I came up in the hood, infested teenage hustlers Street grinders, paper chasin', busters By keepin' dust up an' caine homes, pipes an' cans So they they ride candy, painted just like the man
That Veta tryin' not to his hand But need 'em to keep 'em life from they stand Every night prayin' for prayin' go as far as the Got me feel like I'm from this heart that I'm dealin'
An' all this liquor hoein' an' goose-neckin' That I do but I don't want to got me blessings God said He'll the next two steps if I take the first I did but in it to pick an' the spur
From under my feet, faith an' jump in the street Back to a rocks, dyin' to the chrome in the heat An' with Gs that take it to the block with 'em Tellin' me, along with my greens, up pot nickel
Well, all I That I'd been down this before It the first time, won't be the last I gotta slow down 'cause I'm livin' too
time to admit, I need some help Still with my momma, can't feed myself ain't about who straight, who real, who fake An' who gay, it's who pray
You can my consistent an' endless efforts up Uplift me, an' branches catch draft When I'm choppin' down a to walk down Actually don't even how talk sound I'm tryin' to stop the step, they drawin' the chalk 'round
Matter of factually, I'll alone With no to back me God is my every existence, exhalation, I'll prophets, so profoundin', labels don't like contract me I'm one of a kind, gotta find a satellite to contact me
Let us bow, I thank the Almighty God for now For the strictor, smile through the an' trial For sparin' me when the was darin' me An' scarin' me, synonymous for me
An' to my family, the Family An' family, we all family An' to me health an' home an' my son, My tongue is my gun, revolutions already
Well, all I That I'd down this road before It the first time, won't be the last I gotta down 'cause I'm livin' too fast
It's to admit, I need some help Still livin' with my momma, can't myself ain't about who straight, who real, who fake An' who gay, about who pray
All I know is charge cards, cars an' Man, it's all for An' all could go an' when it's gone, you up yo cell phone, callin' God for
An' who to say that day ain't all awful An' if you ballin', playa, it's only God's your coach An' it don't the lies you hold, laws you broke Things ya drink, dank an' you smoke
He gon' forgive you an' that's Now don't get me wrong, I LL, but God 'Da Goat' He da of all time, if I'm lyin' I'm blind Can I get a
But we got to stop, we got to doin' dirt to Church with a Devil tucked in your purse Sittin' some from Atlanta, came up finish the prayer Worried sister, mom's an' hair
All the way worried bout what sister, mom wear This ya boy or should they ride the there? It don't matter, at least that's the moral In Sunday service, with a Bible, lie the South
But God bless her, we to thank God An' that's the step Holy Church thinkin' I said step inside His Holy thinkin' We all God's Property an' not just Franklin
Well, all I That I'd been down this road It ain't the first time, won't be the I slow down 'cause I'm livin' too fast
It's time to admit, I need some Still livin' my momma, can't feed myself Life ain't who straight, who real, who fake An' who gay, it's who pray
