I shall not fear no man but God

Though I walk through the valley of death

I shed so many tears

If I should die before I wake

Please, God walk with me

Grab a nigga and take me to Heaven

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery

Left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed

Inside my mind, couldn't find a place to rest

Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest

Tell me can you feel me?

I'm not living in the past, you wanna last?

Be the first to blast Remember Kato

No longer with us, he's deceased

Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets, now rest in peace

Is there heaven for a G? Remember me

So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears

Ah, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears

Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now that I'm struggling in this business, by any means

Label me greedy gettin' green, but seldom seen

And fuck the world 'cause I'm cursed, I'm having visions

Of leaving here in a hearse, God can you feel me?

Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain

Show me some happiness again, I'm going blind

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears

Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now I'm lost and I'm weary

So many tears

I'm suicidal so don't stand near me

My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer

To embrace an early death, now there's nothing left

There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest

I'm barely standing, 'bout to go to pieces, screaming peace

And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it

I had my mind full of demons trying to break free

They planted seeds and they hatched, sparking the flame

Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game

No memories, just a misery

Painting a picture of my enemies killing me in my sleep

Will I survive 'til the mornin' to see the sun

Please Lord forgive me for my sins, 'cause here I come

Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears

God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Lord knows I tried, been a witness to homicide

Seen drive-bys takin' lives, little kids die

Wonder why as I walk by

Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, getting high

This ain't the life for me, I wanna change

But ain't no future bright for me, I'm stuck in the game

I'm trapped inside a maze

See this Tanqueray influenced me to getting crazy

Disillusioned lately, I've been really wanting babies

So I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady

Don't trust my lady 'cause she's a product of this poison

I'm hearing noises, think she's fuckin' all my boys, can't take no more

I'm fallin' to the floor, beggin' for the Lord to let me in

To Heaven's door, shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears

I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears

God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
