B.I.B.

How much of the trauma did mama get, ayy?
 Way up to the highest level that drama gets, ayy
 To the pain of my mother's heartache was on a display
 Y'all don't want a sick day to my mama's dismay, ayy
 Thinking of all of it
 I never wanted a part of it
 Remember I wanted to let go
 When smoking, I managed to get low
 It coulda been worse like when I was talking to homies
 When the cellular phone up on death row
 When I never had to serve a stretch so
 I can still say "but I'm blessed though"
 But why did I have to hear mama getting beat
 In third grade, so I couldn't really give him missing teeth
 But I knew from grandma that what you sow you're gonna freaking reap
 So he robbed a bank and got about 30 years in the pen' for the mission, peace
 Blessed to get away
 But stressed to this day
 When checks hit a nay
 No money, depressed and it's grey
 But the family didn't stutter to pull her and the kid inside their homes
 Sometimes it was butter and sugar sandwiches
 Graduated to healthy niggas
 Try'na protect this investment
 Moving like stealthy figures
 All that poverty and pain it really helped me give a damn
 It dealt me this killer jam, now wealthy I'm living grand
 Still I felt these shivers
 And the cold nights living through all these stressors
 I'm feeling like I had a lifelong baby bib to protect me from messes
 Around my neck so I'm safe as far as threats go
 From the last row to the best flow
 I can now say that I'm blessed though
 All of these things that get me down
 I know there's gotta be an upside, now
 Found somewhere, yeah
 If I can't pick my face up off the ground
 And I don't know what's next
 I holler "but I'm blessed"
 All of these things that get me down
 I know it's gotta be an upside down
 Found somewhere, yeah
 If I can't pick my face up off the ground
 And I don't know what's next
 I'm hollow, but I'm blessed, yeah
 Under pressure
 Feel like God
 No discussion when I pull that card
 Until I see different
 I know what I know
 Under pressure
 Feel like God
 No discussion when I pull that card
 Until I see different
 I know what I know
