Peter Gunz]

you know what they say

God forgives all sins

except suicide

then I guess I'll be a'ight

'cause I ain't gon' kill myself

you know



I was raised atheist, God was a myth

never prayed 'cause I never seen, and I was never with

kneelin' on my knees, just thankin' Jesus

for stuff that I received when I wasn't receivin'

it's like

thanks for the lights that ain't on

thanks for the food that's gone

and my stomach's tight empty

thanks for the clothes that ya sent me

they tight and kids laugh, so I be cuttin' school, a'ight

I wanna thank you for my brother smokin' crack

I also wanna thank you for my cousin gettin' shot in his back

I wanna thank you for my friends that's gone

I mean they all under thirty right, but life goes on

I wanna thank you for my moms being sad

thanks for the house with the swimming pool I never had

I wanna thank you for my Uncle Bill, smart enough to get his PhD

he got HIV

I wanna thank you for my pops, what a joke

work hard all of his life and got nothin' to show

I wanna thank you for the lives that you moved

I also wanna thank you for the cancer that you gave E-Smooth

and I'm sorry my belief is low, can you tell me where to go

heaven or hell, eleven to twelve

and I'm ready when you ready, just tell me don't breath

will you forgive me 'cause I didn't believe?

all I know is that...



[Chorus-Peter Gunz]

when it's my time to go

all I wanna know

am I gonna see him or see you?

give me a clue, tell me what to do

will you open the gates or am I through

forgive me for my negatvie thoughts and all my sins

from what I know now Lord I wish I knew then

I seen alot of bad, never had reason to beleive

now I simply thank you for this air that I breath



[Lord Tariq]

yo, you know people used to say this kid's really crazy

that religion and forgivin' church stuff never fazed me

livin' off the word of a teacher

my friends up the block gettin' fat sellin' crack to the preacher

Johova's witness says he witnessed, but he never seen

what he seeks is forever green, and he forever fiend

I used to hit the mas now and then

me and X used to bill with these guys that was five percent

but see, one thing I learned in life being hard

is no matter who you serve in life, there's one God

wether you're black or white, Chinese, Japanese

you breath the same air I breath, bleed the same blood I bleed

that's why I'm sayin' you're wrong

if you're sayin' my song is blasphomy, just ask of me

I got God in me just like an artery

If I offended you then pardon me

the things I seen in life hardened me

wanna treat the next man like a slave

and go to church shoutin', holy ghostin' and

claimin' you're saved

then you think because the offer that you gave, you forgivin'

but you better fix the life that you're livin'

you wanna be God-filled, steady sinnin', change your ways

'cause you know it's really money that you praise

it's time to wake up, drop yo' blunt and put away the beer

'cause I'm feelin' like the last days is here

for real



[Chorus]



[One Accord]

forgive me Lord

for I have sinned

and now I know

I know you exist

(I wanna thank you
