Bless My

By Irv Da Phenom Big Scoob
On album Dream Big Hustle Hard (2011)

[Chorus (2nd half)] (Irv)
We gotta pray that you bless my niggas
Cause it's like a war zone in this life we livin'
Tho we ain't livin' right, but God you know we tryin'
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?

[Verse 1] Irv Da Phenom
Feel like everybody 'round me dying
Everybody 'round me dryin' they eyes from tears they just cried
Why am I at another funeral?
I know you call the shots dear Lord, but why in my life has death become the usual?
Keep losin' friends and family, and now my mind, I think I'm fittin' to lose that too, and tho
All my niggas be out here livin' the street life, postin' on the block and be hustlin' under the street lights
Help us beat the odds and see what 25 be like, PLEASE
At least make it to 23
Every time I turn around, somebody gettin' shot or stabbed
I pray for your protection you can keep my section off the slabs
And out the cop cars
Help us to see the light
Real niggas ain't afraid of death but we prefer to be alive
Be here to provide
Be here to inspire
But that's only if you bless us with our lives

[Chorus] (Irv)
We gotta pray that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go I feel it's you go with us
Tho we ain't livin' right, but God you know we tryin'
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives
We gotta pray that you bless my niggas
Cause it's like a war zone in this life we livin'
Tho we ain't livin' right, but God you know we tryin'
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?

[Verse 2] Irv Da Phenom
2005 still got me shook, that's why I don't get close to people now
Think they'll be there but never know when they could leave you, I
Almost rather go without any friends than to help pick up a coffin again
I'm all alone now
Still be wantin' to call
I know you won't pick up the phone
Still ain't erased your number
Can't accept the fact you gone
And I swear that it hurtin' so bad
Every time I look at pictures and reminisce on the past
Had a smile on your face, every time I was with you
Ridin' if it's an issue, but never beefy with niggas
Remember when we got jumped you was next to me steepin' niggas?
And I'd go through it over again just to be with ya
To have you by our side, whole team united
Ink smearin' off the page, crying while I write this
Still thread set boy
I'ma see you in Heaven
While you rep it up there, we'll hold it down on 27th.

[Chorus] (Irv)
We gotta pray that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go I feel it's you go with us
Tho we ain't livin' right, but God you know we tryin'
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives
We gotta pray that you bless my niggas
Cause it's like a war zone in this life we livin'
Tho we ain't livin' right, but God you know we tryin'
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?

[Verse 3] Big Scoob
It's like I'm still here, but I don't know why
Thinkin' back on my peers, and I'm tryin' not to cry
I've been fighting many years, and the hood's my pride
But I'm tryin' to switch gears, tryna save a few lives
I'm a rider, and I rode, and I still will ride
I'm a villian til I die, nigga 56 high
But the pain's gettin' stronger, mental flicks last longer
And I'm still a gutta soldier, but ya boy's gettin' older
I've been singin' the same song for so many years
I done heard about a better way, show me what it is
Show me how to live
Show me where it is
I was raised in the Show Me State, show it to me then
Til then
I'ma travel down the path that was given
Can't win
Still can add up math while I'm livin'
All in
Til I meet my faith, got the present
Even then
This gutta livin' still gonna continya

[Chorus] (Irv)
We gotta pray that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go I feel it's you go with us
Tho we ain't livin' right, but God you know we tryin'
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives
We gotta pray that you bless my niggas
Cause it's like a war zone in this life we livin'
Tho we ain't livin' right, but God you know we tryin'
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?
