| [00:17.59] |
Father, forgive me |
| [00:20.62] |
I'm staring at this Bible as I keep glancing |
| [00:22.87] |
Dear Lord, I got questions and I need answers |
| [00:25.40] |
Tryna understand your vision, all I see is damage |
| [00:27.83] |
Just a bunch of dead bodies in the street camping |
| [00:30.26] |
A bunch of lost souls on their feet standing |
| [00:32.87] |
We supposed to be your children, I thought we family |
| [00:35.37] |
You're supposed to be my Father, bruh, I need answers |
| [00:37.82] |
We don't need to die young, we just need chances |
| [00:40.22] |
Tired of living on the edge so we keep scrambling |
| [00:42.71] |
Tryna talk to these strippers but they keep dancing |
| [00:45.19] |
We just wanna be number one like Steve Francis |
| [00:47.69] |
Bow our heads, say a prayer, now the seed's planted |
| [00:50.33] |
Everywhere I turn, I'm seeing emcees vanish |
| [00:52.72] |
Lot of good *****s gone, I don't understand it |
| [00:55.20] |
Lot of families lost and they seem stranded |
| [00:57.78] |
I ain't tryna disrespect you, I just need answers |
| [01:00.32] |
I know you're watching us from heaven thinking, |
| [01:02.05] |
"Who to save?" |
| [01:02.77] |
Cherry pickin' who should go next and who should stay |
| [01:05.21] |
I'd be on my way to heaven if I knew the way |
| [01:07.45] |
And bring back every good ***** you choose to take |
| [01:10.09] |
They say you never wrong, but you done made a few mistakes |
| [01:12.58] |
'Cause you taking the wrong *****s, maybe you should trade |
| [01:15.19] |
Trade us back all the real ones, remove the fakes |
| [01:17.70] |
I think you should trade |
| [01:18.94] |
Give us 2Pac back, and take that ***** Suge (Ooh!) |
| [01:21.50] |
Let the legend resurrect and he gon' live for good (Ooh!) |
| [01:23.81] |
I been screaming "Thug life " |
| [01:25.17] |
in every different hood (Thug life, thug life) |
| [01:26.51] |
If only you could bring him back, Lord I wish you would |
| [01:28.74] |
Give us Biggie, give us Pun, give us triple X |
| [01:31.23] |
Take that ***** Trump with you, that's a bigger threat |
| [01:33.75] |
There's too much power for a coward with no intellect |
| [01:36.22] |
That's a bigot with a collar, there's a disconnect |
| [01:38.69] |
*****s dying, Mama crying, Grandma need a tissue |
| [01:41.25] |
*****s shootin' up a church, now I need a pistol |
| [01:43.74] |
All them *****s still livin', you don't see the issue |
| [01:46.24] |
But how you take Selena and then you take Aaliyah with you? |
| [01:48.84] |
I ain't tryna disrespect, |
| [01:50.14] |
Just need to meet up with you (Lord) |
| [01:51.42] |
I ain't tryna overstep, |
| [01:52.48] |
Just want to reason with you (Lord) |
| [01:53.89] |
Give us back our loved ones |
| [01:55.02] |
And take the evil with you (Lord) |
| [01:56.38] |
Send them suckers straight to hell, |
| [01:57.67] |
They don't need a vigil (Woo!) |
| [01:58.92] |
I need you to give us back Martin Luther, |

| [02:09.94] |
I'm sending you this message, |
| [02:11.06] |
Lord, I hope you hit me right back |
| [02:12.39] |
They say I'm on the wrong train, |
| [02:13.79] |
I know I'm on the right track (Yeah) |
| [02:15.02] |
'Cause Trayvon gone, and all he did was tryna fight back |
| [02:17.33] |
Zimmerman walk around free, |
| [02:18.82] |
We don't like that (We don't like that) |
| [02:20.25] |
Why you take our mothers from us? |
| [02:21.40] |
Our fathers and our sisters and our cousins from us? |
| [02:23.86] |
Got these children |
| [02:24.66] |
Getting murdered while they double dutchin' |
| [02:26.38] |
Wonder why the **** you take Nipsey Hussle from us? |
| [02:28.79] |
Damn, you took a true king, a true brother from us |
| [02:31.40] |
This a ******' marathon, but they runnin' from us |
| [02:33.81] |
Now everybody got guns, *****'s up to something |
| [02:36.33] |
And every gangsta wanna prove that they tough or something |
| [02:38.83] |
You know it's not fair, tell the truth, |
| [02:40.66] |
I've been in my feelings too |
| [02:41.89] |
But if you took Emmett Till, at least take Dylann Roof |
| [02:44.50] |
At least take James Holmes, |
| [02:45.79] |
I ain't even mad at that |
| [02:46.98] |
Just bring back Whitney, |
| [02:48.18] |
And give us Michael Jackson back |
| [02:49.54] |
Feds want me in the slammer, damn |
| [02:51.48] |
Ain't no justice for Sandra Bland, |
| [02:53.87] |
We up like the ceiling fan |
| [02:55.05] |
Lord, if you listenin', |
| [02:56.17] |
I'm just lookin' for a hand to hand |
| [02:57.64] |
Take out the **** *****s and give us back our fam again |
| [03:00.15] |
Drownin' in my tears, tryna pray for something (Woo!) |
| [03:02.95] |
Wonder why you give us life |
| [03:03.96] |
For you to take it from us (Woo!) |
| [03:05.29] |
Wonder why you give us family |
| [03:06.39] |
Then erase them from us (Woo!) |
| [03:07.75] |
Maybe hopefully you can have a conversation with us (Yeah) |
| [03:10.13] |
Maybe I'm just probably tripping |
| [03:11.67] |
'Cause I need a hug (I need a hug) |
| [03:12.86] |
The hood can't find jobs, |
| [03:13.99] |
Now we need a plug (We need a plug) |
| [03:15.37] |
Everybody and their mama tryna be a thug |
| [03:17.46] |
I don't go to church 'cause I'm afraid of being judged |
| [03:20.14] |
I've been starin' at the ceiling as I lie in bed |
| [03:22.65] |
Watchin' *****s follow trends like Simon Says (Yeah) |
| [03:25.32] |
I pray you give us back the real ones and try again |
| [03:27.69] |
Or maybe take them *****s that deserve to die instead |
| [03:30.26] |
Tomi Lahren run her mouth and then she get defensive |
| [03:32.68] |
Laura Ingraham laughin' at death and disrespectin' |
| [03:35.27] |
I really feel like you should |
| [03:36.52] |
Teach them stupid hoes a lesson |
| [03:37.78] |
Either that or give us back |
| [03:38.86] |
Somebody who deserve the blessings |
| [03:40.22] |
I left out a bunch of names that I forgot to mention |
| [03:42.71] |
Cost too much to pay attention, then it got expensive |
| [03:45.24] |
Father forgive me, for I know not what I do |
| [03:47.25] |
And now I'm reachin' out to you, |
| [03:48.48] |
Hopin' you hear me and return the message |
| [03:50.31] |
I know that you got our back |
| [03:51.54] |
And that you're not against us |
| [03:52.90] |
Or maybe you just love us so you doin' **** to test us |
| [03:55.21] |
I just kinda thought that you would do more to protect us |
| [03:57.72] |
They say that the good die young |
| [03:59.06] |
And I ain't on the guest list |
| [04:00.38] |
I've been drinkin', Lord forgive me, |
| [04:01.74] |
It's my blood racin' |
| [04:02.83] |
I don't know what I'm thinking, I'm just frustrated |
| [04:05.42] |
I don't mean to question you, |
| [04:06.56] |
I'm just confused |
| [04:07.59] |
I don't know what else to do, |
| [04:08.73] |
I've been patient and it sucks waiting |
| [04:10.34] |
Took my mans from me, that forever hurts |
| [04:12.78] |
But puttin' the blame on you, that'd never work |
| [04:15.24] |
I know this ain't your fault, it's the devil's work |
| [04:19.01] |
Devil's work |
| [04:20.76] |
|
