| Give me a pad and a pen, and I’ll let the lesson begin
|
| The only way to survive my life is straight up livin' in sin
|
| Keep on gettin' in where you fittin' in, but in case you get stuck
|
| Better keep your piece off safety, you got these niggas fucked up
|
| No matter how many times I get on my knees and pray, it don’t change
|
| Duckin' bullets, and the woman I love keep playing games with my brain
|
| Our relationship’s faded, I tried to save it
|
| But now she living with a nigga named David
|
| Lord, could you please have mercy on this soul of mine
|
| And release the blanket 'cause at night it gets so cold sometimes
|
| Tried to go from a life of crime, but see my hustle was hot
|
| Keep a razor blade to chop up all my twenties and dimes on the spot
|
| Oh yeah I came up in the church, Z-Ro know right from wrong
|
| But I gotta hustle to keep on eatin', because my felony postpone
|
| A nigga like me from gettin' a job, so how the fuck can I rest?
|
| Sometimes I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here
|
| I’ve been waitin' patiently
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here)
|
| Niggas steady hatin' me
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here)
|
| I’ve been waitin' patiently
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here)
|
| Why have you forsaken me?
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed)
|
| Now it’s 1999, the new millennium is upon us
|
| HPD got new technology, they gon' get us if they want us
|
| Under surveillance 24−7 up in this game, you can never tell
|
| Laws can’t see nan one of dem OZ’s
|
| But a snitch’ll provide the blind with braille
|
| Letters to read, indeed they wanna see me in a pine box
|
| You can tell I’m not havin' that at the moment I let my nine cock
|
| Release it cause I’m furious, refuse to let 'em capture me
|
| Can’t get me a little bit of rest because I know them hoes are after me
|
| I signed a major deal, you can see my video on TV
|
| Fuck cappin', I’d rather kick it with Shan-o, Boobie and DP
|
| 'Cause they never refuse my company when I show up at the do'
|
| Sometimes a place where everybody knows my name is where I wanna go
|
| Tell me do you know what they call me, 'cause you act like you ain’t heard of me
|
| But you better be ready to die if somebody sent you here to murder me
|
| 22, with a motherfucking beer belly
|
| Some say I’m an OG already because I’m still here
|
| I’ve been waitin' patiently
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here)
|
| Niggas steady hatin' me
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here)
|
| I’ve been waitin' patiently
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here)
|
| Why have you forsaken me?
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed)
|
| I wonder if my niggas really love me sometimes
|
| Would they give a fuck about Z-Ro if I couldn’t rhyme?
|
| It’s just a thought in my mind, I’m so tired of working my muscle
|
| I just came here to preach, didn’t give a fuck about a hustle
|
| Nigga don’t get me wrong, I’ve been known to bleed blocks
|
| Livin' on every local corner, on a first name basis with these cops
|
| I’ve been locked up so many times, depressed and in jail
|
| Ain’t got no free-world patnas that’ll make my bail
|
| I can see it in the sky, it must be destiny for me to be insane
|
| Feel the expression on my face, can’t you tell I’m in pain?
|
| I try to repent cause that’s a privilege that was given to me
|
| But when I talk to God it seem like he don’t listen to me
|
| Cause I’ll be fienin' for mercy, no matter how many times I whine
|
| I never get it when I want it, but it’s right on time
|
| I can see the world again, from foggy weather to clear
|
| But I still wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, cause I’m still here
|
| I’ve been waitin' patiently
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, 'cause I’m still here)
|
| Niggas steady hatin' me
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed 'cause I’m still here)
|
| I’ve been waitin' patiently
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed 'cause I’m still here)
|
| Why have you forsaken me?
|
| (I wonder if a nigga’s really blessed, I’m still here)
|
| Then, as I looked
|
| I saw the door standing open in Heaven
|
| And the same voice I had heard before that sounded like a mighty trumpet blast
|
| spoke to me
|
| And said
|
| «Come up here
|
| And I will show you what must happen in the future
|
| But for right now …
|
| I’m still here» |
