August Alsina - Benediction lyrics

rate me

Feat. Rick Ross

(Hook)

Started off in the streets

We would take collection from the fiends

People dying all aroud me, so I gave you my testimony

We were down from that gimmick

When the world wasn't listening

I'm glad I got your attention, let her sing with the benediction

(Verse)

I pro'ly should rot in heaven, I'm glad you freed me from my demons

And keeped me lovin', I know you kept me outta prison

Where I was headin', when I heard somebody killed my brother

187, I hope you made it to your present(?)

To me he was a blessing, know he's resting

And he's not here stressin', tryna get to the good life

Now that it's hood life, I put in my (???)

I offer that crack pipe, so momma could sleep night

Know it was hard for her, (It was so hard)

I was wippin' thru the streets

It was hard for her (It was so hard)

Now I'm up on hotels, on the ocean shore

When I was sleeping on the floor at the corner store

But I made it, and that made me, I know I did wrong

I pray to God He would save me!

Cause I made it, it didn't kill me, so it made me stronger

Pray to God that you feel me, (that you feel me!)

(Hook)

Started off in the streets

We would take collection from the fiends

People dying all aroud me, so I gave you my testimony

We were down from that gimmick

When the world was listening

I'm glad I got your attention, let her sing with the benediction

(Verse)

Bottle after bottle, snatching belly out the bucket

Righting all my wrongs, these homies out here thuggin'

Pray for benediction, pretty women on my premise

Condo up in Gaboes, screaming Gabos to my nemes
