Killah Priest
Heavy Mental
Blessed Are Those
[Killah Priest]
Chorus: (2x)
It goes life, difficult times and mad crimes
Some pay the price while others refine
Blessed are those who struggle, God loves you
And wisdom is the principle thing for Kings and Queens
Many alliance will end, it's like a sad song from a violin
Trapped like Daniel's in the Lion's Den
Tryin to pierce the iron skin of Leviathan
Souls blowin in the violent winds
God help us if we die in sin
I hear the trials and the cries of men
That's when the riot begins
Like things never get better, we forever servin Ebekenezer
Since the days of our ancestors
Slaves to a mad pleasure, building great architectures
Sharp dressers, smart professors
I start my lecture, I build lyrics like a art director
Show it to you like the film projector
Blessed are those who struggle, from day to day we all hustle
Comin home with sore muscles and scarred faces
Scuffed knuckles, we all share the same trouble
Seperated couples
Sometimes it seem like there's no escapin the clutches of Satan
Spendin years in state pens, awaitin patient
Dreams of a scholarship, ended by a hollowtip
Politics and number slips
Chorus (2x)
Once shoved in ships, now we Bloods and Crips
Thugs with clips, niggaz who love the clicks
Hit the clubs and shit so they can rub their hips
Hugs and flicks, niggaz with drugs and whips
Cash rules this rotten apple, they got a worm in it
Corrupt sinners in my man's jeep with the windows tinted
Sippin Guinness observin all the clinics and liquor spots
They make me lick a shot through the rooftop
I never seen the glory
In the ghetto is the same story
Cigarette butts and cold coffee, black faces
And white mouths, they cry out for the White House
Ain't no wealth shared, it's welfare
And poor health care, self-scared
It's senseless the way they got our black princess
On public assistance to end our existance
Chorus (2x)
It's a blessing to struggle
It's a blessing
It's a blessing to struggle
It's a blessing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a blessing, such a blessing, it's a blessing
