Artist: BJ the Chicago Kid f/ Kendrick Lamar Album: Pineapple Now-Laters Song: His Pain II Typed by: newos_crib_is@hotmail.com "This is the way I feel" [Kendrick Lamar] Yesterday my nigga had told me his brother died A day before that his homeless uncle was cold outside A week before he seen the cancer in his mother's eyes Two weeks before that, couldn't pay his rent cause he lost his job A month before that he lost the custody of his daughter Six months before that her mother said she won't see her father And this before he did a year when them charges was brought up I shook my head, turned around, then found a hundred dollars [Chorus 1: Kendrick Lamar] *2X* I don't know why he keep blessing me I don't know why he keep blessing me I don't know why he keep blessing me I don't know why he keep blessing me I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why [Kendrick Lamar] Yesterday I invaded privacy of a home The day before that my partner had fronted me a zone A week before I had loaded bullets inside that chrome Two weeks before that I shot them bullets and he was gone A month before that I cursed my mother then slammed the door Six months before that I hit my woman, she hit the floor I stormed out, then seen a black Honda Accord Them hollow tips missed me, then hit that little boy [Chorus 1: Kendrick Lamar] *2X* [Kendrick Lamar] So today I laid in my bed, stared at the ceiling Closed my eyes, then asked myself how I was feeling I analyzed on how a saint can play the villain Is my life coincidental or just God willing? I came to grips, jumped up, looked out the window Seen my nigga had that same little boy that didn't know Bullets is nameless, I guess this was meant for me to give him a hundred dollars then trash my pistol [Chorus 2: Kendrick Lamar] Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why, now I know why, now I know why Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why he keep blessing me Now I know why, now I know why [Kendrick Lamar] + (BJ the Chicago Kid) So I can bless you (you, you, you, you) So I can bless you (you, you, you, you) So I can bless you (you, you, you, you) Yeah, you (you) [BJ the Chicago Kid] Lord help me, cause I need you I know this weed is burning, and I'm on drink number two But it's all to soothe the pain from this cold, cold world Sometimes I think you can help me (help me) But this bus here is temporary, so I'm talking to you This sick world will drive a sane man crazy (Dead birds dropping out the sky) daughters having their father's babies And this the news I hear when I got kids, nieces and nephews turn a year I wonder, will it get better? A little cheddar when it get better? But the rest of that's cash Make last year's Christmas gift be my bad [Chorus 3: BJ the Chicago Kid] *2X* But somehow you keep blessing me But somehow you keep blessing me But somehow you keep blessing me But somehow you keep blessing me But somehow, but somehow, but somehow [BJ the Chicago Kid] Ohhhhhh, yeahhhh Somehow you keep blessing me Ohhhh, yeah-yeah-yeah If I just keep the faith, yeah-yeah I know you'll be right there Sometimes it may not seem that you are there But you're there, I feel you're there, you're everywhere And I thank you for protecting me in these streets from danger seen and unseen I never know what happened the night I wasn't there Something told me leave, so I left It was the next morning, three got shot after the club All listening to that small voice, oh you saved my life
