I've done wrong, so wrong
Ain't nobody can take me
I've been lost, so lost
Looking for something to save me
And lord I try, I try, I try
Lord knows I try, I try, I try
Look, all Afghanistan ain't Taliban
All blacks ain't thugs and all crips don't hate bloods
All cops don't hate bruh's, we all looking for paystubs
Yeah I'm from the sticks of Georgia and it's straight for us
Jehovah, Allah or the great Horus
No matter who you pray to, I pray that you pray for us
And don't worry, I'll wait for it
Life seems shorter every day as I get old
Thinking 'bout my childhood friends that's been gone
Yeah I lost my way but somehow still on ten toes
Treat every human being like they're my kinfolks
I've done wrong, but think I've done more right
Running through the streets, ain't been home in like four nights
Ain't a baptism that can get my soul right
So I'mma keep searching, might take my whole life
Cause I've done wrong
I've done wrong, so wrong
Ain't nobody can take me
I've been lost, so lost
Looking for something to save me
And lord I try, I try, I try
Lord knows I try, I try, I try
Yeah, 40 acres and a box Chevy
Took a country road to smoke, cause my conscience heavy
Trying to work it out, the stress alone be causing headaches
Me and my past meet again but this time I'm ready
For anything, Mr. Cool, Calm and Collected
Tried chasing paper but I'd rather die respected
Read between the lines and bump this 'til you get the message
Money don't mean everything, there's so much more that gets neglected
Shit is hectic, every now and then it hits the fan
Used to have the upper hand, didn't really understand
The challenge was to keep it going, nowhere fast, no running man
Tried and tried again, another thousand times is what I can
Hustle this and double that, smuggling some contraband
Contemplating conversations, honestly without a plan
Foolishly I figured out that stupid me without a doubt
Can easily make mistakes and send me down the tragic route
I've done wrong, so wrong
Ain't nobody can take me
I've been lost, so lost
Looking for something to save me
And lord I try, I try, I try
Lord knows I try, I try, I try
Came a long way but still got farther to go
Where I'm gon' end up only the father would know
Told me have faith, follow my heart and my soul
Don't get lost chasing the dough, the cars and the clothes
All I got is my flow, long as the good lord willing
Long as there's breath in my lungs to recoil what I'm feeling
Can't ignore the feeling once it shoot up in my bones
Spirit speaking to me, spit it through the microphone
Trying to right my wrongs, trying to write 'em through song
But I been fighting so long, feel like my vice is too strong
Prone to getting blown like a pipe and a bone
Papa be rolling stone, plenty nights of Patron
Miles away from home, wife and child all alone
As I roam the unknown, in and out of zones
Got no worries as long as I get a dial tone
Lord I call on you, 'til you call your child home
I've done wrong, so wrong
Ain't nobody can take me
I've been lost, so lost
Looking for something to save me
And lord I try, I try, I try
Lord knows I try, I try, I try
