Lyfe Jennings "Down Here, Up There" |
[Lord, it's a constant struggle Down here Especially when all you know how to do is hustle Down here Lord, it's a miracle I'm still breathing Down Here Lord, it's a battlefield Down here Lord, it's easy to get killed Down here So I keep my family near me Down here And keep my bulletproof vest on Thank you lord for makin' Teflon Down here Cause the ghetto has a way of manipulating children Tricking them into believing that life has no meaning Down here, down here Lord, if you see my grandmother Up there Tell her I know she's disappointed in me Hates to see me in and out of jail But tell her life ain't as heavenly here As it is up there I know it's probably lovely Up there But tell her I ain't in no rush To get up there So I keep my pistols off safety at all cost Cause I gotta protect and feed these babies And lately it's been hell keepin' my black ass from coming Up there So I'm thankful everyday and pray my enemies Don't roll down on me and send me kicking and screaming Up there To my peoples try'na make it From down here To my peoples who done made it Up there To my peoples try'na make it To up there... from down here...] Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
