[Verse 1: Tech N9ne] How much of the trauma did mama get? Ayy Way up to the highest level that drama gets, ayy Through the pain of my mother, heartache was on a display I 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 on a 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 freakin' 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 Tryna 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 the stresses 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, "But I'm blessed, though" [Chorus: Krizz Kaliko] All of these things that get me down I know it's gotta be an upside down , frown 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", woah And all of these things that get me down I know it's gotta be an upside down, frown 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", yeah [Outro] 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 (What I know)
