Lyrics

Dear Lord

[Verse 1]

Yeah

Livin' that life, livin' that life

Under them street lights

But it ain't bright enough to show me where I'm going

But I still find my way, and when I do I keep going, and I'm

A nigga with stripes

Try me and your family don't sleep right

Didn't think I was tough enough to make it on my own

But I could get through anything if I done made it through the storm, and umm

I'm killing that night, killing that night

Life on that East Side

Leather on chrome, television with the phone

And the top is so gone

I do it so right, I do it so right

They want me to be like

I'm in the zone, bad to the bone

Correct me if I'm wrong

[Hook]

Times is hard as it is

That's why I got guns and my guns got kids

And all I wanna do is handle my biz

And all I'm tryna do is whatever I did, Dear Lord

Everyday I've been praying to you

I hope You're hearing everything that I'm saying to You

I get money, money, money, money, money, money

Money, money, money, money, money, money

[Verse 2]

I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying

I'm dying to get over

And once I get over, good Lord I know

That all my drama's over

And I thank you

And I be with them niggas

And ain't none of them broke

They ride around with that rope, and they'll hang you

And leave your mama to cope

On that Holiday note

Damnnnn,Then they put a sign on the do'

Saying you don't know shit

Or else you dying in court, mannnnn

You gotta know how it go

Or else you could end up in another bump in the road

You see

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

A prisoner of this war

We call America

Where the President is the enemy

And he already won, damn

And Armageddon and depressions already begun

So excuse my expression

But it's my aggression

Cause I'm gonna spread you some

I know my people tired

Of all the crying, all the dying

All the time, we just trying

To get our mind off the crime and find somethin' to find

And did I mention not to mention

That my life is on the line

Give me light, and I'mma shine

Give me rope, and I'mma climb

I'm hoping that the Gates'll be open when I arrive

Until then, I'm alive

My job is to survive

So Lord, keep me in your eyes

I'm tryna say

[Hook]
