Damn, another funeral, another motherfucker Lord knows 'Pac is choking on blunt smoke Lord knows coughing harder Lord knows one final cough I smoke a blunt to take the pain out And if I wasn't high, I'd probably try to blow my brains out I'm hopeless, they shoulda killed me as a baby And now they got me trapped in the storm, I'm goin crazy Forgive me; they wanna see me in my casket And if I don't blast I'll be the victim of them bastards I'm loosin hope, they got me stressin, can the Lord forgive me Got the spirit of a thug in me Another sip of that drink, this Hennesey got me queasy Don't wanna earl, young nigga take it easy Picture your dreams on a triple beam, and it seems Don't underestimate the power of a fiend To my homies on the block Slangin rocks with your glocks put this tape in your box When you're runnin from the cops -- and never look back If they could be black, then they would switch Open fire on them busta-ass bitches, and Lord knows... (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) Lord knows coughing again (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) The Lord knows still coughing (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) The Lord knows (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) I wonder if the Lord will forgive me or bury me a G I couldn't let my adversaries worry me And every single day it's a test, wear a bulletproof vest And still a nigga stressin over death If I could choose when a nigga die, figure I'd Take a puff on the blunt, and let my trigga fly When everyday it's another death, with every breath It's a constant threat, so watch yo' step! You could be next if you want to, who do you run to? Murderin niggaz, look what it's come to My memories bring me misery, and life is hard In the ghetto, it's insanity, I can't breath Got me thinkin, what do Hell got? Cause I done suffered so much, I'm feelin shell-shocked And driveby's an everyday thang I done lost too many homies to this motherfuckin game And Lord knows... (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) Lord knows (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) Lord knows! (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) The Lord knows (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) One-time! One-time! Fuck the five-oh cause they after me Kill me if they could, I'll never let em capture me Done lost too many niggaz to this gangbangin Homies died in my arms, with his brains hangin, fucked up! I had to tell him it was alright, and that's a lie And he knew it when he shook and died, my God Even though I know I'm wrong man Hennesey make a nigga think he strong, man (heh heh) I can't sleep, so I stay up, don't wanna fuck them bitches Try to calm me down, I ain't givin up I'm gettin lost in the weed, man, gettin high Livin everday, like I'm gon' die (gon' die, gon' die) I smoke a blunt to take the pain out, and if I wasn't high Probably try to blow my brains out Lord knows... (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) Lord knows! (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) Lord knows. Jesus. (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!) (He is listening!
