Kendrick Lamar - His Pain II lyrics
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] Yesterday, my n***a 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 hundred dollars [Hook: Kendrick Lamar] 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] [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] So today I laid in my bed, stared at the ceilin' Closed my eyes, then asked myself how I was feelin' I an*lyzed on how a saint can play the villain Is my life coincidental or just God willin'? I came to grips, jumped up, looked out the window See my n***a had that same little boy that didn't know Bullets is nameless, I guess this was meant for Me to give them a hundred dollars then trash my pistol [Hook 2: Kendrick Lamar] 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] But somehow You keep blessing me But somehow You keep blessing me But somehow You keep blessing me But somehow You 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
