i've been left here one

in the ? slum
i ? used to hunt for my food like wolves hunt sheeps
from the whole to the project learned to slap box cause i couldn't take the disrespect

monalisa for a date on friday, she hears i was .. and she said go away, go away
but god blessed the child, i could have been a juvenile
yeap, but that's my cousin crack,

and that's me with the black and white ? wraps
and the words became rare, and i gotta ?
and i went from last to first, i bought 80 on the ?


god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own

god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own


would god bless cause the streets is hard
pray for, living in the world we only see the sours
smoking mirrors, the ? statue won't ?

so who make it out or who sees the bars, the slum
only a few make it out to see the cars
a whole recruit make it out don't see the bars

then wyclef is on tour with the fugees
i was ? boys in the hood you can't force the movies
thought i was hard %#@! when bought the coop

i was down in the tunnel when i water goof
i was the ice broke ? on the sweater
? this loving (*##$ wait before manner

just spending all my chips on the softest leathers
i told my !@$@s meet them at the crossroads
? i'ma see our best sports go

more money ?more phones
%#@! i ain't scared of you $$^^*&s
you funny !@$@s like ? i do something till you say !@$@ turn around


god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own

god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own


it's much deeper than a rap song
think it's sweet until this beef is getting clapped on
i've seen sweet dreams turn in nightmares, freddie cooper

i watch street dreams turn in life years
you can hear the last screams when they cry tears
now i take my whole team and we fly less

if it's new york then we're up town
california sport ? touchdown
i'm getting money with the call of fame

it was right before ? call my name
backing out the telly wheels in reverse
she had the telly slip his own heels in the purse

i put it in the cab and deal it with a ?
it's the least that caught a mill?
this %#@! they follow me like i'm ?

they must have got fat ?like?
forget it erase your profile my block appearance
and i always ran the streets i had absent parents

and every night we pray to the sky
in the hood where is 9 million waste of ?


god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own

god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own

god bless the child that can hold his own
god bless the child that can hold his own.
