Listen!...Listen!...huh...Listen!
|
|
God forgive me but you can't do shit no mo'
|
The water ain't no good, the grass don't grow
|
Never mention schools ain't safe no mo'
|
killing in the 1st grade six years old
|
Ask yo self this, In what kind of world is that to raise yo children
|
Then again it really don't matter, where you gone go,
|
you still gotta live it
|
Let's face reality, stop talking bout peace that's a thing of the past
|
But then again that's a bald face lie,
|
cause a few years ago you was hanging my ass
|
??? no presidents, sometimes the whole world just pressed up against me
|
Think about it, young black man, come up set up for penitentary
|
Do the math, all on you, choose yo path,be a leader, pray for strength
|
Know when to cap and when to blast
|
Get back on track, we damn near got past crack, then every dope dealer got
|
snatched back,
|
But we already black on black, that's sad
|
Is it really in our nature what make it so bad
|
But I ain't no better then the rest of ya'll,
|
Plus I came up in a house wit out no dad
|
I knew that you left, you didn't won't to
|
But that how it is, Lord help us, You know what we going through
|

|
|
It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands,
|
that's why I'm praying to God
|
Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water
|
It's your world, but we yo children yo son's and yo daughters
|
We struggling trying to get it together,
|
But some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow...some of us ain't gonna see
|
tommorrow,
|
I know some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow
|

|
Somebody tell me what you get in a relationship
|
with nothing but silence, silence
|
We ain't married so we can't get divorced
|
so the only thing left is domesticated violence
|
When a man uses a woman to take out his problems
|
He abuses that woman, then man must recognize this and stop it
|
We got two kids and you pregnant again so how can we profit
|
That's BULLSHIT! That ain't no reason to pull her arm out the socket
|
Baby I'm so sorry, you know that I luv you and didn't wanna hurt you
|
When I put my hands on ya, I was wrong so I don't deserve ya
|
I never thought I'd see the day when they describe a nigga
|
when they talk about 'em on the t.v.
|
Now my sister flipping in the grave,
|
cause that's a how she died and I know this can't be me
|
Lord help her forgive me, God give me my purpose
|
Jesus break this chains, you know this a viscous circle
|
But I got my trust in you,
|
I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel
|
I done been in many situations, she was there each and everyone of 'em
|
Keep me humble
|
I wanna take time out write down and thank ya, thank ya
|
Trying to make it wit out you is something we can't do
|

|
Lord tell them you difference
|
between having eternal life or forever burn, burn
|
Lord tell em you was wit me when I had my accident
|
and my truck started flipping and turnin',
|
When it felt like I was dying from the moment of impact,
|
we rolled ten times
|
I was driving my best, that fool came on my side of the line
|
But when the truck did finally stop moving I was just fine
|
My little brother that was on the passenger must of got hurt
|
cause he was unconscious
|
We done had our tradegy's,
|
We was just talking so this can't be happenin'
|
But before I could say anything else,
|
I saw the helicopter and the ambulance
|
My little brother came back through, first thing he said was,
|
"What is going on"
|
But the next thing he said was,
|
"Watch over me lord and keep me strong"
|
And right then and there, I knew every thing was gone be alright
|
But we ain't promised nothing
|
So thank you my lord for saving his life
