They try to kill us in the streets
Oh Lord put your blessings over me
When I lay my head on down
I pray the city don't make a sound
Lord put your blessings over me
I'm at the end of my rope
But I'm still swingin'
They took the key to my home
But I'll break in
Someone come guide me close
Guide me to winning
No, I'm not giving in
Whoa
In the morning time (morning time)
When the sun don't rise (sun don't rise)
Every day I wake up
Every day I'm thankful
Give me the light (give me the light)
Give me more life (more life)
Every day I wake up
Every day I'm thankful
They try to kill us in the streets
(They wanna shoot us on the streets now)
Oh Lord put your blessings over me
(So put your blessings over me)
When I lay my head on down
I pray the city don't make a sound
(Don't make a sound no more)
Lord put your blessings over me
(Lord put your blessings over me)
Sometimes it's me on the road (all alone now)
Glory be to my newborn (you know)
I finally bought a house
Wifey and me all good now
'Cause it's the funny things in life
That turn a boy into a man sometimes
I owe it all to everyone
Who kicked me some direction
'Cause I'm finally living life alright
In the morning time (morning time)
When the sun don't rise (sun don't rise)
Every day I wake up
Every day I'm thankful
Give me the light (give me the light)
Give me more life (more life)
Every day I wake up
Every day I'm thankful
They try to kill us in the streets
(They wanna shoot us on the streets now)
Oh Lord put your blessings over me
(So put your blessings over me)
When I lay my head on down
I pray the city don't make a sound
(Don't make a sound no more)
Lord put your blessings over me
(Lord put your blessings over me)
Whoa, oh Lord put your blessings over me
Whoa, oh Lord put your blessings over me
Throw all your prayers and your blessings on me right now
Don't wanna see everything I love all come down
Throw all your prayers and your blessings on me right now
Don't wanna see everything I love all come down
They try to kill us in the streets
(They wanna shoot us on the streets now)
Oh Lord put your blessings over me
(So put your blessings over me)
When I lay my head on down
I pray the city don't make a sound
(Don't make a sound no more)
Lord put your blessings over me
(Over me)
So put your blessings over me
Whoa, oh Lord put your blessings over me
Whoa, oh Lord put your blessings over me
