[Hook]
And I'm still giving blessings to the ghetto
I give it up to God, cause a lair is the devil
I give it up for y'all, cause we trying and we special
I promise we gon' make it, f** what anybody tell you
[Verse 1]
And I'm still giving blessings to the ghetto
Who moved you out the way when them n***as came to stretch you
Who told you hit a block when the cops was possed to 'rest you
I give it up for y'all, cause we trying and we special
Who knows when God will bless you, who knows when you fall
Into the plans of the lying-a** hands of the devil
It's hard for a rebel, especially when it's snakes
In the gra** and they coming for that a** tryna get you
We on another level, I'm smoking in the garden
Pa**ing hella trees to my Eve and she gorgeous
Chicago, New Orleans to Detroit to be more
That b**h Sally selling more than shells by the seashore
Just look out for the detour, while you on your path
The history depends on how well you do the math
My n***as, this 300 thousand year-old rap
I wrote this song on the walls of Lalibela, now I'm back, amen
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
We give ghetto blessings more than you even know, ya feel me
Real n***as don't die, so you can never k** me
n***as in robes can judge me but only God can grill me
I'm guilty, a sinner tryna make it out this hellhole
I'm Charles Oakley in the paint throwing elbows
Jus tryna make it in this big town of failed goals
Gangbangers, dead kids, they'll merk you for your cell phone
Searching for our own slice of Americana
The type of problems you can't ease marijuana
But yet and still a n***as getting higher
Who guided you the right way to make it thru the fire
The lamb of God the shepard of souls
f** you talking 'bout b**h, I'm flowing straight from the survival scroll
This 300 thousand year-old rap
I wrote the song on the walls of pyramids, now I'm back, amen
[Hook]
