Gospel If I Hadn`t Been Blessed Lyrics

If I Hadn`t Been Blessed Lyrics

Liv-in' in the ghet-to wasn-n't much fun; 
Not ma-ny trees, and no-where to run. 
I nev-er knew my dad-dy, 
And he nev-er knew me. 

Liv-in' in a world of knives and guns, 
It's hard to know when to trust some-one. 
And when your mom-ma's up fly-ing high, 
All you can do is pray she does-n't die. 

If God had-n't stay-ed and stood by me 
On-ly the dev-il would know where I'd be. 
My life would be no-thing but a great big mess 
If it was-n't for God and if I hadn't been bless-ed. 

My life was rough, but I pull-ed through. 
I lived a life, you wouldn't want for you, 
I said my pray-ers,and made some plans. 
I wash-ed dir-ty dish-es, and scrubb-ed some pans. 

If God had-n't stay-ed and stood by me, 
On-ly the dev-il would know where I'd be. 
My life would be no-thing, but a great big mess 
If it was-n't for God and if I hadn't been bless-ed.
