I'm so tired of runnin this block
Tryna hold my head duckin the cops
I'm a slave to change that's why I stay pumpin them rocks
yea I got a gun on me
I aint tryna get shot
So I guess I gotta shoot first
Anybody step out of line ill have em rollin out in a new hearse
I move first cuz I aint tryna lose first
but every step I takin kinda makes my mood worse
cuz I don't want my son to live his life the same
And my momma tellin me that her jesus is the way
And I feel like he's callin
but I'm in too deep and I wanna leave now before it all ends
*God if u real like I heard
Then tell me what to do cuz I'm tired of the curb
I'm Tired of the life, tired of myself
I wanna run away and I heard that u can help
So I come forth openly, touch me and help me see
I don't kno who I'm supposed to be, is there any hope for somebody like me? Please
I'm tied down and I can't breathe
these streets gonna take the best of me
They tell me that you bled for me
that your love was the recipe
I kno I don't deserve your peace
after all of my selfish deeds
I will die if u don't help me
Tell me is there any hope for me?
They say a womans worth is something unique
But My worth diminishes with every guy that I sleep
See I was abused that's a secret I keep
now the voices in my head say my future is bleak
Aint Nobody gon love me, thats what I believe
So I play the game of life, hopin ill receive
A good card, so I date guys with good cars
you got a benz? Then I can be ur friend
And if you got money then my love will never end
They only want my body aint no reason to pretend
I'm scared of getting sick, I don't want my life to end
But when I try stop I end up starting up again...
*God if u real like they say
Then i really need you to hear me while I pray
Im tired of the lust , tired of the games
And I don't want my son having to see me in a grave
So I come forth openly, touch me and help me see
Is there hope for a woman like me?
I wanna live my life brand new with no more sheets
I feel trapped and I can't breathe
Im so tired of the life I lead
They tell me that you bled for me
that your love can be my destiny
Cuz all that I can do is grieve
With all the heart breaks that ive received
Im gonna die if you don’t save me
I need your love now to come bathe me
Dear God I'm only 9 years old
I got a lot of friends but I feel all alone
My daddy sells drugs
My mommy sleeps around
Whenever I cry nobody hears the sound
Cuz all I see is pain
My momma said she gonna change
But it seems like everything jus stays the same
Yea she buys me clothes, gets me all the games
But shes never home and I need her to explain
Why my Dad is always in and out of the PEN
Why they not together why he on the streets with his friends
But shes too busy hangin out with different Men
I wish that everything could change for me before I turn 10
*God I kno you real, Grandma said
That if I ask u for a favor and believe you will let
My favor come true so now I ask
That you bring my mom home and let my Dad come back
I know that you can do all things
Touch me and let me see
Everything that you want for me
Teach me how to live like you so mom and dad could see , please
Their tied down and they can't see
Could you please give them air to breathe
I know that you bled so we
Could live our lives to our destiny
Cuz I don't wanna see them dead
I need my family free instead
Is there hope for a kid like me?
I'm on knees begging Jesus please
