You tell me that there's love here

But to me it's blatant

Nothin' but all the blood here

I'm dealin with Satan

Plus with all the hatin'

It's hard to keep peace (uh huh)

Thou shall not steal

But I will to eat

I tried doin' good, but

Good's not too good for me

Misunderstood

Why you chose the hood for me

Me I'm aiight

I just had to work hard at it

Went to grama for answers

She told me that god had it

So now here I am

Confused and full of questions

Am I born to lose

Or is this just a lesson

And who it's goin' choose

When it gets turned around

And will it be

Layin' in my own blood

And on the ground

My child

I've watched you grow up

And I've been there (uh huh)

Even at those times

You least suspected it

I was there

And look at what I've given you

A talent to rhyme

I may not come when you call

But I'm always on time

Somebody's knockin'

Should I let em in

Lord we're just startin

But where will it end

Somebody's knockin'

Should I let em in

Lord we're just startin

But where will it end

But when the funds are low

The guns'll blow

Lookin' for that one that owe

Make em run that dough

No!

Put down the guns

And write a new rhyme

You'll get it all in due time

You'll do fine

Just have faith

Cuz you mine (uh huh)

And when you shine

It's goin' be a sight to behold

So don't fight to be old

Or lose sight when it's cold

See that light down the road

It's goin' guide you there

Two sets of footprints

I was right beside you there

But what about them times I

Only saw one

Those were the times that I was

Under the gun

It was then I carried you my son

Led you to safety

It just wasn't your time to face me (uh huh)

Ayo a few of them times I thought you would erase me

But all you did was embrace me

Prepared me for the worst

Offered me eternal light

And scared me with the hearse

And the curse

Turned to grace

When the hurt

Turned to faith

No more runnin' (uh huh)

And slidin' in the dirt

Cuz I'm safe

Somebody's knockin'

Should I let em in

Lord we're just startin

But where will it end

Somebody's knockin'

Should I let em in

So if I'm yo' man

I'm in yo' hand

Wus yo' plan

Never had a friend

Cuz you couldn't trust your man

Learned to stand before I crawled

Things were twisted!

And if you showed me anything at all

Then I missed it

Looked the wrong way (uh huh)

I've done some wrong things (true)

Kept a bad attitude

But that's what wrong brings

And now you mean to tell me that

After all this time

It was you that kept the dog from goin' out of his mind

It was you that breathed life

Into my lungs when I was born

And it was you that let me know

What was right

From what was wrong

And it was you that let me do

What I knew what could be done

And it was you that gave me a good wifE

And a beautiful son

And It's been you speakin' to me

Inside my mind

And it's been you who has forgiven

Time after time

It was you who opened my eyes

So I could see

And it was you who shined yo'

Light on me
