Heavenly Father
Creator of all things
I humble myself
As I bow to Your throne
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness sake before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
Heavenly Father
Lord, forgive me for the killings in the past
All the corrupt business and the dealings that I had
All these pregnant ladies that I serve up their ass
Have me feeling like complete shit when I held my first gat
They killed Tom right in front of his home
They even murdered Steve and my empathy
So I dropped to my knees, why it couldn't be me?
Why you had to leave me here to deal with all this envy?
Even though I got free, you might feel like I ain't free
Hated by the gang tryin' to be something they can't be
A couple hundred million is something we'll never see
So we speedin', crashing headfirst into a tree
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness sake before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
Heavenly Father
I've paid niggers rents, even paid niggers bells
Gave niggers jobs, so they wouldn't go to jail
Did so much dirt, niggers knew I wouldn't tell
Paid for some funerals, they probably went to hell
I don't owe nobody nothin', man, I get a bitter meal
I ain't beatin' around the bush, I'm just speakin' on what's real
I ain't talkin' on no bullshit, man, I'm talkin' about what's real
I ain't justifying beatings when she cheated on my nails
Cheated with his brother, god damn, this bitch ill
Probably the reason my nigger never left a will
Things you never know, have mercy on his soul
Big Pun, one of the most realest I ever known
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness sake before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
Heavenly Father
When I die, I know they'll bury me a G
Don't cry for me, just let a nigger a be
In other words, let your nigger rest in peace
I've been goin' so hard and I barely got sleep
Lord, I know my mamma gonna take my pass at heart
But let her know when these streets are little [Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible] take a motherfucker's heart
Many wars, you could see it on the police cars
Lord, could you forgive me for my sins?
Let me fly, would you help a nigger spread his wings?
As I ride, you'll forever be my queen
Just though for now, Danny had to go and meet the King
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness sake before I sleep
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness sake
Heavenly Father
Creator of all things
I humble myself
As I bow to Your throne
Heavenly Father
