| Dear Lord please hear me this prayer ain’t for me
|
| This for the ones that struggle everyday with they belief
|
| That ain’t accepted you but still they relate to me
|
| So painfully I pray you make them able to receive
|
| I try to tell them about Christ and they ain’t trying to feel it
|
| When I act Christ like they say that I’m the realest
|
| But if I’m just a duplicate then who it is I’m trying to be
|
| Is really who they digging they just trying to fight the feeling
|
| Racism got them claiming its the white religion
|
| Scarred by slavery and all the whites that did it
|
| But slave owners just manipulated Bible scriptures
|
| They claimed Christian but never obeyed the writings in it
|
| They stumble off the imagery provided by the pictures
|
| Like why when I look at God he looks nothing like this
|
| You right and that description is not provided by the scriptures
|
| And folks will be held accountable when Christ arrives to get us
|
| And for you I’m just trying to help you make the right decision
|
| There’s only one God ain’t no black or white religion
|
| The devil used slavery to magnify division
|
| Now you trapped inside the prison of a past you not forgiving
|
| Forgive them
|
| Cause we done felt a lot of pain
|
| So Lord I know you feel us
|
| And we done seen alot of things
|
| So my prayer is that you heal us
|
| These scars they run so deep
|
| So deep (x2)
|
| These scars they run so deep
|
| So deep (x2)
|
| Some of them know some been listening to liars though
|
| Some of them just don’t care some of them trying though
|
| Without faith in you what do they rely upon to keep them righteous on the same
|
| street that guys are dying on
|
| Doctrine of the devils survival of the fittest
|
| Cause all I see it meaning is survival of the wicked
|
| It’s like you play a game and somebody starts cheating you
|
| You feel the only way to beat them is to become a cheater too
|
| They call it being tough Its really being weak
|
| Switching teams out of fear that you’ll see defeat
|
| That’s like a Crip in the room wit a hundred bloods
|
| Given the option to either dying or becoming one
|
| Homie I know it cause I did it
|
| I hustled cause I feared my way of living if I didn’t
|
| I’m familiar with the prison of the mind
|
| But in Him there is no fear
|
| Lord save those who though have an ear don’t hear
|
| Cause we done felt a lot of pain
|
| So Lord I know you feel us
|
| And we done seen alot of things
|
| So my prayer is that you heal us
|
| These scars they run so deep
|
| So deep (x2)
|
| These scars they run so deep
|
| So deep (x2)
|
| Some think is a wack religion or its not the black religion
|
| In America slavery is the only past were given
|
| Searching for a history that reaches past the masters whippings
|
| Dissing the Bible not knowing how many blacks was in it
|
| So they revert to Egypt we know that they were black
|
| So Moses had to be to fit in when the brought that baby back
|
| Joseph blended in so well his fam ain’t recognize him
|
| So how you think Mary took Jesus up to Eygpt to hide him
|
| And honestly back then there wasn’t even such a race as black
|
| It wasn’t until way later we started claiming that
|
| I can pick the bible up and show you everything that’s black
|
| The problem is you should praise him without me even saying that
|
| Worship the Lord who did what you could not do
|
| Cause you were made in is His image
|
| Not cause he looks like you
|
| I’m saying
|
| I understand why you feel how you feel
|
| But feeling don’t always tell you what’s real
|
| He is the truth and the way and the Life homie
|
| Cause we done felt a lot of pain
|
| So Lord I know you feel us
|
| And we done seen alot of things
|
| So my prayer is that you heal us
|
| These scars they run so deep
|
| So deep (x2)
|
| These scars they run so deep
|
| So deep (x2) |
