I-I long for lovin' and affection
These hoes ain't what I need, I need direction
Don't leave me, please, swear I learned my lesson
But, I still chase thrills, I'm imperfected
I don't want to talk on the phone, leave me a message
Voices still in my head, voices still in my head
Beef with my closest of friends and made no amends
I'd rather kill him instead
Out of all of the rumors to spread
You pick the one that's gon' get us some fed time
Corey still calling with deadlines
Shame on the Devil
I'm touched by an angel
The Lord made me special (made me special)
I've prayed for days like this (thank God)
Shame on the Devil
I'm touched by an angel
The Lord made me special (so special)
I've prayed for days like this (amen)
Mission complete, outta the mud
Got labeled a leader they following, 'cause
There's light on my feet, floatin' above
I don't be creepin' or keepin' in touch
I know some hoes that'll pull up to give me some pussy before they come give me a hug
Shit is disgustin'
But then, only the heavens can judge
Look what I'm jugglin', Tommy the clown
Momma 'nem found a way
Keepin' me clean, wipin' me down
Loved when that Boosie and Webbie would play
Passing the Getty to pull up on bae
Getting them Malibu chills (chills)
Though we not talking as much as we should, know that I'm proud of you still
Sliding for Shelly and Phil
If I don't do it, who will?
Tell me, who shoot for the shooters?
Who gon' look after Medusa?
Life is a bitch, hit it, then quit
Deal with the karma, the sutra
Fuck up some commas like Future
Shame on the Devil
I'm touched by an angel
The Lord made me special (made me special)
I've prayed for days like this (thank God)
Shame on the Devil
I'm touched by an angel
The Lord made me special (so special)
I've prayed for days like this (amen)
Dear God, forgive me for my sins (need a good day)
Forgive me for trespasses and those who trespass against me (I hope that it's a good day)
For they know not what they do (I hope that it's a good day)
And who they do it to (I really need a good day, ain't had too many good days)
Please help me, father (keep praying, I hope that it's a good day)
Keep prayin', keep prayin'
Keep prayin', keep prayin' (keep praying)
Keep prayin', keep prayin' (let's eat and keep praying)
Keep prayin', keep prayin' (in Jesus Name)
Amen
