August Alsina Benediction Lyrics
Benediction by August Alsina
Feat. Rick Ross
(Hook)
Started off in the streets
We would take collection from the fiends
People dying all aroud me, so I gave you my testimony
We were down from that gimmick
When the world was listening
I'm glad I got your attention, let her sing with the benediction
(Verse)
I pro'ly should rot in heaven, I'm glad you freed me from my daemons
And keeped me lovin', I know you kept me outta prison
Where I was headin', when I heard somebody killed my brother
187, I hope you made it to your present(?)
Put me here was a blessing, know he's resting
And he's not here stressin', tryna get to the good life
Now that it's hood life, I put in my (???)
I offer that crack pipe, so momma could sleep night
Know it was hard for her, (It was so hard)
I was wippin' thru the streets
It was hard for her (It was so hard)
Now I'm up on hotels, on the ocean shore
When I was sleeping on the floor at the corner store
But I made it, and that made me, I know I did wrong
I pray to God He would save me!
Cause I made it, it didn't kill me, so it made me stronger
Pray to God that you feel me, (that you feel me!)
(Hook)
Started off in the streets
We would take collection from the fiends
People dying all aroud me, so I gave you my testimony
We were down from that gimmick
When the world was listening
I'm glad I got your attention, let her sing with the benediction
(Verse)
Bottle after bottle, snatching belly out the bucket
Righting all my wrongs, these homies out here thuggin'
Pray for benediction, pretty women on my premise
Condo up in Gaboes, screaming Gabos to my nemes
(Hook)
