[Intro] Bless You, Lord Keep me in a safe place, lead me when I feel far away Bless You, Lord When I don't know where, when I don't know where to turn Bless You, Lord I pray and I pray, faithfully call it right out Bless You, Lord He will not go without me Bless You, Lord [Chorus: Lecrae] Uh, I'm blessed, I know it (Yeah) Could've went left, I know it (Yeah) I saw my brother, he layin' there lifeless Only God know where he goin' (Woo) Life is a gamble, I'm learnin' to dice it You gon' get cut up however you slice it Talked to the Lord, if He told me that it's alright (Bless You) I still walk in the dark, I'm a risk taker Seen my brother go down over big faces Lawyers hittin' my phone over big cases Gave my life to the dark, I was nocturnal Mama said, "Change," I was not turnin' So full of trauma, it's not funny It's some things that I done, I can not stomach, it's alright (Bless You, Lord) [Verse 1: Lecrae] Yeah, it's not accidental, Texas to Chi Town, I hopped in that rental O-Block to K-Town, I rolled instrumentals I'm walkin' through blocks where they clutchin' they pistols Me and my lady was duckin' in Memphis Shootouts and murders, we prayed through the trenches They think I do this to sell my lil' tickets They wasn't 'round when we went on them missions (Bless You) Walkin' through prisons, I gave 'em life even after the sentence I don't want money, just pay me attention Already loved, what's a like or a mention? I don't play games, I just play my position Been to Saint-Quentin, I walk the yard out in Sternum by Denver Filled with the Spirit, I'm prayin' with killers I told 'em I know 'bout a God who forgive 'em (Bless You, Lord) I got the joy of the Lord in my system I lost my cousin, but still got his memories They took his life, but they can't take his spirit I've been through too much to be worried 'bout a critic I know He love me in spite of my sinnin' I'm not independent, I'm leanin' on wisdom I need intervention, I'm pleadin' the fifth 'Cause these demons be snitchin' like Jesus ain't with me (Bless You, Lord) [Bridge] I pray and I pray, faithfully call it right out Bless You, Lord [Chorus: Lecrae] Uh, I'm blessed, I know it (Yeah) Could've went left, I know it (Yeah) I saw my brother, he layin' there lifeless Only God know where he goin' (Woo) Life is a gamble, I'm learnin' to dice it You gon' get cut up however you slice it Talked to the Lord, if He told me that it's alright (Bless You) I still walk in the dark, I'm a risk taker Seen my brother go down over big faces Lawyers hittin' my phone over big cases Gave my life to the dark, I was nocturnal Mama said, "Change," I was not turnin' So full of trauma, it's not funny It's some things that I done, I can not stomach, it's alright (Bless You, Lord) [Verse 2: Torey D'Shaun] It's some things that I did that the devil said, "Boopie, you can not come back from it" I'm supposed to be feelin' the hurt, this what I deserve, instead He came back for me Yeah, my mama, she kept us in church, but it was too easy to end up with crack money So I started to empty my Apple computer to rap while my cousin was Mac' dumpin' Got it jumpin' like you seen a rat runnin' through the crib He paid for my sin and was payin' the bills I wasn't signin' no label when I kept on askin' God to make me a deal Can't be big-headed, the King gave His life for a price that I couldn't afford, you hear me? Come to my church on a Sunday I'm settin' up chairs and wrappin' up cords, you hear me? Keep me in Your presence, don't let this fame get me, and I barter my heart of a martyr I won a Dove for my brother, but it won't compare to me dippin' lil' bro in that water (Bless You, Lord) [Outro: Torey D'Shaun] Keep me in a safe place, lead me when I feel far away Bless You, Lord When I don't know where, when I don't know where to turn Bless You, Lord, bless You, Lord Keep me in a safe place, lead me when I feel far away Bless You, Lord When I don't know where, when I don't know where to turn Bless You, Lord
