Lyrics
His headphones in and he plays that song, he s just trying to survive but they saying that he s wrong
and that might sound easy
But you see he s got a gun, this happens every other night
It s because god loves us that he puts us to the test, hold your head
They rolled down the window and emptied the whole clip, and always do your best
walkin out the door
He s running for his life, round the corner then he trip
Gotta deal with this mess, and that might sound easy, and now he laying in the hospital
But every single night he was tired of gettin fucked with, even though you didn t make it, he tried to hide in the crowd amongst the other people
But every single night he was tired of gettin fucked with, he pray to god he make it home, so god bless kanye west
It s a long race, we in the struggle where the strong kill the strong
but you see he s got a gun
so they returned fire as he ran down the block
All this crazy that s going on, after all these years of dodging so many obstacles Kanye, his headphones in and he plays that song
hold your head
And always do your best, and remember that you are blessed
Round the corner then he trip, he s running for his life, that s when he felt the chrome to his head and heard the click
This is a story with three different plots, he s running for his life
Let off a couple shots and they all start to chase him, in any of the three the hero could ve been shot
It s because god loves us that he puts us to the test, that s when he felt the chrome to his head and heard the click GBKW, this time the eses
he s just trying to survive but they saying that he s wrong
he s running for his life
that s when he felt the chrome to his head and heard the click
And now he doesn t feel so alone, a young black man tryna make it on his own
we in the struggle where the strong kill the strong
who really did the shooting don t matter a whole lot
gotta deal with this mess
And now he doesn t feel so alone, it s because god loves us that he puts us to the test
This is a story with three different plots, it s because god loves us that he puts us to the test, either way a young man was gunned down on his block
And now he doesn t feel so alone, he s just trying to survive but they saying that he s wrong
They know he ain t bangin, and every other brother of color that s under stress, they know he ain t bangin
in any of the three the hero could ve been shot
and every other brother of color that s under stress
His headphones in and he plays that song, so they returned fire as he ran down the block
Can t seem to find a way for us all to get along, what s goin on, this happens every other night
They chased him down pico, they rolled up and told him
They see him comin, he pray to god he make it home
Either way a young man was gunned down on his block, it s because god loves us that he puts us to the test
The fucked up thing, it s because god loves us that he puts us to the test
A young black man tryna make it on his own, it don t matter if i tell you who s responsible Kanye, round the corner then he trip
it s because god loves us that he puts us to the test
Who really did the shooting don t matter a whole lot, walkin out the door
and that might sound easy
Even though you didn t make it, he s just trying to survive but they saying that he s wrong Murs, he pray to god he make it home
Hopped in they regal, walkin out the door
He s just trying to survive but they saying that he s wrong, high off sherm so they don t give a shit
And every other brother of color that s under stress, gotta deal with this mess
Even though you didn t make it, and remember that you are blessed Murs, and now he doesn t feel so alone
we in the struggle where the strong kill the strong
His headphones in and he plays that song, hold your head
They wanna make you feel like you are less, he s running for his life
the fucked up thing is this week it happened twice
