Yea n****, ima heal sumbody soul with this shyt, ya noe, it wont be the last time
Chorus
So I pray, for the strength of me to go on/
everyday, knowing im not promised tomorrow,
if I may, ask the lord can I come home/
its easier said than done, that's why we pray
Everyday 4 da sake of mankind please/
look in my eyes, tell me im lying/
only I cud package and sell the lords gift/
call them records and distribute the sounds of music/
dare to dream, but the sound I hear is acoustic/
and my dad is abusive and my momma is losin it/
I need base, the type u put in the pot and cook it/
un til it gets hard, hit the block and start movin it/
just had a baby and my baby's momma movin in/
with me and momma and there aint no room 4 all of em/
what I would call survival most of em would call quits/
but this is how we make our livin, s***
f*** the world, is what my little young'ns is yellin/
it feels so good to be young, black, and rebellious (right)/
say what I want (like)/
f*** imus, f*** George bush, them n***** aint important in my life/
but what is, is the next war that we fightin for whats right/
its for whats left and marriages of the same s**/
a child's murdered, the media wants to blame rap/
cuz at the time he was listening to some 2-pac/
there goes to show that they really don't even care that/
he still a child and he never gon get his youth back/
especially when ur charged for being black, young, and dumb/
the ones that they get their ideas from
Lord hear my call, and curse them all, that pray and pray 4 my downfall/
gotta crawl be4 u walk, walk be4 u run/
DMC nd with the world in agreeance/
that nobody could quite do it like R U L E nd the more I started to read it/
the more I started believing it/
invincibility will get u higher than any amphetamine/
dope, c**e, pills, lean, or weed/
and my star is so bright, man how can it dim/
I got 3 kids and I live thru all of them/
its like watchin myself grow all over again/
except this time it looks a little better from here
