Bless the Child Lyrics by McKinley Dixon

For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her

2021

[Chorus]
They’re watching down on you
They know just when you’re dreaming
They’re counting on you, they know
You dream for them too

[Verse 1]
I had
Prophetic dreams
Saw my nigga last night
Wish I could say poetic themes
Conversations more like:
Is you active up in heaven?
Haven’t seen the hood in ages
Member when niggas busted in
Stole your PlayStation
Sheesh, we reimagined our schemes
Played with wrestling figurines
Off the top rope, all our dreams
Life is such a balance beam
Baby boy don’t frown
Lil nigga now a man 'cause his problems passed down
Sheesh, sunlight ripping through his fleece
Holes through his shadows
Had flowers bloomin' up in the streets
Got us wings
Now heaven ain't so far from here
Only mama's whoopings and God we fear
The law ain't steer
Them from unpacking all of this hurt
Childish feelings revert
Bullet enter your right eye
Exit your gut, berserk
Blasting now, praying that this shit is somehow gone work
Only healed heartache
If my nigga hopped out of the earth
And said

[Chorus]
They’re watching (he said) down on you
They know just when you’re dreaming
They’re counting on you, they know
You dream for them too

[Bridge]
I love you black, black, black, black, black
I love you black, black, black, black, black
Mama says say it back, back, back, back, back
I love you black, black, black, black, black
How do you react, -act, -act, -act, -act
You lost 'em to that, that, that, that, that
Can never bring 'em back, back, back, back, back
Oh I love you black, black, black, black, black
Now please say it back

[Verse 2]
Stupid nigga
You just do this for respect
Really where was you
When they put two inside of Tyler’s chest?
This shit got you spiraling
And you starting to regret
Not being more of a threat
'Cause then you could just protect
The ones you love and help then take down the stars
Niggas shoot long distance with such short sight
Watch them cut down a family tree in just one night
Pray you make it alright
'Cause if I don’t, God gon' have to give me flight
Screaming "I feel alive, I feel alive"
Tonight we just ride
And if we survive
The sunset will be the warmest thing to touch our skin
Take your hands off those handlebars
Risk it all for your kin
Screaming "I feel alive, I feel alive"
And if we survive
Then that mean that he gon' die
'Cause we both can’t thrive
Hate to be the one to deprive
But the prize
To be able to scream "I feel alive"
Goddamn
