Let me try some verse vibes
Sittin' in a church and don't know why
Hopin' that my faith could change my life
Tell me where my savior, pay my tithes
I want my fuckin' heaven before I die (Hallelujah)
Spent my whole life thinkin' it's a long shot
I ain't tryna die young, gifted, and broke
Preachers still blind to their own lies (Yeah)
How could you blame them foreclosed eyes? (Oh God)
Dope fiends and dice games, gunshots and heartbreaks
Syrup sandwich and rice cake, quit livin' in hell for Christ sakes
The cost of livin' is irate so the drug game gyrates
Through the cracks of these inner city corners (Yeah)
You look your child in the eyes and feel shame
Disappointment and pain and your
Excuse is you've done all that you can
To try to do more 'cause when he was four you thought he'd be more
And now that he's not, you left him
Ignored but you better hug him before
The block come rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that boy
Father made a felon that will forever be unforgived
For what he's done to reap the benefits
Of succeedin' through sin (Yeah)
You played your cards right but life dealt
You a ace and a three (Ace and a three)
Now you takin' a risk to Texas, hold them bands out of greed
You poker facin' through poverty, won't gamble your honesty
Just to be a minority with no fuckin' authority, Lord
Ain't no glory in this game 'til you gone
And even then, it's only glory 'cause you got done wrong, come on
Father God, can you hear me callin'?
Everything that they said was dishonest
Oh, God, are we all lost?
I said, Father God, can you hear me callin'?
'Cause everything that they said was dishonest
Oh, God (Hail Mary), are we all lost? (Hail Mary)
My life, my God, oh Lord
Just white Jesus, oh Lord
No black Jesus, oh God
Where's black Jesus?
My life (Yeah), my God (Yeah), oh Lord
Just white Jesus, oh Lord
No black Jesus, oh God (Lord)
Where's black Jesus? (Yeah) Oh, God
Bills late, granny sick, mama just came home from jail (Yeah)
Uncle smokin' pixie dust and my daddy can't get granted bail
Paw-paw paralyzed, I took my baby steps with Uncle Mel
Some nigga broke my auntie heart and now she only date females
Alcohol on my breath, I'm seein' demon spirits leavin' (Yeah)
My blessings bein' misused (Yeah)
I don't know if it's my uncle's drug
Habits that my mama produced (Uncle)
Or the fact that she would grind like Griselda to get the loot (Shit)
Sorry if that went over your head, I'm just sayin'
Shit, my mama was a drug dealer too (Drug dealer too)
There's no difference between mama and you (Yeah)
She had a crew like you (Yeah)
She turned one into two and could stretch four out a few (Yeah)
The realest hustlers is women, the truest liars is niggas
Forgettin' shit that you told me, my
Nigga, I see the symptoms, fuck (Shit)
But real lies get real lives, real lives
I sit and smoke while me and God watch
This shit in real time, come on (Yeah)
I watched my mama turn her man to a dope fiend
Same nigga shootin' up tried to mold me (Woo)
Cocaine on the sheets (Woo)
Cocaine on the streets
My life, my God, oh Lord
Where's black Jesus? (Woo)
Cocaine on the streets (Woo)
Where's black Jesus?
Father God, can you hear me callin'?
Everything that they said was dishonest
Oh, God, are we all lost?
I said, Father God, can you hear me callin'?
'Cause everything that they said was dishonest
Oh, God, are we all lost?
Hail Mary
Them streets is cold, they don't love you at all
Hail Mary (Them streets is cold, they don't love you at all)
I brought the world to a broken heart
Lay down and know I will not give up
Them streets is cold, they don't love you at all
