Phora - God lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse] 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 they'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'd have seen cats bag up d** and slang to their own son This sh** ain't no fun They're carrying heaters cause they got cold blood They'll never see me weak and I won't run Got to 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 going to 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 going to 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 trying to 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 Went 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'll 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 trying to k** me, they really tried to 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 should've died that night Three shots from a .45 went through my ride that night Hit me two inches from my spine, I could've been paralyzed Guess you can say that Destiny was by my side that night I should've died that night Three shots from a .45 went through my ride that night Hit me two inches from my spine, I could've 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 try, 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 could've put that bullet through my head But dawg, legends never die I said legends never die, I just want to be remembered They can k** me, but that'll only mean I'll live forever I said legends never die, I just want to be remembered They can k** me, but that'll only mean I'll live forever Motherf**er
