Listen!...Listen!...huh...Listen!



Government got it where u can't do shit no mo'

The water ain't no good, the grass don't grow

Never mention schools ain't safe no mo'

killing in the 1st grade six years old

Ask yo self this, In what kind of world is that to raise yo children

Then again it really don't matter, where you gone go,

you still gotta live it

Let's face reality, stop talking bout peace that's a thing of the past

But then again that's a bald face lie,

cause a few years ago you was hanging my ass

??? no presidents, sometimes the whole world just pressed up against me

Think about it, young black man, come up set up for penitentary

Do the math, all on you, choose yo path, be a leader, pray for strength

Know when to cap and when to blast

Get back on track, we damn near got past crack, then every dope dealer got

snatched back, we all wit the black on black

That's sad, Is it really in our nature what make it so bad

But I ain't no better then the rest of ya'll,

plus I came up in a house wit out no dad

I knew that you left, ??? ??? you didn't won't to

But that how it is, Lord help us, You know what we going through



Hook:



It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands, that's why I'm praying to God

Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water

It's your world, but we yo children yo son's and yo daughters

We struggling trying to get it together, but some of us ain't gonna see

tommorrow...some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow,

I know some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow

Somebody tell me what you get in a relationship

with nothing but silence, silence

We ain't married so we can't get divorced

so the only thing left is domesticated violence

When a man uses a woman to take out his problems

He abuses that woman, then man must recognize his assignment

We got two kids and you pregnant again so how can we profit

That's BULLSHIT! That ain't no reason to pull her arm out the socket

Baby I'm so sorry, you know that I luv you and didn't wanna hurt you

When I put my hands on ya, I was wrong so I don't deserve ya

I never thought I'd see the day when they scrap a nigga

when they talk about 'em on the t.v.

Now my sister flipping in the grave,

cause that's a cheap ??? and I know this can't be me

Lord help her forgive me, God give me my purpose

Jesus break this chains, you know this a vintage circle

But I got my trust in you,

I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel

I done been in many situations, she was there each and everyone of 'em

Keep me humble, I wanna take time out write down and thank ya, thank ya

Trying to make it wit out you is something we can't do

Lord tell them you difference

between having eternal life or forever burn, burn

Lord tell em you was wit me when I had my accident

and my truck started flipping and turnin',

When it feel like I was dying from the moment of impact,

we rolled ten times

I was down on my best, that fool came on my side of the line

But when the truck did finally stop moving I was just fine

My little brother that was on the passenger said must of got hurt

cause he was unconscious

We done had our tradegy's, we was just talking so this can't be happenin'

But before I could say anything else,

I saw the helicopter and the ambulance

My little brother came back through, first thing he said was,

"What is going on"

But the next thing he said was, "watch over me lord and keep me strong"

And right then and there, I knew every thing was gone be alright

But we ain't promised nothing

So thank you my lord for saving his life
