August Alsina - Benediction Lyrics
[August Alsina:]
Started off in the streets
We would take collection from the fiends
People dyin' all around me
So I gave you my testimony
When the world wasn't listenin'
Now that I got your attention
Let us end with the benediction
We are gathered here today
Paying our respects to bein' broke, hope he's in a better place
'Cause life out here ain't sweet, oh no
I would close my eyes to sleep but didn't dream no more
So I had to make a way for my home, you know
Now I'm in a place where I ain't gotta scheme no more
I did what I could didn't always do what I should and I was misunderstood
So many nights I tried
To hide how I felt, I would cry inside
And I ran through the streets 'til my feet got tired
'Cause I ain't wanna have my shoes on them power lines
But I made it, and it made me
I know I did wrong, I pray to God he forgave me
'Cause I made it, and it didn't kill me
So it made me stronger, I pray to God that you feel me, that you feel me...
Started off in the streets
We would take collection from the fiends
People dyin' all around me
So I gave you my testimony
We were down from the beginnin'
When the world wasn't listenin'
Now that I got your attention
Let us end with the benediction
Our father who art in heaven
I pray you free me from my demons and keep me level
I know you kept me out of prison where I was headin'
When I heard somebody killed my brother, one-eighty-seven
I hope he made it to your presence, for me he was a blessin'
At least I know he's rested and he ain't out here stressin'
Tryna get to the good life, and out of this hood life
I pray that my step-pops stay off of that crack pipe
So Mama could sleep nights, I know it's been hard on her
I was ripping through the streets, it was hard for her
Now I'm up in hotels on the ocean shore
When I was sleepin' on the floor at the corner store
But I made it, and it made me
I know I did wrong, I pray to God he would save me
'Cause I made it, it didn't kill me
So it made me stronger, I pray to God that you feel me, do you feel me...
Started off in the streets
We would take collection from the fiends
People dyin' all around me
So I gave you my testimony
We were down from the beginnin'
When the world wasn't listenin'
Now that I got your attention
Let us end with the benediction
[Rick Ross:]
(Is the Boss)
Bottle after bottle, snatching Belaire out the bucket
Rightin' all my wrongs for these homies out here thuggin'
Pray for benediction, pretty women on my premise
Condo out in Cabo, screaming "GABOS" to my nemesis
Gold around my neck I'm ballin' for these final minutes
Nothing lasts forever, for these sins I seek repentance
Shots fired, another gone, I feel that man's pain
Daddy sat me down and said, "That came with the game."
Shake my head, roll up the window, turnin' up the music
So much anger in these songs for these soldiers that we losin'
A mastermind is one who's feedin' others off his talent
I owe it to my city but it's time I pay my balance
I'm in Holyfield's estate, I started with a pallet
I made my first tape, I gave that shit to Khaled
Thankful for my supporters, everyone that ever bought us
Grateful for every lesson these Miami streets taught us
[August Alsina:]
Started off in the streets

So I gave you my testimony
We were down from the beginnin'
When the world wasn't listenin'
Now that I got your attention
Let us end with the benediction

Cant love this music less 2019 dec
Rip juice wrld
I am a big fan of August Alsina and I don't know how he's doing right now...but I strongly recommend you this "red juice" from the Philippines and it heals some sickness and disease.Never try it but I have TFC , Filipino channel and saw this advertisement that this juice is healing diabetic, colon cancer, etc. I got surprised that after drinking this juice everyday, I saw them walking,working back to their normal life, but I know we don't guarantee it unless we try it. Maybe you can try their website redjuice.con usa...think they have in Los Angeles,CA. not sure...
This song deserves a billion views Wtf
people from the next generation will know that you were here!
The song is taking me to sleep tonight..
Good one August one love to all the brothers who lost there brothers in the street hussling life goes on baby
