Blessed Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

What it's like for a nigga like me 

Livin' out his backpack every night needed a new place to sleep 

But this is now, nigga! 

Ones for the money, two for the bitches 

Three to get ready cause I feel I finally did it 

Four's for the jealous rapper mad because he finished 

Turn that motherfucker to a critic 

Man, I got so much shit up on my plate dawg 

I was hangin' on them corners late 

Pockets wasn't straight, bitch 

I ain't gon' make it at this rate, dawg 

Know what I'm sayin'? 

Nigga prayin' up to God just hopin' that he hear a nigga 

I know the world got more problems and it's much bigger 

But I figured, I'd get some shit up off my chest 

To all my niggas I would die for 

Load my pistol up, go out and war for 

To all my niggas that'll never make it out the streets 

Fuck it, keep goin' hard, don't let 'em see you weak 

To all my niggas first time steppin' in the pen 

Read a book and exercise, keep your spirit in 

To all my niggas that's gon' fuck around and die today 

Take our hats off, bow our heads and let us pray 

Just wanna say

Stay blessed my nigga, blessed my nigga 

Really think about it, could be worse my nigga 

Don't stress my nigga, yes my nigga 

We all blessed my nigga 

Now how the fuck I'm 'posed to say this? 

You see, my nigga just lost his son while I'm here huggin' on my daughter 

I grip her harder 

Kiss her on the head as I cry for a bit 

Thinkin' of some bullshit to tell him, like 

"It'll be okay. You'll be straight, it'll be aight." 

Well, fuck that shit, whatever you need, yo, I got it! 

Whether it's money or some weed or puttin' in work, fuck it, then I'm ridin'! 

You know wassup, but now a nigga couldn't stick around 

Told myself that after y'all moved that I'd be a fuckin' fool 

To be livin' by the street rules 

Fuck police tattoos, that happens when you ditch school 

But anyway, keep the faith, stay strong brah 

Remain' solid brah 

Keep playin' ball cause it's the only way up out it, brah 

A nigga proud of ya' 

Tell Floyd to enjoy his newborn seed, I'll have whatever he needs 

Photos 

We the last of a dyin' breed, live life, smoke trees 

See how far we've come, but most, I'm sorry for your son 

And you ain't gotta shed no tear 

I'll be everywhere 

And I'mma always be right here 

I ain't forgot those years 

I'll be everwhere 

But I'mma always be right here 

Livin' in a premature place - wait 

Never grow to see the pearly gates - break 

Every time a bullet detonate - dates 

Of obituary carry crates of a scary picture 

With a family member that relate to ya 

In December you was finna pin another case 

On your record in a stolen Expedition, play it safe 

As the record spinnin' you was hearin' angels entertain 

Every pun intended, that was wicked, comin' from your brain 

Recognize you listened and you didn't hit the block again 

That's because the minute after you had knew you would be slain 

Open up another chapter in the book and read 'gain 

Story of a gun-clapper really tryna make a change 

Everybody ain't (blessed my nigga) 

Yes, my nigga, you're blessed 

Take advantage, do your best, my nigga 

Don't stress, you was granted everything inside this planet 

Anything you imagine, you possess, my nigga 

You reject these niggas, that neglect, your respect 

For the progress of a baby step, my nigga 

Step, step my nigga 

One, two, skip, skip 

Back, back, look both ways 

Pull it off the hip 

Blast at anybody say that you can't flip 

This crack into rap music every other zip is a track 

Get used to it, get it off quick 

Come back, give back to the city you've built 

That's that, don't trip, see money, fuck niggas, dawg 

It ain't nothin' but a bunch of fuck niggas dawg 

In a minute everybody gon' be winnin' 

Put a little faith in it then recognize that we all
