[1] - My soul is so dirty
|
I've been hustlin' everyday
|
Now I know that I should pray
|
But I wonder if He hear what I'd say
|
I know my momma didn't raise me this way
|
But I gotta feed my family
|
If I could just make it through one more day
|
I could live the right way
|
|
Lord, you know it's been 12-15 years I've been in the game
|
The way I live this life, forgive me, I know it's a shame
|
But who'd a thought I'd make it this far
|
From all the brothers and others that I've lost
|
I know I'm fortunate not to be one of those souls you choose
|
And I'm sorry for the ones I sent
|
Down here is to live or die, what was I suppose to do?
|
You know I wasn't quite ready
|
For this soul of mine to come before you
|
|
[Repeat 1]
|
|
I know I may not have been right but I've been fair
|
I guess that's why you saw it to keep me here
|
You must have somethin' better for me
|
Just give me a sign Lord, please show me
|
Just wanna thank you for the ones you've placed
|
I pray you watched over them, cuz you watched over me
|
Until you clean us up Lord, like we should be
|
I know you will eventually
|
|
[Repeat 1]
|
|
Please watch over my babies and they mommas, too
|
Cuz they don't know what they daddy do
|
But this one thing, I promise you
|
I won't let my seeds do the same thing, too
|
Lord, bless my momma, you know how much she means to me
|
Despite the way I live, I know she still loves me
|
She's up in church, cryin' and prayin' for me
|
And I'mma try to see her there on Sunday, I said maybe
|
|
[Repeat 1]
