[Intro] Dear heavenly father I come to you today To remove all these evil spirits Keep us out of harm’s way Never allow us to die broke
[Verse 1] I pray for them children who woke up this morning and lost they life How dare the government passin’ these laws to remove the Christ As soon as a tragedy happen the person you call is God Now people obeyin’ and prayin’, they prayin’ I’m sayin’ it’s odd Fuck the world – the government too I’m keepin’ it real, them killers are still in political suits And I hate it, it’s people, it’s nothin’ my brother or sister could do But sit back and pray as we watchin’ the news and we take the abuse What train of thought is tellin’ you shoot up a movie theatre? What kind of fool gon’ walk in a school and off them angels? It could me my moms, my brother or sister, a friend that I knew The funny thing is, it could’ve been me, it could’ve been you I’m tired of people complainin’ about the little shit When I just lost my grandmother to that cancer bitch You woke up this morning – why the fuck is you mad? You broke as a joke – get up off your ass I hustle like niggas is broke even though I be countin’ the cash I gotta get it – like I’m down to my last Put that on my mama, don’t wanna go through them tears again ‘Cause when you are broke, it’s nobody there, including your friends Lord knows… the realest shit I ever wrote But through all the bullshit I throw up a sign of hope… But through all the bullshit I throw up a sign of hope
[Hook] Fuck the world – the government too I’m keepin’ it real, them killers are still in political suits And I hate it, it’s people, it’s nothin’ my brother or sister could do You can hate it or love it, but youngin’ I’m simply speakin’ the truth
[Verse 2] I woke up this morning and I got the news that my homie was shot Out on the block and in front of his daughter, believe it or not Good people are sayin’ and prayin’ for innocent murders to stop We livin’ in Hell and it’s easy to tell some people are shocked Who are you people to judge me ‘cause of the way that I live? The way that I grind, the things that I did, the person I am Everyone got opinions but niggas as broke as a joke I went to them schools and spoke to the children that need it the most I gave away toys, I gave ‘em a speech, delivered ‘em hope It’s a blessing to become a blessing, my mama would set it in stone Fuck these niggas hatin’ on me Hate is such a weak emotion And money is the root of evil But that’s that shit that keeps me focused Sometimes I still can’t believe I’m a father No pain can describe on how to reside with losin’ a daughter Fuck this world – the ignorance too They want me to fall, but still I continue to lace up this shoe Society’s being misleaded, I’m simply giving you proof Them people is sellin’ these lies, I’m simply speakin’ the truth Lord knows… the realest shit I ever wrote But through all the bullshit I throw up a sign of hope… But through all the bullshit I throw up a sign of hope
