Down Here, Up There - Lyfe Jennings

Lord its a constant struggle down here

Especially when all you know how to do is hustle down here

Lord its a miracle I’m still breathin down here

Lord its a battle field down here

Lord its easy to get killed down here

So I keep my family here down here

And keep my bullet proof vest on thank u lord for makin teflon down here

Cuz da ghetto has a way of manipulatin the children trickin them to believin

that life has no meanin down here

Down here

Lord if you see my grandmother up there

Tell her I know she’s dissappointed in me hates to see me in and out of jail

But tell her life aint as heavenly here as it is up there

I know its probably lovely up there

But tell her I aint in no rush to get up there

So I keep my pistols off safety at all costs I gotta protect and feed these

babies and lately its been hell keepin my black ass from comin up there

So Im thankful everday and pray my enemies dont roll down on me and send me

kickin and screamin up there

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

to my peoples trynna make it from down here

To my peoples who done made it up there

To my peoples trynna make it to up there

From down hereeee
