| Microphone check 1−2
|
| Z-ro crookin' in the building
|
| Y’all know me
|
| But I’d like to introduce to you
|
| A friend of mine
|
| We go way way way way back
|
| Rotha Vandross
|
| So if you will, if you please
|
| Sittin' in the courtroom, waitin' on the outcome
|
| Prosecutor don’t want me to go back to my house hah
|
| Right here, right now he wanna lock me
|
| He probly wish another negro brother would’ve shot me up
|
| And he don’t even know me
|
| He just know what he read
|
| But as long as Jesus didn’t write then he might be misled
|
| Even if he knew I’m a good person he would still be giving
|
| Innocence or guilt don’t matter
|
| He tryin' to get a conviction
|
| Day before yesterday I saw a child get 40 years
|
| Time gets passed out like candy and you see your mother shed tears
|
| Me, myself, I’m facing 2 to 20 messed up huh?
|
| Going to trial for something I got a prescription for
|
| No attempted murder, no aggravated assault
|
| Never ran away from the police, didn’t have to be caught
|
| And before I’ll beat on a woman I’ll make my exit
|
| The quickest way to get a 5 year sentence down in Texas
|
| I walked through straight and narrow though at times I fall off
|
| But I have done nothing to nobody so call the dogs off
|
| My auntie something like a doctor
|
| She prescribed Isiah 54: 17
|
| No weapon formed against the shall prosper
|
| And I believe it too cause I’ve been in some tight spots
|
| No matter what I was facin' Jesus was always in the right spot
|
| Nah I can’t put my hands on him but I can touch him
|
| And when he touch me back he say gangsta don’t worry 'bout nothing
|
| 'Cause you and me
|
| And me leaving you alone can never be
|
| Even if I’m facing an army
|
| Ain’t no way they can harm me
|
| I’m a stone
|
| I gotta go through it a little while
|
| But not for long
|
| 'Cause pretty soon I’ll be home
|
| Then I won’t have to look for heaven in a woman no more
|
| Baby momma, drama and fake ass friends
|
| And jealousy and envy, it done all come to an end
|
| 'Cause finally I’m in heaven
|
| How ya doin' mama?
|
| I haven’t seen you in such a long time
|
| Well mam, busy too
|
| And DJ screw
|
| H-A-W-K and Big Moe
|
| And P-A-T and the whole S-U-C
|
| When I’m asleep or I’m out on my grind
|
| I dream of heaven, heaven
|
| When I’m facing the worst of times
|
| I can still feel heaven, heaven |
