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 won't make a sound
Lord, put your blessings over me
I'm at the end of my rope, but I'm still swingin'
Fate took the key to my home, but I'll break in
Someone come guide me close, guide me to winning
And oh, I'm not giving in, whoa
In the morning time (in the morning time), single rise (single rise)
Every day I wake up, every day I'm thankful
Give me the light (give me the light), give me the life (more life)
Every day I wake up, every day I'm grateful
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
(So 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 (oh, yeah)
'Cause it's the funny little things in life
That turn a boy into a man sometimes
I owe it all to everyone who gave me some direction
'Cause I'm finally living life alright
In the morning time (in the morning time), single rise (single rise)
Every day I wake up, every day I'm thankful
Give me the light (give me the light), give me the life (more life)
Every day I wake up, every day I'm grateful
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
(So 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 a-come down
Throw all your prayers and your blessings on me right now
Don't wanna see everything I love a-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
(So put your blessings over me)
Whoa, oh, Lord, put your blessings over me
Whoa, oh, Lord, put your blessings over me
