B.I.B. - Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko

How much of the trauma did mama get?

Ayy

Way up to the highest level that drama gets, ayy

Through the pain of my mother, heartache was on a display

I don’t want a sick day to my mama’s dismay, ayy

Thinking of all of it, I never wanted a part of it

Remember I wanted to let go, when smoking, I managed to get low

It coulda been worse, like when I was talking to homies on a cellular phone up

on death row

When I never had to serve a stretch so, I can still say «But I’m blessed,

though»

But why did I have to hear mama getting beat

In third grade, so I couldn’t really give him missing teeth?

But I knew from grandma that what you sow you’re gonna freakin' reap

So he robbed a bank and got about 30 years in the pen' for the mission, peace

Blessed to get away, but stressed to this day

When checks hit a nay, no money, depressed and it’s grey

But the family didn’t stutter to pull her and the kid inside their homes

Sometimes it was butter and sugar sandwiches

Graduated to healthy niggas

Tryna protect this investment, moving like stealthy figures

All that poverty and pain it really helped me give a damn

It dealt me this killer jam, now wealthy I’m living grand, still,

I felt these shivers

And the cold nights living through all the stresses

I’m feeling like I had a lifelong baby bib to protect me from messes

Around my neck so I’m safe as far as threats go

From the last row to the best flow, I can now say, «But I’m blessed, though»

All of these things that get me down

I know it’s gotta be an upside now, found somewhere, yeah

If I can’t pick my face up off the ground

And I don’t know what’s next, I holler, «But I’m blessed», woah

And all of these things that get me down

I know it’s gotta be an upside now, found somewhere, yeah

If I can’t pick my face up off the ground

And I don’t know what’s next, I holler, «But I’m blessed», yeah

Under pressure, feel like God

No discussion when I pull that card

Until I see different

I know what I know

Under pressure, feel like God

No discussion when I pull that card

Until I see different

I know what I know (What I know)
