Blessed Are Those - Killah Priest

Intro/Chorus 
It goes: life  difficult times  and mad crimes 
Some pay the price  while others refine 
Blessed are those who struggle    God loves you 
And Wisdom is the principle thing for Kings and Queens 
(repeat 2X) 
Many alliance will end  it's like a sad song 
from a violin  trapped like Daniel's in the Lion's Den 
Tryin to pie rce the iron skin  of Leviathan 
Souls blowin in the violent winds 
God help us, if we die in sign, I hear the trials 
in the cries of men, that's when the riot begins 
Like things never get better, we forever 
servin Ebekenezer, since the days of our ancestors 
Slaves to a mad pleasure, building great architectures 
Sharp dressers, smart professors 
Start my lecture, I build lyrics like a art director 
Show it to you like the film projector 
Blessed are those who struggle, from day to day we all hustle 
Comin home with sore muscles, and scarred faces 
Scuffed knuckles, we all share the same trouble 
Seperated couples, sometimes it seem like 
there's no escapin, the clutches of Satan 
Spendin years in state pens, awaitin patient 
Dreams of a scholarship, ended by a hollowtip 
Politics and number slip 
Chorus 
Once, shoved in ships, now we Bloods and Crips 
Thugs with clips, niggaz who love the clicks 
Hit the clubs and shit, so they can rub their hips 
Hugs and flicks, niggaz with drugs and whips 
Cash Rules this Rotten Apple, they got a worm in it 
Corrupt sinners, in my man's jeep 
with the windows tinted, sippin Guinness 
Observin all the clinics, and liquor spots 
They make me lick a shot through the rooftop 
I never seen the glory 
In the ghetto it's the same story 
Ciggarette butts and cold coffee, black faces 
and white mou
