Yeah, one two

God gives the toughest battles to the strongest of his people
Just make sure you good with karma when it meets you
It's evil, it will haunt you, it will eat you
It will take away your peace of mind and blind you and decieve you
Never let 'em get to you soul
'Cause we all got a place in this world
We just might not know where to go
See, I'm here for a reason and I'm right where I'm supposed to be
And all I know is that God is watching over me
(All I know is that God is watching over me)

Look, this life's a blessing for real
Jesus on my necklace man the pressure is real
Ambulance and gunshots ghetto bird on my block
Can't even trust the cops they don't protect, they just kill
So pops told to me to pack a weapon, for real
'Cause the world is cold and they'll never respect how you feel
I know what exactly what he meant when he said jealousy kills
As I try to take a breath, but I feel

Like I'm choking on my own blood
Sick of these streets 'cause they show us no love
I done see cats bag up drugs and slang to they own son
This shit ain't no fun
They're carrying heaters 'cause they got cold blood
They'll never see me weak and I won't run

Gotta watch my back every motherfucking day
At the same time never look back
And look for a way to make it out these streets
Some people never make it out these streets

And they shooting at me, felt like a nightmare
Never understood why these cowards just couldnt fight fair
Always need a weapon but this life is such a blessing
They pulled the trigger my guardian angel was sitting right there
Y'all don't believe in God? Explain this
They killed my ass twice and I still lived and all it did was make me famous
And appreciate life in ways I couldn't explain
Bullet in my head a few inches from my brain

Homie I'm blessed to be alive and still breathing
But what's it gonna take to show these people that I'm here for a reason?
I said I'm blessed to be alive and still breathing
But what's it gonna take to show these people that I'm here for a reason?

One o'clock in the morning, heading back home
Driving down freeway, just me and my girl
Talking 'bout our future, talking 'bout life
Talking 'bout these places that we trying to be in this world
As I look to my left I seen a car aproaching from a distance
And all I heard was, pop-pop-pop
What? I'm tripping, can this be a hit? Man they letting shots off
Went 90 off the freeway and dipped as soon as it popped off

Bullets burning in the back of my neck
Blood leaking down my back
Windows shattered as I'm gasping for breath
Bullet scorching as it ran through my flesh
Heart pumping blood rushing
Felt the adrenaline pass through my chest

Thinking if I die tonight they'd probably laugh at my death
But God has my back and thats why I'm blessed
I asked my girl if she was hit but she was panicking
I checked her body she was fine
But she seen I got shot and called the ambulance

Yeah, in the back of the ambulance I just stopped
I just thought, "Are they following me?"
Did someone set me up?
Is somebody plotting on me?
They tried to kill me
They really tried to kill me again
Don't wanna die without saying bye to my mom or my friends

Only 20 years old living in this world so cold
Hoping my family don't have to see me go
I'm in the hospital fighting to survive, fighting to stay alive
Doctors keep telling me not to close my eyes
They saying stay with me deep breaths, just breath
In and out, out and in, veins filled with IVs
I closed my eyes, thought of the skies and the trees
Asked God to bless me just one more time
Almost dropped to my knees

Now I'm back up on my feet, I should've died that night
Three shots from a .45 went through my ride that night
Hit me two inches from my spine, I could've been paralyzed
Guess you can say that destiny was by my side that night

I should've died that night
Three shots from a .45 went through my ride that night
Hit me two inches from my spine, I could've been paralyzed
Guess you can say that Destiny was by my side that night

'Cause everybody wanna ride or die chick
But she the true meaning of ride or die
When them bullets went right through my whip
'Cause she was by my side the night I got hit
And still riding with me 'til the day I die
See, that's a wife, not a bitch

Just wanna see her happy, I'd give my life for that shit
I'd take a .45, a 9, even a knife for that shit
I know I wasn't perfect, we had our fights
But I'ma make things right 'cause we only got one life and that's it

But never let these cats take your peace of mind or your smile from you
No matter how hard they try, no matter what they try to do
I'll always be right there to the side of you
Got the choice to be happy or not
The only one that can decide is you

But sometimes I'm mad at myself
Sometimes I ask these people questions I can answer myself
Sometimes I wish I could show these cats how I felt
But I know karma's a motherfucking bitch and its gon' handle itself

Three people in my car that night
Me, Destiny, and God
Like, why the Lord keep letting me survive?
I'm so blessed that I'm alive
But truth is they could've put that bullet through my head
But dawg, legends never die

I said legends never die, I just want to be remembered
They can kill me, but that'll only mean I'll live forever
I said legends never die, I just want to be remembered
They can kill me, but that'll only mean I'll live forever
Motherfucker
