way to make it out these streets
Yeah, some people never make it out these streets
And they shooting at me, felt like a nightmare
Never understood why these cowards just couldn't fight fair
Always need a weapon, but this life is such a blessing
They pull the trigger, my guardian angel was sitting right there
You don't believe in God? Explain this, they k**ed my a** twice
And I still lived and all it did was make me famous
And appreciate life in ways I couldn't explain
Bullet in my head a few inches away from my brain
Homie I'm blessed to be alive and still breathing
But what's it gonna take to show these people that I'm here for a reason?
I said I'm blessed to be alive and still breathing
But what's it gonna take to show these people that I'm here for a reason?
One o'clock in the morning, heading back home
Driving down the freeway, just me and my girl
Talking 'bout our future, talking 'bout life
Talking 'bout these places that we tryna be in this world
As I look to my left, I seen a car approaching from a distance
And all I heard was, pop-pop-pop, what? I'm tripping
Could this be a hit-man? They letting shots off
And ninety off the freeway and dipped as soon as it popped off
Bullets burning in the back of my neck
Blood leaking down my back
Windows shattered as I'm gasping for breath
Bullets scorching as it ran through my flesh
Heart pumping, blood rushing
Felt the adrenaline pa** through my chest
Thinking if I die tonight, they probably laugh at my d**h
But God has my back and that's why I'm blessed
I asked my girl if she was hit, but she was panicking
I checked her body, she was fine
But she seen I got shot and called the ambulance
Yeah, in the back of the ambulance
I just thought, are they following me?
Did someone set me up? Is somebody plotting on me?
They tryna k** me, they really tryna k** me again
Don't wanna die without saying bye to my mama, my friends
Only twenty years old living in this world, so cold
Hoping my family don't have to see me go
I'm in the hospital fighting to survive
Fighting to stay alive, doctors keep telling me not to close my eyes
They saying, "Stay with me. Deep breaths, just breathe."
In and out, out and in, veins filled with IVs
I closed my eyes, thought of the skies and the trees
Asked God to bless me just one more time
Almost dropped to my knees
Now I'm back up on my feet, I shoulda died that night
Three shots from a 45 went through my ride that night
Hit me two inches from my spine, I coulda been paralyzed
Guess you can say that Destiny was by my side that night
I shoulda died that night
Three shots from a 45 went through my ride that night
Hit me two inches from my spine, I coulda been paralyzed
Guess you can say that Destiny was by my side that night
Cause everybody wanna ride or die chick
But she the true meaning of ride or die
When them bullets went right through my whip
Cause she was by my side the night I got hit
And still riding with me till the day I die
See that's a wife, not a b**h
Just wanna see her happy, I'd give my life for that sh**
I'd take a 45, a 9, even a knife for that sh**
I know I wasn't perfect, we had our fights
But I'mma make things right cause we only got one life and that's it
But never let these cats take your peace of mind or your smile from you
No matter how hard they trying, no matter what they try to do
I'll always be right there to the side of you
We got the choice to be happy or not
The only one that can decide is you
But sometimes I'm mad at myself
Sometimes I ask these people questions I can answer myself
Sometimes I wish I could show these cats how I felt
But I know karma's a motherf**ing b**h and its gon' handle itself
Three people in my car that night, me, Destiny and God
Like why the Lord keep letting me survive?
I'm so blessed that I'm alive
But truth is they coulda put that bullet through my head
But dog legends never die
I said legends never die, I just wanna be remembered
They can k** me, but that'll only mean I'll live forever
I said legends never die, I just wanna be remembered
They can k** me, but that'll only mean I'll live forever motherf**er
