Lyrics
[Intro]
You'll be with me in paradise
You'll be with me in paradise
You'll be with me in paradise..
[Verse 1]
Pierce by the pain
With my own blood stained cross
Im the boy who was slain
Now they saying Selah
I made an example
I fulfilled the law
So those who look up
Who walk on the path
Would know where they are
Some passed me by
And others asked "what did it cost?!"
Purple Lamb Skin robe
A crown with some thorns (yeah)
Cause I'm rocking that fashion
That no body's worn or seen before (And)
Im wearing that canvas that nobody's ever worn before (But)
It cost me my everything
My father Why you forsaken me
My father Why you forsaken me
All the things that you gave to me
Now my Kingdom awaits for me
People done sing of my legacy
Cause I know what it's like to be born from nothing and have no one next to me
So the streets are my empathy
Chilled with the goons that hung next to me
Now I'm breaking my bread, im feeding my fam
I give them my energy
My hood is my squad
No fake silver poons, who want from my royalties
Where I'm from
I die for brothers, that's what you call loyalty
So when I Raise my hand
Hang my head
And close my eyes
The sweat pours down
From the brow
I look (to to) my side
The work I put
My spirit
I put into every line
I bear the struggle
So today you'll be with me in paradise
[Hook]
So today you'll be with me in paradise
I bear the struggle
I, I bear
I bear the struggle
(Saying Selah)
I bear the struggle
I bear the struggle
(Saying Selah)
Today you'll be with me in paradise
[Verse 2]
I know how it feels to play in the dirt
And grow on the streets
I know how it feels to hunger
And have nothing to eat
I know how it feels to be in the Strom
But have to find peace
I know what it's like to be left in the dark
And have your dad leave
I know how it feels to have woman throw themselve at your feet
How it feels to hussle
Have people looking for me
Wanting all that I got
Jealousy burns up in the melting pot
They sit and the plotting on me
Rolling their dice casting out lots
Having targets on my head
Calling me good as I'm dead
Best believe if the price is right
Bro they turning me in
I know what it is to have people front
Pretend like we're friends
I cannot lie
Even went through life Thinking about death
Thats just speaking up the truth
Thats just the way that it is
To be stabbed in your own back
By those who thought were your kin
The sweet temptation of wanting to turn rock into bread
I know what's it's like To have to watch your back step, after step
What it feels to be jumped
Down from the blood In your lungs
To be framed up and set up
For something that you never did
So before you think I never been through it
Think again
I felt the same pain and the same struggles
Of every man
[Outro Hook]
So today you'll be with me in paradise
I bear the struggle
I, I bear
I bear the struggle
(Saying Selah)
I felt the same pain and same struggles
Of every man
I felt the same pain
I felt the same pain
(Selah)
Cause I'm rocking that fashion that no bodys worn or seen before
(Paradise)
Wearing that canvas that nobody's ever worn before
(Paradise)
I felt the same pain and same struggles of
(Paradise)
Today you'll be with me in paradise
