[Verse 1]
Let's take it back it to 1992
Southside chi
Mama’s sunshine
Even though I'm about black as blue (like days)
But we still hold it down like glue
Let's take it back it 2002
Daddy left I
I swear I ain't cry
I swear I'm lying
The pain is real true
But you a fucking man
So what you gon’ do
One day boy you gonna be somebody
You'll realize you don't need yo daddy
So I had to cook my own plan now
Grew up to see the shit don't pan out
I understand that we all got problems
But fuck who says we can't be nobody
And for them hard days I thank the drugs
But first thank God for unconditional love
[Chorus]
How blessed am I (aye)
I gotta testify (uhh)
How blessed am I (aye)
I gotta testify (ohh)
If you only knew I’ve been
To hell and back and still I Iive
How blessed am I (aye)
I gotta testify
Ooohh oooo
I've been searching
For my purpose
Oooo ooo
But am I worth it...
Lord have mercy
[Verse 2]
And the government ain't tryna pay so
I got family selling yayo
Block so hot for the queso
That's why Chi-beria but like San Diego
HOT HOT HOT
Gotta make more
Dirty money Sammy can’t take no
Murder rate high gotta lay low
We live life less, so we just gotta pray more
Fuck police don't wanna save nobody
Maybe cause a nigga ain't no whitey
They don’t care that I went college
So fuck my silence I'm speaking out on it
I'm supposed to move grams like mama’s mama
So they looking at me like I'm a goner
Hit me a lick, sell me a drug
Then thank the lord for unconditional love
[Chorus]
How blessed am I (aye)
I gotta testify (uhh)
How blessed am I (aye)
I gotta testify (ohh)
If you only knew I’ve been
To hell and back and still I Iive
How blessed am I (aye)
I gotta testify
Ooohh oooo
I've been searching
For my purpose
Oooo ooo
But am I worth it...
Lord have mercy
