1
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:19,500
Father, forgive me
2
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:23,000
I'm staring at this Bible
as I keep glancing
3
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:25,400
Dear Lord, I got questions
and I need answers
4
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,000
Tryna understand your vision,
all I see is damage
5
00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:30,300
Just a bunch of dead bodies
in the street camping
6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,900
A bunch of lost souls on
their feet standing
7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,300
We supposed to be your children,
I thought we family
8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,900
You're supposed to be my Father,
bruh, I need answers
9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,300
We don't need to die young,
we just need chances
10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,700
Tired of living on the edge
so we keep scrambling
11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,300
Tryna talk to these strippers
but they keep dancing
12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,800
We just wanna be number
one like Steve Francis
13
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:50,200
Bow our heads, say a prayer,
now the seed's planted
14
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,700
Everywhere I turn, I'm
seeing MC's vanish
15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Lot of good niggas gone,
I don't understand it
16
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:57,900
Lot of families lost and
they sea stranded
17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,300
I ain't tryna disrespect you,
I just need answers
18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,800
I know you're watching us from heaven
thinking, "Who to save?"
19
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:05,100
Cherry pickin' who should go
next and who should stay
20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,400
I'd be on my way to heaven
if I knew the way
21
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,100
And bring back every good
nigga you choose to take
22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,600
They say you never wrong, but
you done made a few mistakes
23
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:15,100
'Cause you taking the wrong niggas,
maybe you should trade
24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,500
Trade us back all the real
ones, remove the fakes
25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,900
I think you should trade
26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,200
Give us 2Pac back, and take
that nigga Suge (Ooh!)
27
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,800
Let the legend resurrect and he
gon' live for good (Ooh!)
28
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:26,200
I been screaming "Thug life"
in every different hood
(Thug life, thug life)
29
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:28,800
If only you could bring him back,
Lord, I wish you would
30
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:31,200
Give us Biggie, give us
Pun, give us Triple X
31
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,800
Take that nigga Trump with you,
that's a bigger threat
32
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:36,200
There's too much power for a
coward with no intellect
33
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:38,600
That's a bigot with a collar,
there's a disconnect
34
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:41,200
Niggas dying, Mama crying,
Grandma need a tissue
35
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:43,800
Niggas shootin' up a church,
now I need a pistol
36
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:46,300
All them niggas still livin',
you don't see the issue
37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,700
But how you take Selena and then
you take Aaliyah with you?
38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,200
I ain't tryna disrespect, just need
to meet up with you (Lord)
39
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:53,800
I ain't tryna overstep, just want
to reason with you (Lord)
40
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:56,400
Give us back our loved ones and
take the evil with you (Lord)
41
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,800
Send them suckers straight to hell,
they don't need a vigil (Woo!)
42
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:02,500

I'm sending you this message, Lord,
I hope you hit me right back
47
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:14,800
They say I'm on the wrong train, I know
I'm on the right track (Yeah)
48
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:17,400
'Cause Trayvon gone, and all he
did was try to fight back
49
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:19,800
Zimmerman walk around free, we don't
like that (We don't like that)
50
00:02:19,900 --> 00:02:21,300
Why you take our mothers from us?
51
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,700
Our fathers and our sisters
and our cousins from us?
52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,300

And every gangsta wanna prove
that they tough or something
58
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:41,900
You know it's not fair, tell the truth,
I've been in my feelings too
59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400
But if you took Emmett Till,
at least take Dylann Roof
60
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,000
At least take James Holmes,
I ain't even mad at that
61
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,700
Just bring back Whitney, and give
