God Given

God Given

{“My grandmother told me before she died to always be forgiving. She said who are we to hold in bondage.. when God didn’t hold us in bondage. You feel me? Let’s go.”}

All this talent is God given
Facade driven fantasies of who they wanna be
And I feel it
In this house with like 9 children
We tried living
But realized that the hood was here to deny healing
We try building despite the fact that we destitute
But my resolve is so resolute
I just elocute
And hope these words take a nigga off the curb
Put my momma in the burbs
Take my niggas off them shirts
I Hope the children see my work
And know that they can be the first
First to college first to knowledge first to make a million dollars
First to take it from they city
First to sit in Benihana’s
Make it right before they eyes
When you coming from the bottom it’s a whole different feeling
I ain’t get em but I got em
“Where you from nigga?”
I don’t gang bang I let my chain hang
Legend on my chest above my vest I gotta maintain
Really from the struggle tho
Got it off the muscle bro
Everybody from my block been shot so I feel comfortable
Half my niggas didn’t make it
Other half is in them cages
I just put this pen to pages hoping I can place in greatness

[HOOK]
God given
I fly different
This God willing
Me into a better life where I defy limits
Where I’m living
In my eyes the most high chilling
Respect these blessings cuz they God given

My mama prayed for me and saved my life
Cuz God knows another strike Im a do the rest of life
Now look we moving right
Be a student of yo life
Can’t nobody be you better than you that’s true advice
And when you feel like you can’t make it
Play this song
Practice patience it won’t take too long
Look
I hope you imitate my cadence
Look to me for inspiration
Cuz thru it all I’m still the greatest
I just felt I had to say it

[HOOK]
God given
I fly different
This God willing
Me into a better life where I defy limits
Where I’m living
In my eyes the most high chilling
Respect these blessings cuz they God given
