เนื้อเพลง Benediction (Explicit)

Benediction - August Alsina

Started off in the streets

 

We would take collection

from the fiends

 

People dyin' all around me

 

So I gave you my testimony

 

We were down from the beginnin'

 

When the world wasn't listenin'

 

Now that I got your attention

 

Let us in with the benediction

We are gathered here today

Paying our respects to bein' broke,

hope he's in a better place

'Cause life out here ain't sweet, oh no

I would close my eyes to sleep

but didn't dream no more

So I had to make a way

for my home, you know

Now I'm in a place where

I ain't gotta scheme no more

The good life, I'm done

with the hood life

I did what I could

but didn't always do

what I should and

I was misunderstood

 

So many nights I tried

To hide how I felt,

I would cry inside

And I ran through the streets

till my feet got tired

'Cause I ain't wanna have

my shoes on them power lines

But I made it, and it made me

 

I know I did wrong,

I prayed to God he forgave me

 

'Cause I made it,

and it didn't kill me

So it made me stronger,

I pray to God that you feel me,

that you feel me

 

Started off in the streets

 

We would take collection

from the fiends

 

People dyin' all around me

 

So I gave you my testimony

 

We were down from the beginnin'

 

When the world wasn't listenin'

 

Now that I got your attention

 

Let us in with the benediction

Our father who art in heaven

I pray you free me from

my demons and keep me level

I know you kept my out of prison

where I was headin'

When I heard someone

killed my brother,

one-eighty-seven

I hope he made it

to your presence,

for me he was a blessin'

At least I know he's restin'

and he ain't out here stressin'

Tryna get to the good life,

and out of this hood life

I pray that my step-pops

stay off that crack pipe

So mama could sleep at night,

I know it's been hard on her

I was ripping through the streets,

it was hard for her

 

Now I'm up in hotels

on the ocean shore

When I was sleepin'

on the floor at the corner store

But I made it, and it made me

I know I did wrong,

I prayed to God he would save me

 

'Cause I made it,

 

it didn't kill me

So it made me stronger,

I pray to God that you feel me,

that you feel me

 

Started off in the streets

 

We would take collection

from the fiends

 

People dyin' all around me

 

So I gave you my testimony

 

We were down from the beginnin'

 

When the world wasn't listenin'

 

Now that I got your attention

 

Let us in with the benediction

Bottle after bottle,

snatching Belaire out the bucket

Rightin' all my wrongs

for these homies out here thuggin'

Pray for benediction,

pretty women on my premise

Condo out in Cabo,

screaming "GABOS" to my nemesis

Gold around my neck

I'm ballin' for these final minutes

Nothing lasts forever,

for these sins I seek repentance

 

Shots fired, another gone,

I feel that man's pain

 

Daddy sat me down and said:

"that came with the game"

Shake my head,

roll up the window,

turnin' up the music

So much anger in these songs

for these soldiers that we losin'

A mastermind is one

who's feedin' others off his talent

I owe it to my city

but it's time I pay my balance

I'm in Holyfield's estate,

I started with a pallet

I made my first tape,

I gave that shit to Khaled

Thankful for my supporters,

everyone that ever bought us

Grateful for every lesson

these by any streets taught us

 

Started off in the streets

 

We would take collection

from the fiends

 

People dyin' all around me

 

So I gave you my testimony

 

We were down from the beginnin'

 

When the world wasn't listenin'

 

Now that I got your attention

 

Let us in with the benediction
