Listen, Listen |
|
Huh listen |
|
Government got it where you can't do shit no mo' |
|
The water ain't no good, the grass don't grow |
|
Never mention schools ain't safe no mo' |
|
Killing in the first grade, six years old |
|
Ask yo self this |
|
In what kind of world is that to raise yo children |
|
Then again it really don't matter, where you gone go |
|
You still gotta live it |
|
Let's face reality, stop talking 'bout peace |
|
That's a thing of the past |
|
But then again that's a bald face lie' |
|
Cause a few years ago you was hanging my ass |
|
Be no presidents |
|
Sometimes the whole world just pressed up against me |
|
Think about it, young black man, come up set up for penitentiary |
|
Do the math, all on you |
|
Choose yo path, be a leader, pray for strength |
|
Know when to cap and when to blast |
|
Get back on track, we damn near got past crack |
|
Then every dope dealer got snatched back |
|
We all wit the black on black that's sad |
|
Is it really in our nature what make it so bad? |
|
But I ain't no better then the rest of y'all |
|
Plus I came up in a house without no dad |
|
I knew that you left, couldn't be there[Incomprehensible], you didn't won't to |
|
But that how it is, |
|
Lord help us |
|
You know what we going through |
|
It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands |
|
That's why |
|
I'm praying to |
|
GodOh Heavenly |
|
Father, keep my head above the water |
|
It's Your world, but we |
|
Your children |
|
Your son's and |
|
Your daughters |
|
We struggling trying to get it together |
|
But some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
I know some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Somebody tell me what you get in a relationship [icnomp] |
|
We ain't married so we can't get divorced |
|
So the only thing left is domesticated violence |
|
When a man uses a woman to take out his problems |
|
He abuses that woman, then man must recognize his assignment |
|
We got two kids and you pregnant again so how can we profit |
|
That's bullshit |
|
That ain't no reason to pull her arm out the socket |
|
Baby I'm so sorry |
|
You know that |
|
I love you and didn't wanna hurt you |
|
When I put my hands on ya, |
|
I was wrong so |
|
I don't deserve ya |
|
I never thought |
|
I'd see the day when they scrap a nigga |
|
When they talk about 'em on the |
|
T VNow my sister flipping in the grave' |
|
Cause that's a cheap shot and |
|
I know this can't be me |
|
Lord help her forgive me, |
|
God give me my purpose |
|
Jesus break these chains, you know this is a vicious circle |
|
But I got my trust in you |
|
I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel |
|
Had it been in many situations |
|
She was there each and everyone of 'em |
|
Keep me humble, |
|
I wanna take time out write down |
|
And thank ya, thank ya |
|
Trying to make it wit out you is something we can't do |
|
It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands |
|
That's why |
|
I'm praying to |
|
GodOh Heavenly |
|
Father, keep my head above the water |
|
It's Your world, but we |
|
Your children |
|
Your son's and |
|
Your daughters |
|
We struggling trying to get it together |
|
But some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
I know some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Lord tell them you difference |
|
Between having eternal life or forever burn, burn |
|
Lord tell 'em |
|
You was wit' me when |
|
I had my accident |
|
And my truck started flipping and turnin' |
|
When it feel like |
|
I was dying from the moment of impact |
|
We rolled ten times |
|
I was down on my best, that fool came on my side of the line |
|
But when the truck did finally stop moving |
|
I was just fine |
|
My little brother that was on the passenger side |
|
Must of got hurt 'cause he was unconscious |
|
We then had our tragedies |
|
We was just talking so this can't be happenin' |
|
But before |
|
I could say anything else |
|
I saw the helicopter and the ambulance |
|
My little brother came back through |
|
First thing he said was "What is going on" |
|
But the next thing he said was"Watch over me Lord and keep me strong" |
|
And right then and there, |
|
I knew every thing was gone be alright |
|
But we ain't promised nothing |
|
So thank you my |
|
Lord for saving his life |
|
It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands |
|
That's why |
|
I'm praying to |
|
GodOh Heavenly |
|
Father, keep my head above the water |
|
It's Your world, but we |
|
Your children |
|
Your son's and |
|
Your daughters |
|
We struggling trying to get it together |
|
But some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands |
|
That's why |
|
I'm praying to |
|
GodOh Heavenly |
|
Father, keep my head above the water |
|
It's Your world, but we |
|
Your children |
|
Your son's and |
|
Your daughters |
|
We struggling trying to get it together |
|
But some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Lord some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|
Lord some of us ain't gonna see tomorrow |
|

|
That's why |
|
