Watch Over Me
Lord, I've seen em comin
Please don't take my breath away
From me while I'm runnin they got me jumpin
From these slugs that they gunnin
Simple and plain, it ain't a game no more
They headhuntin
Listen, Lord, I'm scared, fearin for dead
I'm racin with these hollow points
Which slip past my head
Who ever said that life's easy?
Come teach me Lord
Cause it's the only way for you to reach me
So - many - nights - I've - cried
So - many - times - I've - lied
So - many - of mine - have died
But I - still keep you - inside
Lord, help me get away, give me some wings
So I can fly away
Please don't let my family cry today
No longer am I choosin the
Wronger over the righter way
Anything you say, just show
Me a brighter day, huh?
My eyes are so scarred blind, so I go hard
No matter the robbery
I hope he watches over me
Lord, I never asked you for none of this
Now I'm contemplatin' suicide
How it come to this?
Lord, please explain what we livin in
How I know right from wrong but
Still choose livin in sin
Lord, if this a test, can you tell me that
Will I pass or at the end
Will I feel your wrath?
I try to do right but the
Wrong always held me back
My moms tell me this but
The flack tell me that lord, listen
I know you see the way we act up
With no remorse for the cats
Who got clapped up
I told them once, turned around
Even told them twice
Tried to let em live but by
The third it was nothin nice
Lord, is there a clue that you can send me
To help me out just so
That you don't condemn me?
What would you have done had
You would've been me
How was I to know money bred envy? Uh
Lord, how do I live in a
World that is so insane?
With little joy but there's double pain
I know you gonna see everything
That's on my brain
And I don't make the rules
I only play the game
And I'ma win, lying, cheating or stealing
If robbing means that I'm eating, I will
If I gotta live this life
Then I'm packin a steel
Survival of the fittest and I go for the kill
Uh, Lord, if you want then I will listen in
Temptation is a bitch, diamonds be glistenin
It's like the Devil be comin
Up and kissin men
Had Terrar out there hustling, missling
When I speak, you don't always respond back
Right now
You got me waiting on the call back
Lord, I beg that you don't
Ever let me fall back regardless what I do
You know where my heart's at right?
