00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:19.500
Father, forgive me
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.000
I'm staring at this Bible
as I keep glancing
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:25.400
Dear Lord, I got questions
and I need answers
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:28.000
Tryna understand your vision,
all I see is damage
00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.300
Just a bunch of dead bodies
in the street camping
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:32.900
A bunch of lost souls on
their feet standing
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.300
We supposed to be your children,
I thought we family
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:37.900
You're supposed to be my Father,
bruh, I need answers
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.300
We don't need to die young,
we just need chances
00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:42.700
Tired of living on the edge
so we keep scrambling
00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:45.300
Tryna talk to these strippers
but they keep dancing
00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:47.800
We just wanna be number
one like Steve Francis
00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:50.200
Bow our heads, say a prayer,
now the seed's planted
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:52.700
Everywhere I turn, I'm
seeing MC's vanish
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.200
Lot of good niggas gone,
I don't understand it
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:57.900
Lot of families lost and
they sea stranded
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.300
I ain't tryna disrespect you,
I just need answers
00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:02.800
I know you're watching us from heaven
thinking, "Who to save?"
00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:05.100
Cherry pickin' who should go
next and who should stay
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.400
I'd be on my way to heaven
if I knew the way
00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.100
And bring back every good
nigga you choose to take
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.600
They say you never wrong, but
you done made a few mistakes
00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:15.100
'Cause you taking the wrong niggas,
maybe you should trade
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.500
Trade us back all the real
ones, remove the fakes
00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:18.900
I think you should trade
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.200
Give us 2Pac back, and take
that nigga Suge (Ooh!)
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:23.800
Let the legend resurrect and he
gon' live for good (Ooh!)
00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:26.200
I been screaming "Thug life"
in every different hood
(Thug life, thug life)
00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:28.800
If only you could bring him back,
Lord, I wish you would
00:01:28.900 --> 00:01:31.200
Give us Biggie, give us
Pun, give us Triple X
00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:33.800
Take that nigga Trump with you,
that's a bigger threat
00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:36.200
There's too much power for a
coward with no intellect
00:01:36.300 --> 00:01:38.600
That's a bigot with a collar,
there's a disconnect
00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:41.200
Niggas dying, Mama crying,
Grandma need a tissue
00:01:41.300 --> 00:01:43.800
Niggas shootin' up a church,
now I need a pistol
00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:46.300
All them niggas still livin',
you don't see the issue
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.700
But how you take Selena and then
you take Aaliyah with you?
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:51.200
I ain't tryna disrespect, just need
to meet up with you (Lord)
00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:53.800
I ain't tryna overstep, just want
to reason with you (Lord)
00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:56.400
Give us back our loved ones and
take the evil with you (Lord)
00:01:56.500 --> 00:01:58.800
Send them suckers straight to hell,
they don't need a vigil (Woo!)
00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:02.500
I need you to give us back Martin Luther,
take Martin Shkreli (Take!)
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:04.800
Give us back Malcolm, take R. Kelly
00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:07.400

boy his life back
00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:09.800
Take Eric Holder, give
us Eric Wright back
00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:12.200
I'm sending you this message, Lord,
I hope you hit me right back
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)
00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:17.400
'Cause Trayvon gone, and all he
did was try to fight back
00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:19.800
Zimmerman walk around free, we don't
like that (We don't like that)
00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:21.300
Why you take our mothers from us?
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.700
Our fathers and our sisters
and our cousins from us?
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.300
Got these children getting murdered
while they double dutchin'
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.800
Wonder why the fuck you take
Nipsey Hussle from us?
00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:31.200
Damn, you took a true king,
a true brother from us
00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:33.700
This a fuckin' marathon, but
they runnin' from us
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.400
Now everybody got guns,
niggas up to something
00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:38.800
And every gangsta wanna prove
that they tough or something
00:02:38.900 --> 00:02:41.900
You know it's not fair, tell the truth,
I've been in my feelings too
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.400
But if you took Emmett Till,
at least take Dylann Roof
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:47.000
At least take James Holmes,
I ain't even mad at that
00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:49.700
Just bring back Whitney, and give
us Michael Jackson back
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.900
Feds want me in the slammer, damn
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.200
Ain't no justice for Sandra Bland,
we up like the ceiling fan
00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:57.500
Lord, if you listenin', I'm just
lookin' for a hand to hand
00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:00.100
Take out the fuck niggas and
give us back our fam again
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:02.800
Drownin' in my tears, tryna
pray for something (Woo!)
00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:05.400
Wonder why you give us life for
you to take it from us (Woo!)
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:07.700
Wonder why you give us family then
erase them from us (Woo!)
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.400
