Higher Power

Lyrics

[Verse: Riky Rick] Yeah Do I really feel alive? Only hustlin' to survive Feelin' lost because my daddy, never taught me how to drive So I had to start my journey, knowin' everybody dies Misdirected 'cause I'm runnin' with the tears still in my eyes Fearful of my little guy, growin' up and realising grown ups only tell you lies (Damn) Daddy leavin', mama why? She tellin' you it's fine I'm listenin' through the bathroom, all I hear is mama cryin' (Uh) My generation fucked, family going bust 'Cause our parents didn't know, having money ain't enough Fuck I'm talkin' 'bout? They was only doing it for us When you black and from my country, tryna makе it is a must So we sacrifice the lovе, just to make it out the dust He was such a happy boy, why the fuck he taking drugs? Chasing memories 'cause memories is who we thought we was (It's what we thought) If I die before my yungins are millionaires, tell 'em they did good but the system was never fair I was very lucky, I don't know how I took it there (No idea) (I don't know how I took it there) All I know is mama covered my pain Sat me down, held my hand, closed her eyes and she prayed (I didn't wanna believe it) (I didn't wanna believe it but this was work) (That's what work should be) (And it's still working) [Chorus: Lusanda] Wish it was easier to realise my dreams Wish I could take away the things I see in my sleep But it'll come soon, oh It'll be better than you know soon, soon Better than you know [Outro: Riky Rick] Like I said, I didn't wanna believe it, I didn't wanna believe it But when you start having as much success as me and my brothers have had And you start having as many blessings as me and my brothers have had You start realizing that there must be a Higher power There must be something else working It can't just be you It's not 'cause you talented, it's not 'cause you got money The blessings is coming from somewhere else, man No ways, no ways, no ways I remember sleeping at Les' crib And thinking to myself every night before I went to sleep "What the hell am I doing with my life?" I need to go get a job, I need to go do something 'Cause this music shit is not gonna work out for me It's worked out for a lot of people around me But for me, it might just not be my destiny And that nigga looked me in the eyes and said "You gotta keep going because there's Something special that's gonna happen for you" And it did happen, it did But one thing I realised through this whole journey is that I've never taken a moment to celebrate and look back on everything that we've done All the mountains that we've had to climb All the dragons we had to slay All the demons we had to conquer Some of which are still there My homie used to say "It's a beautiful thing" It's a beautiful thing Rest in peace to all the brothers and sisters that we've lost on the way We miss you, you'll forever be in our hearts
