(Verse)
|
Yeah, growin' up we never knew what we was in for
|
Got the devil pokin' at you with his pitchfork
|
Thinkin' you be on 'em but you slip and now you piss poor
|
Plus you got a bunch of kids you got to fend for
|
Baby food and in shorts
|
Ain't no life demizal when you livin' life that you don't enjoy
|
You feel it jumpin' off the tenth floor
|
At ya 9 to 5, shoulda been the years that you been import
|
Injured, I'm just tryin' to vent lord
|
My lady sick as fuck, I'll never get her insured
|
People at the hospital treated us like trash
|
No cash for the bills, no cheddar pay the vent on
|
I'm trynna ride us to the benchmark
|
But its harder, now the drama in my life I gotta endure
|
Least I'm not up in the pin for
|
Somethin' that I did as a kid but remember that I mentored
|
|
(Hook x2)
|
Lost in the world, tryna find a way
|
Caught in the flames when the fires came
|
Darkness I'm placed in 'em by the days
|
I'm finna look up in the sky and pray and I beg
|
God, don't strike me down
|
God, don't strike me down
|
God, don't strike me down
|
If this my life, show me how to ride it out
|
|
(Verse)
|
Ain't no bitches any peaches or no palm trees
|
Strong arm dollar piece like it's beyond reach
|
Struggle since the day you had a heartbeat
|
Ten family members packed in an apartment like they sardines
|
Thought I had a Oz beat
|
Newborn baby covered straight up in a car seat
|
And trees a-livin' like the Cosbys, are over when the
|
Homies that you grow up with are murderers and car thieves
|
Also on the corner in the harsh heat
|
Buyin' dirtier in a rental car, DPD when you overhand
|
Cuff you on the concrete
|
Said they got a warrior involved and then stole my credit card beat
|
The number of my homies gunnin' so what daunt me
|
Wish it were Hennessey and my name upon the mark key
|
We put our glasses off the denim and that rock beach
|
Gettin' drunk, geeked up, singin' off key we
|
|
(Hook x2)
|
Lost in the world, tryna find a way
|
Caught in the flames when the fires came
|
Darkness I'm placed in 'em by the days
|
I'm finna look up in the sky and pray and I beg
|
God, don't strike me down
|
God, don't strike me down
|
God, don't strike me down
|
If this my life, show me how to ride it out
|
|
(Verse)
|
God please forgive me, I had so much evil in me as a teen and then we
|
Turned into grown men with no men to teach me how to get rid of my demons
|
It seemed to send me further away from your spirit, I keep descending
|
And I keep befriending the wrong people to be depending
|
Off of positive energy but I keep extending my hand out, family condemning
|
And my lease appending as I pray to You
|
I try to walk a straight line but the rope that's underneath my feet is flimsy
|
But I promise, if I fall off, I'll keep attempting
|
And I know you've heard that a hundred times, I keep on sinning
|
Been a loser all my life so it's hard envisioning me winning
|
In the name of Jesus, amen, I pray, I hope my life'll have a peaceful ending
|
Cause I'm
|
|
(Hook x2)

Lost in the world, tryna find a way

Caught in the flames when the fires came

Darkness I'm placed in 'em by the days

|
God, don't strike me down
|
God, don't strike me down
|
God, don't strike me down
