[00:17.90]Father, forgive me
[00:20.30]I'm staring at this Bible as I keep glancing
[00:23.10]Dear Lord, I got questions and I need answers
[00:25.50]Tryna understand your vision, all I see is damage
[00:28.10]Just a bunch of dead bodies in the street camping
[00:30.40]A bunch of lost souls on their feet standing
[00:33.00]We supposed to be your children, I thought we family
[00:35.40]You're supposed to be my Father, bruh, I need answers
[00:38.00]We don't need to die young, we just need chances
[00:40.40]Tired of living on the edge so we keep scrambling
[00:42.80]Tryna talk to these strippers but they keep dancing
[00:45.40]We just wanna be number one like Steve Francis
[00:47.90]Bow our heads, say a prayer, now the seed's planted
[00:50.30]Everywhere I turn, I'm seeing MC's vanish
[00:52.80]Lot of good niggas gone, I don't understand it
[00:55.30]Lot of families lost and they sea stranded
[00:58.00]I ain't tryna disrespect you, I just need answers
[01:00.40]I know you're watching us from heaven thinking, "Who to save?"
[01:02.90]Cherry pickin' who should go next and who should stay
[01:05.20]I'd be on my way to heaven if I knew the way
[01:07.50]And bring back every good nigga you choose to take
[01:10.20]They say you never wrong, but you done made a few mistakes
[01:12.70]'Cause you taking the wrong niggas, maybe you should trade
[01:15.20]Trade us back all the real ones, remove the fakes
[01:17.60]I think you should trade
[01:19.00]Give us 2Pac back, and take that nigga Suge (Ooh!)
[01:21.30]Let the legend resurrect and he gon' live for good (Ooh!)
[01:23.90]I been screaming "Thug life" in every different hood (Thug life, thug life)
[01:26.30]If only you could bring him back, Lord, I wish you would
[01:28.90]Give us Biggie, give us Pun, give us Triple X
[01:31.30]Take that nigga Trump with you, that's a bigger threat
[01:33.90]There's too much power for a coward with no intellect
[01:36.30]That's a bigot with a collar, there's a disconnect
[01:38.70]Niggas dying, Mama crying, Grandma need a tissue
[01:41.30]Niggas shootin' up a church, now I need a pistol
[01:43.90]All them niggas still livin', you don't see the issue

[01:48.80]I ain't tryna disrespect, just need to meet up with you (Lord)
[01:51.30]I ain't tryna overstep, just want to reason with you (Lord)
[01:53.90]Give us back our loved ones and take the evil with you (Lord)
[01:56.50]Send them suckers straight to hell, they don't need a vigil (Woo!)
[01:58.90]I need you to give us back Martin Luther, take Martin Shkreli (Take!)
[02:02.60]Give us back Malcolm, take R. Kelly
[02:04.90]R.I.P. Lil Snupe, give that boy his life back
[02:07.50]Take Eric Holder, give us Eric Wright back
[02:09.90]I'm sending you this message, Lord, I hope you hit me right back
[02:12.30]They say I'm on the wrong train, I know I'm on the right track (Yeah)
[02:14.90]'Cause Trayvon gone, and all he did was try to fight back
[02:17.50]Zimmerman walk around free, we don't like that (We don't like that)
[02:19.90]Why you take our mothers from us?
[02:21.40]Our fathers and our sisters and our cousins from us?

[02:36.50]And every gangsta wanna prove that they tough or something
[02:38.90]You know it's not fair, tell the truth, I've been in my feelings too
[02:42.00]But if you took Emmett Till, at least take Dylann Roof
[02:44.50]At least take James Holmes, I ain't even mad at that
[02:47.10]Just bring back Whitney, and give us Michael Jackson back
[02:49.80]Feds want me in the slammer, damn

[03:02.90]Wonder why you give us life for you to take it from us (Woo!)
