Eryn Allen Kane - Her Pain (BJ the Chicago Kid & Kendrick Lamar Remix) lyrics

[Intro] This is the way I feel [Verse] I'm from the Murder Mitten where murder k**ed religion Where Stevie first sew that ribbon onto a million pistons Liquor store next to churches, you call it juxtaposition Where being black and distinct is on the brink of extinction This affliction is like a supervision Lack of inspiration, too much television Me call it a dummy box for a reason Ma turned it off and said "please go and get some ambition" She played a good villain, always spoke with conviction Protecting us from gang bangers and politicians Taught me about strong men and about strong black women Ms Angelou, Ms Parks, Ms Truth, Chaka Khan But not Oprah cause she only helped the black people in Africa So why, why So why am I here with blood dripping from my nose Fear running down my face My lovers hands grabbing my throat? Unprovoked, he choked our love and trust out of me Baron of any emotion on the floor he left me 19 years old, all I saw was 19 year flash before me So that night I smoked 2 joints, stole a fifth for myself and made a toast to infidelity Broken and lonely I drink to blur these thoughts Hoping that you will show me [Hook] And I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why And I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why But you keep on, but you keep on, blessing me [Hook] And I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why And I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why you keep blessing me I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why Hey thank you Jesus [Outro] Lord help me Cause I need you I know this weed is burning And I'm on drink number two Lord help me Cause I need you I know this weed is burning And I'm on drink number two
