| Our Father, who art in Heaven
|
| Thank You Lord, Lord, thank You Lord
|
| No matter how hard I cry it just don’t seem loud enough
|
| (That's right, y’all could stand up and rejoice now)
|
| Lord I hope You’re hearing me
|
| (We about halfway through the road)
|
| This goes out to the lonely streets
|
| (We got about another hundred years to go)
|
| And all my brothers sick of crying y’all
|
| No matter how hard I cry it just don’t seem loud enough
|
| (And God is good that’s right God is good)
|
| Lord I hope You’re hearing me
|
| (In fact God is not good sometimes)
|
| This goes out to the lonely streets
|
| (He's good all the time)
|
| And all my brothers sick of crying y’all
|
| I got a letter from my nigga in prison
|
| He said he shooked them and its
|
| Too far to drive don’t even worry about a visit
|
| All he needed was a couple pictures
|
| And a few dollars, that way he ain’t have to worry
|
| About borrowing from a nigga
|
| Told me to check on his old girl
|
| Make sure it’s all good for her and the kids
|
| But Hell I already did and then he asked me about his shorty
|
| I hate he asked me about his shorty
|
| 'Cause its been some years since I saw him
|
| Him not knowing his baby’s momma’s horror
|
| And ever since the days he’s been gone
|
| She’s kinda trapped in a storm
|
| But he goes on and on about when he gets home
|
| And then he mention every nigga that did him wrong
|
| Put him right back where he started at
|
| But he ain’t snitched
|
| So he feels that them niggaz in his click
|
| They ought to pay for that
|
| He did his time, day for day, without turning snake
|
| 'Cause real O G’s don’t even take please
|
| No matter how hard I cry
|
| It just don’t seem loud enough
|
| Lord I hope You’re hearing me
|
| This goes out to the lonely streets
|

|
| Lord I hope You’re hearing me
|
| This goes out to the lonely streets
|
| And all my brothers sick of crying y’all
|
| See when I pray I pray for everybody
|
| I pray to God bless America
|
| That way these terrorist can’t tear us up
|
| But I’m sick and tired of a lot of other things
|
| And the bottom line is we gotta set examples for the kids
|
| We first ought to teach them love 'cause these days
|
| Us niggaz got too much hatred installed in us
|
| The radio and TV they just can’t get enough this great big old world
|
| I guess it still just ain’t big enough
|
| But y’all listen cuz I’m holding on playa
|
| The Lord ain’t brought me that far just to drop me off here
|
| Y’all keep arguing about religions
|
| While y’all referring to y’all old books of the Bible
|
| Y’all all out to miss the last bus to Heaven
|
| See everybody gonna wait, ain’t gonna be no fighting
|
| No pushing, no cussing, nope not at the gate
|
| 'Cause everybody gonna meet there
|
| And niggaz you ain’t even like in your first life
|
| They gonna walk by you and speak, so
|
| No matter how hard I cry
|
| It just don’t seem loud enough
|
