[Peter Gunz]
|
you know what they say
|
God forgives all sins
|
except suicide
|
then I guess I'll be a'ight
|
'cause I ain't gon' kill myself
|
you know
|
|
I was raised atheist, God was a myth
|
never prayed 'cause I never seen, and I was never with
|
kneelin' on my knees, just thankin' Jesus
|
for stuff that I received when I wasn't receivin'
|
it's like
|
thanks for the lights that ain't on
|
thanks for the food that's gone
|
and my stomach's tight empty
|
thanks for the clothes that ya sent me
|
they tight and kids laugh, so I be cuttin' school, a'ight
|
I wanna thank you for my brother smokin' crack
|
I also wanna thank you for my cousin gettin' shot in his back
|
I wanna thank you for my friends that's gone
|
I mean they all under thirty right, but life goes on
|
I wanna thank you for my moms being sad
|
thanks for the house with the swimming pool I never had
|
I wanna thank you for my Uncle Bill, smart enough to get his PhD
|
he got HIV
|
I wanna thank you for my pops, what a joke
|
work hard all of his life and got nothin' to show
|
I wanna thank you for the lives that you moved
|
I also wanna thank you for the cancer that you gave E-Smooth
|
and I'm sorry my belief is low, can you tell me where to go
|
heaven or hell, eleven to twelve
|
and I'm ready when you ready, just tell me don't breath
|
will you forgive me 'cause I didn't believe?
|
all I know is that...
|
|
[Chorus-Peter Gunz]
|
when it's my time to go
|
all I wanna know
|
am I gonna see him or see you?
|
give me a clue, tell me what to do
|
will you open the gates or am I through
|
forgive me for my negatvie thoughts and all my sins
|
from what I know now Lord I wish I knew then
|
I seen alot of bad, never had reason to beleive
|
now I simply thank you for this air that I breath
|
|
[Lord Tariq]
|
yo, you know people used to say this kid's really crazy
|
that religion and forgivin' church stuff never fazed me
|
livin' off the word of a teacher
|
my friends up the block gettin' fat sellin' crack to the preacher
|
Johova's witness says he witnessed, but he never seen
|
what he seeks is forever green, and he forever fiend
|
I used to hit the mas now and then
|
me and X used to bill with these guys that was five percent
|
but see, one thing I learned in life being hard
|
is no matter who you serve in life, there's one God
|
wether you're black or white, Chinese, Japanese
|
you breath the same air I breath, bleed the same blood I bleed
|
that's why I'm sayin' you're wrong
|
if you're sayin' my song is blasphomy, just ask of me
|
I got God in me just like an artery
|
If I offended you then pardon me
|
the things I seen in life hardened me
|
wanna treat the next man like a slave
|
and go to church shoutin', holy ghostin' and
|
claimin' you're saved
|
then you think because the offer that you gave, you forgivin'
|
but you better fix the life that you're livin'
|
you wanna be God-filled, steady sinnin', change your ways
|
'cause you know it's really money that you praise
|
it's time to wake up, drop yo' blunt and put away the beer
|
'cause I'm feelin' like the last days is here
|
for real
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[One Accord]
|
forgive me Lord
|
for I have sinned
|
and now I know
|
I know you exist
|
(I wanna thank you)
