Bless the Child

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

They're watching down on you
They know just what you're dreaming
They're counting on you
They know you dream for them too

I had prophetic dreams, saw my nigga last night
Wish I could say poetic themes, conversations more like
Is you active up in Heaven? Haven't seen the hood in ages
'Member when niggas busted in, stole your Playstation
Sheesh, we reimagined our schemes
Played with wrestling figurines
Off the top our baller dreams
Life is such a balance beam
Baby boy, don't frown
Lil' nigga now a man 'cause his problems passed down
Sheesh, sunlight ripping through his fleece
Holes through his shadows had flowers blooming up in the streets
Got his wings, now heaven ain't so far from here
Only mama's whoopings and God we fear
The law ain't steer
Them from unpacking alla this hurt
Childish feelings revert
Bullet enter your right eye, exit your gut, berserk
Blasting now, praying that this shit is somehow gone work
Only healed heartache if my nigga hopped out the earth and said

They're watching down on you
They know just when you're dreaming
They're counting on you, they know
They know you dream for them too

I love you black, black, black, black, black
I love you black, black, black, black, black
Mama says say it back, back, back, back, back
I love you black, black, black, black, black
How do you react, -act, -act, -act, -act
You lost 'em to that, that, that, that, that
Can never bring em back, back, back, back, back
Oh I love you black, black, black, black, black
Now please say it back

Stupid nigga, you just do this for respect
Really, where was you when they put two inside of Tyler's chest?
This shit got you spiraling and you starting to regret
Not being more of a threat
'Cause then you could just protect
The ones you love and help then take down the stars
Niggas shoot long distance with such short sight
Watch them cut down a family tree in just one night
Pray you make it alright
Cause if I don't, God gone have to give me flight
Screaming "I feel alive, I feel alive"
Tonight we just ride
And if we survive
The sunset will be the warmest thing to touch our skin
Take your hands off those handlebars
Risk it all for your kin
Screaming "I feel alive, I feel alive"
And if we survive, then that mean that he gone die
Because we both can't thrive
I hate to be the one to deprive, but the prize
To be able to scream "I feel alive"
Goddamn
