Killah Priest - Blessed Are Those lyrics

rate me

Intro/chorus

It goes: lifedifficult timesand mad crimes

Some pay the pricewhile others refine

Blessed are those who struggle -- God loves you

And wisdom is the principle thing for kings and queens

(repeat 2x)

Many alliance will endit's like a sad song

From a violintrapped like daniel's in the lion's den

Tryin to pie-rce the iron skinof leviathan

Souls blowin in the violent winds

God help usif we die in signI hear the trials

In the cries of menthat's when the riot begins

Like things never get betterwe forever

Servin ebekenezersince the days of our ancestors

Slaves to a mad pleasurebuilding great architectures

Sharp dresserssmart professors

Start my lectureI build lyrics like a art director

Show it to you like the film projector

Blessed are those who strugglefrom day to day we all hustle

Comin home with sore musclesand scarred faces

Scuffed knuckleswe all share the same trouble

Seperated couplessometimes it seem like

There's no escapinthe clutches of satan

Spendin years in state pensawaitin patient

Dreams of a scholarshipended by a hollowtip

Politics and number slip

Chorus

Onceshoved in shipsnow we bloods and crips

Thugs with clipsniggaz who love the clicks

Hit the clubs and shitso they can rub their hips

Hugs and flicksniggaz with drugs and whips

Cash rules this rotten applethey got a worm in it

Corrupt sinnersin my man's jeep

With the windows tintedsippin guinness

Observin all the clinicsand liquor spots

They make me lick a shot through the rooftop

I never seen the glory

In the ghetto it's the same story

Ciggarette butts and cold coffeeblack faces

And white mouthsthey cry outfor the white house

Ain't no wealth sharedit's welfare

And poor health careself scared

It's senselessthe way they got our black princess

On public assistance to end our existance

Chorus

It's a blessing... to struggle

It's a blessing...

(repeat 2x)

Yeahhyeahhhit's a blessingjust a blessing

It's a blessing... *fades*
