[00:02.589] How much of the trauma did mama get? Ayy
[00:04.903] Way up to the highest level that drama gets, ayy
[00:07.881] Through the pain of my mother, heartache was on a display
[00:10.832] I don't want a sick day to my mama's dismay, ayy
[00:14.675] Thinking of all of it, I never wanted a part of it
[00:17.023] Remember I wanted to let go, when smoking, I managed to get low
[00:20.072] It coulda been worse, like when I was talking to homies on a cellular phone up on death row
[00:23.224] When I never had to serve a stretch so, I can still say "But I'm blessed, though"
[00:26.380] But why did I have to hear mama getting beat
[00:30.440] In third grade, so I couldn't really give him missing teeth?
[00:32.851] But I knew from grandma that what you sow you're gonna freakin' reap
[00:35.641] So he robbed a bank and got about 30 years in the pen' for the mission, peace
[00:38.835] Blessed to get away, but stressed to this day
[00:41.937] When checks hit a nay, no money, depressed and it's grey
[00:44.925] But the family didn't stutter to pull her and the kid inside their homes
[00:48.833] Sometimes it was butter and sugar sandwiches
[00:51.225] Graduated to healthy niggas
[00:52.565] Tryna protect this investment, moving like stealthy figures
[00:55.761] All that poverty and pain it really helped me give a damn
[00:59.098] It dealt me this killer jam, now wealthy I'm living grand, still, I felt these shivers
[01:03.606] And the cold nights living through all the stresses
[01:06.567] I'm feeling like I had a lifelong baby bib to protect me from messes
[01:09.690] Around my neck so I'm safe as far as threats go
[01:12.518] From the last row to the best flow, I can now say, "But I'm blessed, though"
[01:15.727] All of these things that get me down
[01:20.947] I know it's gotta be an upside now, found somewhere, yeah
[01:24.116] If I can't pick my face up off the ground
[01:33.192] And I don't know what's next, I holler, "But I'm blessed", woah
[01:40.123] And all of these things that get me down
[01:45.414] I know it's gotta be an upside now, found somewhere, yeah
[01:51.315] If I can't pick my face up off the ground
[01:57.093] And I don't know what's next, I holler, "But I'm blessed", yeah
[02:06.145] Under pressure, feel like God
[02:08.791] No discussion when I pull that card
[02:11.957] Until I see different
[02:13.621] I know what I know
[02:18.741] Under pressure, feel like God
[02:21.838] No discussion when I pull that card
[02:24.305] Until I see different
[02:26.546] I know what I know (What I know)
