If I got a burning fire, feel the flames.
For my loved ones.
Exhale in this game.
You got it wrong.
As I lay me down to sleep, I pray to the Lord that my soul he keeps.
Nobody weeps for the Jedi, but like my antidote, still we ride.
Mama tried to keep me home at night, but despite her attempts I hung with the max and the pimps, sided with the rips
Not because I like blue, but you like red.
I did it because I never did like you.
And that's it.
It's a good not young.
I don't recognize myself, what have I become?
Can you tell me, why am I here if we're a dead end?
Well, I got another dead friend while they surround me.
Dead men everywhere I look, riding up.
Flip another page of the book of life and death.
It's coming.
I feel it booting down my back.
It got me running.
Grambling and cutting no slack.
What can I do?
Where can I go?
Lord, forgive me for all I did because I didn't know.
And with my horror boots, it's last tick.
Somebody say these three words in my casket.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, forgive me for all the wrong that I did.
All of the pain that I inflicted as a kid.
Consider this before you curse me I was only a child so Lord have mercy Forgive me for all the wrong that I've done
All of the pain I inflicted was not for sure I'm just in debt for sitting this book while you curse me
I was only a child, so Lord have mercy.
If I get down before I wake, don't shed a tear for me, mama, because I finally escaped.
No more drama.
No more blood, sweat, and tears.
No more pressure from my peers and no more fears.
I rest in peace.
How long will it last?
For I have to answer for what I did in the past.
Ealing, ruling and dealing.
Cops always after me.
I call it survival and you call it misanthropy.
But let the record reflect.
Circumstances are suspect.
But you couldn't care less, man.
While I struggled to survive, you turned your eyes.
Plugged up your ears and gnawed my cries.
Now Miss America saying we scary enough.
For seeking to give me liberty of death.
I'm daring enough.
Either one to set me free.
That's all I want to be.
But that ain't what y'all want to see.
You'd rather see me killing up my own than the ghetto.
Or selling bro to anybody black, brown, and yellow.
But forget that.
I'm trying to get my head right.
Even if it mean I gotta get there tonight.
Lord have mercy, forgive me.
Lord forgive me for all the wrong that I did.
All of the pain that I inflicted as a kid On Christmas Day Consider this the one you cursed me
I was only a child, so Lord have mercy and forgive me for all the wrong that I've done.
All of the pain I afflicted when I was young.
Enjoy every day, consider this before you curse me.
I was only a child, so Lord have mercy.
Give me all the blood that his body bled and all the tears that his mommy shed.
The book says thou shalt not kill, but I done seen more blood spill than all the vets on Hamburger Hill.
It's real, post-war syndrome.
Went to see my homie, but his momma told me the homie been gone.
Every time I turn around, a big enough body on the ground with fresh-climbed sharp wounds, but he...
Didn't hear a sound when he came out the boom.
Nobody told him he would be dead so soon, but the gays went boom.
Miss America, I know you got a cure for AIDS, but we need a cure for rage.
We got a rampage.
Can you feel it?
The tension's in the air thick.
Hey, we so high, I'm getting air sick.
Got my purple broke with the four plus the four.
Doing it one day at a time.
Up your soul.
Up and on.
Won't revenge.
I got a beretta name.
Been there the time to answer for your sins.
Man.
When your music created, tell them I snared I apologize, but I got a bribe Have mercy, forgive me Lord, forgive me for all the wrong that I did
All of the pain that I inflicted as a kid On cosmic day Consider this before you curse me
I was only a child, but Lord have mercy and forgive me for all the wrong that I've done.
All of the pain I afflicted when I was young.
Rejoice in the day, consider this before you curse me.
I was only a child, so Lord have mercy and forgive me.
