|
Whatever happen Lord, dont pass me by
|
Cause whenever I did wrong it was ya name I cried
|
I heard you forgave over and over again
|
But when I found out I love you, you became ammune to my sins
|
Laid wide awake in da middle of my sleep (I see dead people)
|
And sometimes it's me Lord
|
I never wanted to be a thug father
|
I only wanted to be a son of a father
|
That's how it sounds inside, worse than da war in Iraq, when it's me against I
|
I gave up da weed and somehow Im still high
|
Three years still seein' them three guys Lord (Whoo)
|
Sometimes I dont know what you want from me, but I do know you know what I want from you
|
(Give it to me)
|
(Come on) Take away this Hennessey, take away me runnin' da streets
|
Stop people from rapin' me, take away all this jealously and prejudicy
|
Lord you said it was better place, I grew up around pimps, hustlers, hoes and project gates
|
Its HARD TO BELIEVE in what I cant see
|
I got to get this money and feed my family
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Whatever in me guides my life, dear Lord Dont Let Me Die tonight
|
But if I shall before I wake, what shall I say
|
Its been a good run from hoodlum to outin' da states
|
How could one who made so much foul mistakes, still be allowed to have a smile on my face
|
How whatever da case Im glad it wasnt murder, in a town you never heard of
|
From a nickel plated burner
|
Now my life straight like a perm, tried to take da spot I earn
|
Muthafucka better learn
|
|
[Chorus]
|
(Its HOV) Back blocked on everybody laptop

|
Lord hear me out, got a few more things to say
|
These demons be chasin' me like everyday (Come here)
|
Nah my life on crutches, never say I never walk again
|
But da devil is a lie cause I believe within'
|
You're da reason that Im still here, even though I dont act like it
|
Even though I hear my callin' and fight it
|
Fools do me so wrong, its hard to stay righteous
|
Pimpin was allowed to happen I'll hide it
|
Believe me Lord I want you, got money and fame but still it just wont do
|
Sometimes I dont like who I am, when I look in da mirror my reflection is Uncle Sam (Uncle Sam)
|
And every night I have these weird dreams, that a preacher trapped inside of me wake up and cant
|
breathe
|
I feel like its twenty of me, goin' twenty different directions on a one way street Lord
|
I got houses, money and cars, and met every single superstar
|
I got da whole music industry sold, but it still dont matter .......
|

|
When Im gone and my casket closed!!!
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Whatever in me guides my life, dear Lord Dont Let Me Die tonight
|
But if I shall before I wake, I'd accept my fate
|
I did what I did my heart was in da right place (Ohhh)
|
I guess so I can live it put food on my plate
|
You must still love me not to let it in by three that day
|
Well whatever da case Im glad it wasnt murder, in a town you never heard of
|
From a nickel plated burner
|
I guess Im not finished wit my journey, please forgive me for my sins
|
Shit Im still tryna learn me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
(HOV) From da back block on everybody laptop

|
(HOV) Oh yeah da niggas is comin get out ya good dishes or somethin' like its Thanksgiving
