| Papa left me at war
|
| In the Croix-des-Bouquets slums
|
| Out in Haiti
|
| I used to hunt for my food like wolves hunt sheeps
|
| From the whole to the project
|
| Learned to slap box cause I couldn’t take the disrespect
|
| Asked Mona Lisa for a date on Friday
|
| She heard I was Haitian and she said no way
|
| But God blessed the child
|
| I could have been that juvenile
|
| Yep, but that’s my cousin selling crack
|
| And that’s me with the black and white notebook writing raps
|
| And the words became real
|
| And I got a record deal
|
| And I went from last to first
|
| I put Haiti on the map, if you’re looking for my country Google Earth
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|

|
| God bless because the streets is hard
|
| We living in a world we only see facades
|
| But check the stats, you won’t believe the odds
|
| From who make it out to who see the bars
|
| Only a few make out the two seated cars
|
| I hope my crew make it out and don’t see the bars
|
| When Wyclef was on tour with the Fugees
|
| I was with Boyz n the Hood, you can’t pause the movie
|
| Thought I was hot shit when I bought the coopy
|
| I was down in the tunnel when I wore the goofy
|
| I was the ice berg shit, 400 sweater
|
| I put ten up in the bank, bet I form better
|
| It was love in the bitch way before I met her
|
| Just was spending all my chips on the softest leathers
|
| I told my niggas meet them at the crossroads
|
| Until then I’mma see how fast this Porsche go
|
| More money well them more foes
|
| But shit I ain’t scared of you mofos
|
| You funny niggas like Bernie mac
|
| I do something til you same niggas turn a rat
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|
| It’s much deeper than a rap song
|
| Think it’s sweet until this beef is getting clapped on
|
| I’ve seen sweet dreams turn in nightmares
|
| I watch street dreams turn to life years
|
| You can hear the loud screams when they cry tears
|
| Now I take my whole team and we fly Leers
|
| If it’s New York then we’re up town
|
| California sport when we touchdown
|
| I’m getting money, wouldn’t call it fame
|
| It was right before she nutted when she called my name
|
| Backing out the telly, wheels in reverse
|
| She had the telly slippers on, heels in her purse
|
| I put her in a cab, you dealing with a jerk
|
| It’s atleast a quarter mil when a nigga murk
|
| Shit they follow me like i’m racketeering
|
| They must have got fed with the black McLaren
|
| And yea they racial profile my black appearance
|
| And I always ran the streets, I had absent parents
|
| And every night we pray to the sky
|
| In the hood where is 9 million ways to die
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
|
| God bless the child that can hold his own
