Speak Lord

[Hook]

Speak Lord

Speak to me

[Verse 1: Killer Mike]

My mama said, I'm hard-headed

And many men have lost their soul

Along the road that I'm headed

Somewhere we stopped talking, Lord

And I regret it

The devil's coming at me

And it's hard to side-step him

You said, "Raise up a child

In the way that it should go

When it's old, it will not depart"

But I'm selling hard

And my momma's broken-hearted, Lord

You know I call my grandmomma "Momma"

Cause my momma's still smoking hard, Lord

Since you brought my grandfather home

I've felt so alone

Some days I find it

Impossible to carry on

And I think about him

How the pallbearers picked him up

And carried him out

And in my dreams I still hear

My grandmother's screams

Grant me peace, cause I can't sleep at night

Sometimes me and these demons fight all night

Dear Father, I'd bleed to have a kid

Who understands how bad it gets

That understands how mad I get

Mad enough to slit my own wrists

I'm mad enough to load the clip

Find a nigga speaking badly on me

Let it rip

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Killer Mike]

Dear Father, Speak to me

Walk with me, fight for me

Grant me peace and serenity

Shelter me from harm and injury

I know that I'm not worthy of your grace

But on that great and final day

Let me see your face

Make me Daniel in the Lion's Den

When I'm crushed to the Earth

Help me rise again

Redeem me of all my sins

All the lies, the deceit of women

Even the abortions

When I was bad off

And they wanted to bury me

You sent angels swooping down

With wings to carry me

You brought me through my darkness

Touched my heart when I was hardest

Washed away my sins

Loved me regardless

And regardless of what I gain as a D-boy

Working man, or artist

I'm nothing if I'm godless
