Dear mama, you wouldnt believe what Im goin through
|
But still I got my head up just like I promised you
|
Every since you left your baby, boys been dealinwith
|
Problem after problem, tell me what am I supposed to do
|
See, I get lost sometimes, dont understand this place
|
Look in the mirror sometimes and see a troubled face
|
And then my tears roll down and hit the sink
|
Then I hold my head up high, I hope the Man upstairs can hear my cry
|
All these questions deep inside my mind
|
Like if Jesus loved me, why he leave my side, mama
|
Im still tryin to get the answer why
|
You were young, 45, and you had to die
|
Im always tryin to help people out
|
And its them same people tryin to take food out my mouth
|
|
It seems like the more money I make
|
The more drama yall try to create
|
And through I try to move into the positive
|
The more yall dont wanna let me live
|
|
When will you realize that I dont owe you nothin
|
Need to get up off your butt and go get your own somethin
|
Im pullin on my hair to keep from snappin off
|
Fools ride up in my camp and be actin off
|
Somebody out there please pray what Im talkin bout
|
Still young tryin to figure it out
|
|
Heaven, I need a hug
|
Is there anybody out there willin to embrace a thug
|
Feelin like a change of heart
|
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God
|
So shower down on me, wet me with your love
|
I need you to take me and lift me up, oh, yeah
|
|
I gave 13 years of my life to this industry
|
Hit song or not, Ive given all of me
|
You smile in my face and tell me that you love
|
But then before you know the truth, youre so quick to judge me
|
Thats alright, go ahead, keep talkin
|
Cause Imma hold my head up high and keep walkin
|
And reach for the sky, focus on the plan
|
Rescue the kid with his paper a pen
|
And this is for the homies that we lost
|
Yo, we cannot forget yall, so the hats come off
|
We pour a little liquor out for the memory
|
I know yall up there sittin on chrome in them pearly streets
|
The street survivors before careful, stay alive
|
Im prayin for your families, I hope you pray for mine
|
|
Used to be a time you wished me well
|
It hurts to know you wanna see me fail
|
And dont forget I kept you out of jail
|
Wheres my arms when you needed to be held
|
|
They turn they backs on you, who was there believin
|
Who said your troubles were only for a season
|
In church together tryin to pick up all the pieces
|
And now you betray me, I bind you in the name of Jesus
|
Somebody please pray what Im talkin bout
|
Still young tryin to figure it all out
|
|
Heaven, I need a hug
|
Is there anybody out there willin to embrace a thug
|
Feelin like a change of heart
|
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God
|
|
So shower down on me, wet me with your love
|
I need you to take me and lift me up
|
|
Man, I tell you its enough to make you wanna give it up
|
Thank God for my fans cause through it all they show me love
|
To my sister and to brothers
|
Tell me why cant we just try to get along with one another
|
And stop hurtin one another, fightin one another
|
Man, I pray to God He get my family back together
|
Let me see what wanna see, just to blind me
|
All of these luxuries, wine and dining
|
And then You push me out in front to get behind me
|
Then You sat me up by blessin me to bind me
|
Im a grown man with kids now, stakes are high
|
Gotta go to church now to avoid the fight
|
Frankly, yall to keep it real Im just tired
|
Have dreams of bein dead, but the devil is alive
|
|
Church folks, you need to stop judgin
|
Or you will be the first to be judged
|
And women stop dependin on us men
|
And start dependin on the Man above, feel me
|
|
And as for robbin, heres what I need to do
|
Get rid of them clowns and get myself a whole nother crew
|
Media, do your job
|
But please just dont make my job so hard
|
Somebody please pray what Im talkin bout
|
Im still young tryin to figure it all out
|
|
Heaven, I need a hug
|
Is there anybody out there willin to embrace a thug
|
Feelin like a change of heart
|
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God
|
So shower down on me , wet me with your love
|
I need you to take me and
|
