Murs - GBKW (God Bless Kanye West) Lyrics
He's running for his life
The fucked up thing, this happens every other night
They see him comin', they like, "wassup cause?"
He in his uniform from Target so they sayin' he's a blood
They know he ain't bangin', they do it for entertainment
Heart racin', 'round the corner then he trip
That's when he felt the chrome to his head and heard the click
And every day he puts his backpack on
His headphones in and he plays that song
And now he doesn't feel so alone
Walkin' out the door, he pray to God he make it home
And he just want to make it home
A young black man tryna make it on his own
All this crazy that's going on
So God bless Kanye West
And every other brother of color that's under stress
They wanna make you feel like you are less
Even though you didn't make it, gotta deal with this mess
Hold your head, and always do your best
It's a long race, you gotta pace your steps
And remember that you are blessed
It's because God loves us that he puts us to the test
He's running for his life
The fucked up thing is this week it happened twice
This time the eses, bald head and tattoos
Mad 'cause he datin' they cousin and he a black dude
Hopped in they Regal, they chased him down Pico
He tried to hide in the crowd amongst the other people
High off sherm so they don't give a shit
They rolled down the window and emptied the whole clip
And every day he puts his backpack on
His headphones in and he plays that song
And now he doesn't feel so alone
Walkin' out the door, he pray to God he make it home
And he just want to make it home
A young black man tryna make it on his own
All this crazy that's going on
He's just trying to survive but they saying that he's wrong
We in the struggle where the strong kill the strong
Bodies dropping in the ghetto all night long
Can't seem to find a way for us all to get along
It's like they the new Marvin Gaye, what's goin' on?
So God bless Kanye West
And every other brother of color that's under stress
They wanna make you feel like you are less
Even though you didn't make it, gotta deal with this mess
Hold your head, and always do your best
It's a long race, you gotta pace your steps
And remember that you are blessed
It's because God loves us that he puts us to the test
He's running for his life
The fucked up thing is tonight is the black and white
They rolled up and told him, "freeze, don't run!"
And that might sound easy, but you see he's got a gun
You know he ain't tryna be on no tough shit
But every single night he was tired of gettin' fucked with
He dropped the gun and it let off a shot
So they returned fire as he ran down the block
This is a story with three different plots
In any of the three the hero could've been shot
Who really did the shooting don't matter a whole lot
Either way a young man was gunned down on his block
And now he laying in the hospital
After all these years of dodging so many obstacles
It don't matter if I tell you who's responsible
It sucks that we're living in a world where this is possible

Beautiful song
I feel bad for leaving a negative comment on such a great song / video but fuck anyone who put a thumbs down on this for real deep
Why Kanye tho🤔 tht foo sold his soul 😂😂🤦🤦how could you bless someone who sold their soul for 💰 money and a bitch w a fake ass ?🤷🤷😂😂💯
Oh shit I thought this was a GEICO commercial
Murs is the shit!! I've been listening to Murs and the Living Legends since 94ish, i remember going to a Legend show in like 2001-2002ish at the college in Santa Clara and Murs came to say what's up to the fans and he was rocking Van slip ons and people were clowning him in a friendly way, but who's laughing now cuz everyone rocks empty now. Murs is always ahead of the time in fashion and music
****#RESPECT****
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS
Great!!!!!
The amazing beat would make you believe Yeezus himself made it.
Fuck kanye west💯
Dope music awesome Cool good Listen
Its because god loves us that he puts us to the test... Deeep dude
Bars !!! 🔥💯
Murs, you're looking like a bison these days. Murs looks like the type of dude who rolls his fingers deep inside your Popcorn bag at the movies. The type of dude who never flushes the toilet. God Bless Kanye West is a conundrum. And I personally spoke with God and he told me that Kanye is like the LAST BLACK PERSON he wants to bless...only Bill Cosby and Suge Knight fall behind him. Plus, Kanye doesn't want to be blessed by God, he wants to be famous. This title is more troll than James O'Keefe, but that's what Murs is: Jack of all trolls, Master of None. Listen, Captain Crunch, oh my bad, your new name is Captain California (which is even cheesier)... Murs is just following the Clickbait lead of Slug of Atmosphere, where he similarly titled his song, "Kanye West" to get more views and still came up short. And just like Atmosphere, Murs is the quantity over quality rapper. (0:14) "He in his uniform from Target so they sayin' he's a blood/They know he ain't bangin', they do it for entertainment." If you're black in L.A. and you work for Target, you have to be a complete moron to walk outside with your red uniform. You might as well stick a "bullseye" on your back, I mean you already work for "target." Here's an honest rhyme: Murs lives in L.A., Kanye lives in L.A., Murs wishes he could rap with Kanye. All this Ass Kissing even though Kanye will NEVER listen to this song.
This is the oldest 39 yr old in the world, an unfunny goofball who only raps about 1 of 3 things: (1) his PTSD from living in the hood/black man's racial struggle in America, (2) an 808s & Heartbreak love song (3) or his distorted sense of humor #BreakfastClub #OkeyDog #LemonJuice. Here, he went for Option 1; GBKW is a song about the heavily scrutinized black man in America. In detail, GBKW is probably dumber than Rob Kardashian and T.I. fighting over a Gremlin named Blac Chyna. And why are Hip-Hop acronyms always an abomination, never with any ring to them? Kendrick's TPAB (To Pimp a Butterfly). Drake's IYRTITL; JAY-Z's D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune); Kanye's TLOP (The Life of Pablo). Not a single Hip-Hop acronym is memorable. Really, Murs is following the template to his earlier song, DSWG (dark skin white girl) where he desperately needed a cause, in defense of all those trashy white girls who act black and are called darkskin White Girls. Such a tragedy. That said, God bless V-Nasty. Murs wanted to call it God Bless R. Kelly but R. Kelly raped another little girl.
музыка из cropp. Они эту песню вообще не выключают
I'm latino but i feel very identified with the lyrics.Big love for this meanful music!
Murs and aesop sure like to sing about Kanye lol
HOLY SHIT THIS SONG
Life ain't yeezy
MURS, you are growing to be one of my favorite artist. I love songs with a powerful message like this one and, "Shakespeare On Low".
Does, "God Bless Kanye West" refer to the music keeping the young man persevering through his struggles?
1:33 that's my dad's car
dat piano too cheesy tho
this is kinda random but the way murs has his dreads and with a beard reminds me of someone else...
yo Murs the rap critic put this song as i think it was 9th on his best raps of 2017
bro THAT was dope
I bet if Kanye saw this he would say "I could have done it better"
Jestyn Carpenter do you understand the point of the song?
1:32 that's my dad's car
that's my dad's car😁
Respect from Romania MURS. I love this song!
that is my dads car
By far one of Murs' best tracks..
I love this song it remember me when kanye was hustling
Thats my dads car
Real Life Music. 💓It. 🐷. Always Nd Forever For Strange Music For Fucking Life.
This song gives me feels
I've listened to Murs for so long now and he's so underrated
how the fuck can anyone like Kanye West. what a fucking waste of a human life.

Stokely Calm rough day?

Even though I believe KW fell off I believe, he just like a lot of us, are struggling.
This song is so stupid as fuck. Its just Murs really being the Stan that he is and trying to make a song with Kanye... and what better way than some shitty filler song on his new album that you know Kanye will NEVER hear in his life. Basically, Murs is a fucking lame, even lamer than this god-awful song!
Mad cause she's dating a black dude but wearing a Raiders shirt LOL
snoops ggn brought me hear.
This is good stuff.
I love this song I found it on the ggn network so I can Snoop Dogg realnigga salute
God bless this man for the message he is getting along.
Where r all the Gladiators at, that wish they could claim they hailed from Okie dog crib? Sport ur pink & green strings with confidence
he has sold his soul to jesus
I want so badly to do a song with Murs, Tech, Wrek and Godemis.
im white am i allowed to love this song
Murs is way ahead of his time
God Bless the Gay Fish
if i didnt hear him b4 i saw him i wouldnt have listened to him. this mf is dope af. best rapper of 17. my nigga.
its prolly a good song just really hate kanye so prolly not gonna listen. sorry murs but keep up the good work
Love MURS voice, lyrics are on point too! #GodblessMURS
aww...man...I got shivers running down my spine listening to this
Holy Shit, This Is Amazing.
Great ending
The third verse doesn't make sense to me. Why didn't he just give the cop a Pepsi?
As a mental health advocate, I appreciate any artist who uses his/her talent to give comfort to those wounded emotionally due to living and surviving in an extremely hostile environment. I plan on sharing this and hope many others do as well. The world we live in is fucked up bad and it's not going to get any better soon so we all need to take a little time to comfort the wounded by letting them know we see their pain and their lives matters.
This song underrated AF
last line says it all.. respect Murs
God Bless this song.
Yo I agree that Kanye gets too much shit but he deserves quite a bit of it. Just way over hyped and it's pretty cringe
Masterpiece..
Why can't I stop watching this
Music like this is considered "corny" and "boring" to black people but niggas who talk about fucking eachother's girls, taking drugs, and killing eachother isn't?
wow.. that was deep. haven't heard something like this in a long time.
DWAMN!!! I'll be honest I almost didn't listen to this song because of the title of it but I'm glad I did! THAT WAS DEEP!!! THAT WAS REAL!!!
Kanye West sucks , fuck Kanye
Is Murs became a rastafari lmao ?
Daim man this hit my feels!
I'm an atheist and I don't like Kanye West at all. I still like this song, the message isn't lost on me.
fuck the all pseudo rappers bitch (kanye, drake, jay) fuck all this shit
Why the fuck does this only got 3k likes but shit like lil yachty one night got 100k likes.
Murs looking like the black Forrest Gump on the running scene
That last verse brought a fucking tear to my eye
living legend(s)
I respect that this wasn't a song about black vs white or anti cop it just showed the problem with society
Needs more cowbell
wow that sucked. b4 u get the wrong idea I MEANT IT JUST SUCKED THAT ALL THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS TRYING TO DO WAS WALK THE LINE.... MEANWHILE FOR EVERYDAY NECESSITY & PEACE OF MIND HE HAD TO CARRY THAT 9 N THEN TO HAVE THAT COP SCENARIO PLAY OUT THE WAY IT DID IN THE END CUZ HE KNEW JUS 4HAVIN THE GUN HED GET A MANDATORY 5 IT JUST ALL SUCKED soo sad we all have that headphones in, backpack on mentality or @least know someone who does
all lives matter
today I received a white jacket in the mail from strange music. inside it contained a white jacket that said pablo. I messaged SM and they informed me that it is in fact the jacket worn in this video. #lucky. murs is the best. #preorder bonus
Powerful!
Checkout Murs cosplaying as Saul Williams. lol Love this. Amazing concept track. I was surprised how much I was feeling this album.
This is a truly powerful song, this needs to be heard by all.
Wow. God bless murs but this song n his music fuckin sucks.. These lyrics r horrible.. Sound like pop music. Its sad strange music chsnged up there style. I know people with strange tattoos that ALL feel bad about there tats n wish they wuda nvr got em. Cuz they know how shitty strange has become
This song deserver a billion views, everyone should have this in mind instead of the fake ass rap music that is now adays in existencse.
Came to this video with a title like "God Bless Kanye West", expecting something weird or just something entertaining to watch. Didn't expect to hear the deepest song that Kanye's name has ever been associated with lol. Fr though, this totally caught me off guard. That last line hit me the most and I felt like the fact that at the end, he was sitting in the hospital bed of the guy he was rapping about just made the message hit that much harder.
Such a dope track
