lyrics
God grant me the right to live a long life
Raise some kids and appreciate my wife
Remain strong, when things go wrong
but I'm thankful, even if this is my last song
VERSE I:
I’m tired of seeing lives lost, at too young of age
It’s kinda crazy seeing fights spark from the stage
Kinda looks like waves crashing, casualties of fits of rage
End up in hospitals if lucky, but too many graves
Lord Save Em
Ambulance is on the way
Somebody move this damn car, gotta clear the way
Time is more than money in this case, wouldn’t you say?
What a price to pay for having a good time.
Now let’s pray
CHORUS:
God, Please save us
This is my prayer
Life can seem impossible
At times I stop and stare (up at the sky like)
God, Please save us
This is my prayer
I close my eyes to make sure you’re still there
This is my prayer (repeat)
VERSE II:
My bills stack up taller when my bills lack
Stomach’s growling, I’m just trynna get a meal back
The hoop is raising, we might wanna get Shaquille back
So many frontin, I’m just trynna bring the real back
Scuffed kicks & without glue the heel flaps
Tough brick exteriors getting peeled back
My city's bankrupt, I’m outta gas & wheel’s flat
I mean tire, I’m just tired. Can you feel that?
Can you feel that, I’m in a bind and wanna steal that
Trynna be morally right, but on the real black
I gotta eat, and my conscience won’t let me fail
I’m a victim of show and tell
In a situation revealed
On the news,
Ironed my suit, and I shined shoes
Trynna go legit, while applying rules
Pink slips move quicker than my shoes
Is running for Mayor
We in recessions, there’s no dust on that chair
But the streets is where I’m keeping my ear
Come shake my hand at the fair
To those that’s listening, the message is clear
Don’t stop until the finish line you chase disappears
Stay yourself no matter what, it’s only you in the mirror
Hit the gas pedal fearlessly, and let God steer
God grant me the right to live a long life
Raise some kids and appreciate my wife
Remain strong, when things go wrong
but I'm thankful, even if this is my last song
