Pattern of Rebirth

I remain a soldier even through these tears I remain a warrior even through the fear I stay on my grind, walk a road less traveled Keep my head up, every time I touch upon the gravel Enemies to my right and left Opposition plottin’ on my death At war with my pride Jah open my eyes So I pray Jah guide I And bless my soul Open my eyes Don’t let me go And hear my cry Even when the world is on my shoulders Even whеn the pain takes over And thе end feels closer No matter the pain I feel You know I can't fail This won’t break me down When you live by the knife Fight for your life I stand on solid ground There's no rest for the wicked There’s no sleep for the wicked Yes, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil ‘cause Jah guides my every step I keep my friends close I keep my enemies closer And when dem comin’ for the kill I fall to my knees and pray Jah guide I And bless my soul Open my eyes Don’t let me go And hear my cry Life passes Life comes and goes I used to pray for salvation I used to pray for forgiveness I thought God would save my soul I used to pray that the heavens would open up and favor me and hell would just let me go Here I am Payin’ for my sins with my blood Wishin’ I had spent time with my blood Wishin’ I had done more for my kids Wishin’ I had done more for my wife Wishin’ I didn’t lose my life Why can’t I have more time? Why can’t I have more time? Just a likkle bit more time You know, raggo, it’s all good I’m just hopin’ there’s room in heaven for a gangster Jah Jah bless
