[00:06.17]Yea, keep following me keep calling me
[00:12.78]Yea, yea, yea
[00:24.15]Ay, believe in God like the sun up in the sky!
[00:26.96]Science can tell us how how but they can't tell us why
[00:30.26]I seen a baby cry then seconds later she laughed, the beauty of life-
[00:34.57]The pain never lasts
[00:36.29]The rain always past, the sun don't always shine
[00:38.93]When it's gone I'm lonely, but when it's there I'm fine
[00:42.04]I hate the winter time because the nights come quicker
[00:45.02]The light make them whites think I'm a nice young nigga
[00:47.83]But at night they think twice and walk a little faster
[00:51.06]It's funny, 100 yrs ago I would of called Id a call this nigga masta
[00:54.03]How the tables turn but still the fire burning huh
[00:57.17]I feel the heat the world is a dryer turning, turning
[01:01.09]I'm looking for some higher learning, learning
[01:04.30]Girl you what I desire, yearning, yearning
[01:07.38]You cay I'm easily distracted I think the problem is I'm easily attracted by the darkside
[01:13.33]The temptation got me questioning where my heart lies
[01:16.28]I'm trynna separate myself like apartheid
[01:19.27]But ay the liquor keep swallowing I swear I walk with God but the devil keep following
[01:25.43]I say the devil keep following, following
[01:28.44]I say the devil keep following, following
[01:31.56]I say the devil keep following, following
[01:34.10]Omen
[01:35.24]Feel like I'm riding on a chartered plane of broken hearted pain
[01:38.41]Turbulence is constant my pilot has gone insane
[01:41.40]If I can find a parachute to parasail, maybe these parasites of paranoia won't prevail
[01:46.87]Character dope as hell, but where is my parallel sweetheart?
[01:50.11]Deep thoughts lost in my brain so I sleep hard-
[01:53.42]Nights with no progress
[01:54.95]Man I'm thinking like I'll probably find a Locness in the projects before
[01:59.51]I find this-Object of my love, this object of my heart
[02:03.13]Couture strings have strum in search of my counterpart
[02:06.16]Bound to start drinking or smoking, sinking this ocean
[02:08.75]Leaping through the badness hoping I'm reaching for closeness
[02:13.55]Feel like the devil keep following me
[02:16.34]Feel like the devil keep following me
[02:23.22]
