[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Yesterday, my nigga had told me his brother died
A day before that, his homeless uncle was cold outside
A week before, he seen the cancer in his mother's eyes
Two weeks before that, couldn't pay his rent
'cause he lost his job
A month before that, he lost the custody of his daughter
Six months before that, her mother said
she won't see her father
And this before he did a year
when them charges was brought up
I shook my head, turned around
then found a hundred dollars

[Hook: Kendrick Lamar]
I don't know why He keep blessing me
I don't know why He keep blessing me
I don't know why He keep blessing me
I don't know why He keep blessing me
I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Yesterday, I invaded privacy of a home
The day before that, my partner had fronted me a zone
A week before, I had loaded bullets inside that chrome
Two weeks before that, I shot them bullets
and he was gone
A month before that
I cursed my mother then slammed the door
Six months before that, I hit my woman, she hit the floor
I stormed out, then seen a black Honda Accord
Them hollow tips missed me then hit that little boy

[Hook: Kendrick Lamar]

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
So today I laid in my bed, stared at the ceilin'
Closed my eyes, then asked myself how I was feelin'
I analyzed on how a saint can play the villain
Is my life coincidental or just God willin'?
I came to grips, jumped up, looked out the window
See my nigga had that same little boy that didn't know
Bullets is nameless, I guess this was meant for
Me to give them a hundred dollars then trash my pistol

[Hook 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why He keep blessing me
Now I know why, now I know why, now I know why

[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar and Bj the Chicago Kid]
So I can bless you
So I can bless you
So I can bless you

[Verse 4: Bj the Chicago Kid]
Lord help me
Cause I need You
I know this weed is burning
And I'm on drink number two
But it's all to soothe the pain from this
Cold, cold world
Sometimes I think it can help me
But this buzz here is temporary
So I'm talking to You
This sick world will drive a sane man crazy
Dead birds dropping out the sky
daughters having their fathers' babies
And this the news I hear
When my god kids, nieces, and nephews turn a year
I wonder will it get better
A little cheddar will make it better
But the risk of fast cash
Will make last year's Christmas gift be my last

[Hook 3: Bj the Chicago Kid]
But somehow You keep blessing me
But somehow You keep blessing me
But somehow You keep blessing me
But somehow You keep blessing me
But somehow, but somehow, but somehow

[Verse 5: Bj the Chicago Kid]
If I just keep the faith
I know You'll be right there
Sometimes it may not seem that You are there
But You're there
I feel You're there
You're everywhere
And I thank You for
Protecting me in these streets
From danger seen and unseen
I never know
What happened the night
I wasn't there
Something told me leave so I left
News the next morning
Three guys shot after the club
Awwhh, listening to that small voice
Oh it saved my life
