Killah Priest - Blessed Are Those Lyrics
Intro/chorusIt goes: life, difficult times, and mad crimesSome pay the price, while others refineBlessed are those who struggle -- God loves youAnd wisdom is the principle thing for kings and queens(repeat 2x)Many alliance will end, its like a sad songFrom a violin, trapped like daniels in the lions denTryin to pie-rce the iron skin, of leviathanSouls blowin in the violent windsGod help us, if we die in sign, I hear the trialsIn the cries of men, thats when the riot beginsLike things never get better, we foreverServin ebekenezer, since the days of our ancestorsSlaves to a mad pleasure, building great architecturesSharp dressers, smart professorsStart my lecture, I build lyrics like a art directorShow it to you like the film projectorBlessed are those who struggle, from day to day we all hustleComin home with sore muscles, and scarred facesScuffed knuckles, we all share the same troubleSeperated couples, sometimes it seem likeTheres no escapin, the clutches of satanSpendin years in state pens, awaitin patientDreams of a scholarship, ended by a hollowtipPolitics and number slipChorusOnce, shoved in ships, now we bloods and cripsThugs with clips, niggaz who love the clicksHit the clubs and shit, so they can rub their hipsHugs and flicks, niggaz with drugs and whipsCash rules this rotten apple, they got a worm in itCorrupt sinners, in my mans jeepWith the windows tinted, sippin guinnessObservin all the clinics, and liquor spotsThey make me lick a shot through the rooftopI never seen the gloryIn the ghetto its the same storyCiggarette butts and cold coffee, black facesAnd white mouths, they cry out, for the white houseAint no wealth shared, its welfareAnd poor health care, self scaredIts senseless, the way they got our black princessOn public assistance to end our existanceChorusIts a blessing... to struggleIts a blessing...(repeat 2x)Yeahhyeahhh, its a blessing, just a blessingIts a blessing... *fades*
