I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin ain't right Black hate white, white hate black, it's right back to the same fight They got us suspectin a war But the real war is to follow the law of the lord
[DMX] Lord, you left me stranded, and I don't know why Told me to live my life, now I'm ready to die Ready to fly, I cry, but I shed no tears You told me you would dead those fears, it's been years Snakes still comin at me - just missin Sometimes I think all you do with me is just listen I thought that I was special - that's what you told me Homey - stop actin like you don't know me What'd I do so bad that it sent you away from me? Not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me? (My child I'm here, as I've always been It is you who went away and now are back again What did I say?) Follow your word, and be true (What did you do?) Well, what I wanted to do (What have you seen?) Darkness and hell at a glance (What do you want?) All I want is another chance
[DMX] (Just because you went away, my doors are not locked Wanna come back home? All you gotta do is knock) You see I left home a boy, but returned as a man Full grown, and I'm still not able to stand (I gave you a hand) Well, but I was lookin the wrong way Figured out the plan, then I started to pray And that prayer, took me from here - over there - back to over here, now it got me like where - do I belong, do I fit in? Things on my mind, where do I begin? It's easier to sin, but it hurts my heart I'm really tryin to win, so where do we start? (Thou shalt not steal) But what if he stole from me? (Thou shalt not kill) But what if he's tryin to kill me? (Thou shalt not, take my, name in vain No matter how hard it rains, withstand the pain)
Chorus 2X
[DMX] I'm ready to meet him -- our father, who art in heaven I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance at twenty-seven No longer afraid to knock on your door Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war After what I just saw, I'm ridin with the Lord Cause I really can't afford to lose my head by the sword And now that I've seen, what I need to see Please take me, where I - need to be (What have you learned?) It's better to tell the truth than to lie (What have you learned?) To love my life until I die (What have you learned?) Violence isn't always the key (What have you learned?) You can't always believe what you see (What have you learned?) It's better to forgive and forget (What have you learned?) Give as you expect to get (What have you learned?) That I can't go on without you (What have you learned?) I musta been a fool to ever doubt you!
