Came up in the ghetto where they gotta throw slugs
And their parents do drugs and their friends hold metal
It was like '97 I was trying to keep up
Cause I needed new shirts, new sneaks, couldn't settle
For the dog kicks I had on and I can't ignore
Other people wearing Jordans that I can't afford
'99 Grabbed nine o's and I played the score
Shit landed me in prison, cops slammed the door
2000 Came home and got focused
I got with Beans, Beans took me up to Hova
Went from slinging them hard rocks to Rocawear
Dropped 900, Hustle now we outta here
Went from back of paddy wagons to Madison Square
Jay brought out Michael Jackson, you had to be there
Thank god for all my blessings, he answered my prayers
For all the days that we struggled and we couldn't get paid
We saying we blessed now
For all the nights that we struggled and we couldn't get right
We like we blessed now, I know we blessed now
For all the weeks that my family couldn't eat
We was frowning but we smiling cause we blessed now
I know we blessed now

When I was younger landlord tried to make the fam move out
I came up and bought my mom a six bedroom house
I came up and grabbed a Benny like I hit the lotto

Got no more worries cause we blessed now
