| Of course I’m thankful for another day, my Lord I can’t lie
|
| But everytime I wake up, seem like one of my people gotta die
|
| Anthrax poisoning, Hussein and them blew up the Trade Center
|
| Summer, Fall, Spring, Winter, people in the projects getting thinner
|
| Barely enough government cheese, left to feed the rats
|
| But we gotta get it how we live, and how we live is selling crack
|
| How we live is kicking doors, how we live is pimping whores
|
| How we live is what we do, so we don’t live like this no more
|
| How we live is wrapping em up, shipping em out wait to receive
|
| An overloaded Houston Texas, niggas make they own bleed
|
| Every night another murder scene, that could of been prevented
|
| But the truth is we most def, and the last soul tormented
|
| Every now and then I duck my head, up in the sunday service
|
| That’s the only place where 5−0, won’t burst us bust us
|
| Nigga they don’t love us, they wanna relocate us to the Penn
|
| We wanna do right, but all we see is sin
|
| In this land, we need you Jesus
|
| Lord have mercy, we need shelter in the time of storm
|
| Uh-huh, well, well, well
|
| Yeah, Rostafar-i help me, help me
|
| All the young picking them, living in a rush just to get wealthy (wealthy)
|
| And in the ghetto, we struggle or we hustle till we bubble
|
| On top, eliminating competition when we buck shot
|
| Don’t press that new, but a new clear shot
|
| Fire, fire, fire, fire (fire)
|
| Too many sickness and disease, under attack from overseas
|
| Mighty job me and for God, please come save the day
|
| If I should die before I wake, me leave a blessing for me people today
|
| Mighty job me and for God upon you, take this pain away
|
| Now I lay me, down to sleep
|
| I pray the Lord keep my body, as my enemies creep
|
| Don’t wanna be another statistic, living through c.d.'s
|
| Either the graveyard or max. |
| security, prison you’ll see G’s
|
| Look at the homie’s little girl, she ain’t nothing but sixteen
|
| Trying to support three kids, so she stay coming out her jeans
|
| Getting pimped, by somebody that still live with they mama
|
| But that’s the only way she know, to get away from all the drama
|
| As for books, the mind is a terrible thing to waste
|
| As for crooks, the nine is a terrible thing to taste
|
| Ask them niggas that don bit the bullet, but they still here
|
| My nigga we ain’t seen God befo', but we still fear
|
| I asked him for a blessing, and he sent me Eugene
|
| Now I got two cars, a crib and everyday I dress clean
|
| But it ain’t no love, they wanna put a nigga in the Penn
|
| I wanna do right, but all I see is sin |
