[00:04.72]You tell me that there’s love here
[00:05.96]But to me it’s blatant
[00:07.28]Nothin’ but all the blood here
[00:08.66]I’m dealin with Satan
[00:10.09]Plus with all the hatin’
[00:11.37]It’s hard to keep peace (uh huh)
[00:12.95]Thou shall not steal
[00:13.98]But I will to eat
[00:15.54]I tried doin’ good, but
[00:16.92]Good’s not too good for me
[00:18.53]Misunderstood
[00:19.58]Why you chose the hood for me
[00:21.27]Me I’m aiight
[00:22.64]I just had to work hard at it
[00:24.46]Went to grama for answers
[00:25.35]She told me that god had it
[00:26.54]So now here I am
[00:27.60]Confused and full of questions
[00:29.06]Am I born to lose
[00:30.51]Or is this just a lesson
[00:31.77]And who it’s goin’ choose
[00:33.03]When it gets turned around
[00:34.48]And will it be
[00:35.31]Layin’ in my own blood
[00:36.44]And on the ground
[00:37.42]My child
[00:38.31]I’ve watched you grow up
[00:39.26]And I’ve been there (uh huh)
[00:40.46]Even at those times
[00:41.35]You least suspected it
[00:42.31]I was there
[00:42.97]And look at what I’ve given you
[00:44.02]A talent to rhyme
[00:45.29]I may not come when you call
[00:46.43]But I’m always on time
[00:49.52]Somebody’s knockin’
[00:51.57]Should I let em in
[00:54.49]Lord we’re just startin
[00:57.00]But where will it end
[01:00.01]Somebody’s knockin’
[01:02.22]Should I let em in
[01:04.83]Lord we’re just startin
[01:07.70]But where will it end
[01:09.59]But when the funds are low
[01:11.96]The guns’ll blow
[01:12.86]Lookin’ for that one that owe
[01:14.64]Make em run that dough
[01:15.82]No!
[01:16.57]Put down the guns
[01:17.51]And write a new rhyme
[01:18.32]You’ll get it all in due time
[01:19.74]You’ll do fine
[01:20.45]Just have faith
[01:21.11]Cuz you mine (uh huh)
[01:22.05]And when you shine
[01:22.78]It’s goin’ be a sight to behold
[01:24.23]So don’t fight to be old
[01:25.66]Or lose sight when it’s cold
[01:27.05]See that light down the road
[01:29.09]It’s goin’ guide you there
[01:29.72]Two sets of footprints
[01:30.76]I was right beside you there
[01:32.47]But what about them times I
[01:33.55]Only saw one
[01:34.26]Those were the times that I was
[01:35.50]Under the gun
[01:36.47]It was then I carried you my son
[01:38.03]Led you to safety
[01:39.20]It just wasn’t your time to face me (uh huh)
[01:41.37]Ayo a few of them times I thought you would erase me
[01:43.45]But all you did was embrace me
[01:44.82]Prepared me for the worst
[01:46.10]Offered me eternal light
[01:47.45]And scared me with the hearse
[01:48.61]And the curse
[01:49.47]Turned to grace
[01:50.31]When the hurt
[01:51.06]Turned to faith
[01:51.88]No more runnin’ (uh huh)
[01:52.59]And slidin’ in the dirt
[01:53.67]Cuz I’m safe
[01:54.30]Somebody’s knockin’
[01:56.93]Should I let em in
[02:00.21]Lord we’re just startin
[02:02.41]But where will it end
[02:05.98]Somebody’s knockin’
[02:07.70]Should I let em in
[02:11.05]So if I’m yo’ man
[02:11.65]I’m in yo’ hand
[02:12.45]Wus yo’ plan
[02:13.36]Never had a friend
[02:14.68]Cuz you couldn’t trust your man
[02:16.12]Learned to stand before I crawled
[02:18.12]Things were twisted!
[02:18.94]And if you showed me anything at all
[02:20.69]Then I missed it
[02:21.73]Looked the wrong way (uh huh)
[02:22.91]I’ve done some wrong things (true)
[02:24.42]Kept a bad attitude
[02:25.74]But that’s what wrong brings
[02:27.28]And now you mean to tell me that
[02:28.68]After all this time
[02:30.15]It was you that kept the dog from goin’ out of his mind
[02:32.49]It was you that breathed life
[02:33.73]Into my lungs when I was born
[02:35.18]And it was you that let me know
[02:36.26]What was right
[02:37.25]From what was wrong
[02:38.14]And it was you that let me do
[02:39.25]What I knew what could be done
[02:40.64]And it was you that gave me a good wifE
[02:42.20]And a beautiful son
[02:43.56]And It’s been you speakin’ to me
[02:44.87]Inside my mind
[02:46.01]And it’s been you who has forgiven
[02:47.48]Time after time
[02:49.05]It was you who opened my eyes
[02:50.21]So I could see
[02:51.43]And it was you who shined yo’
[02:52.81]Light on me
