Dear God (Explicit) - Shyheim/Pop da Brown Hornet

Dear god I wonder can you save me

I'm working out in this world that you made g

Homicide rapes and robberies

When it happens in my neighborhood police they look for me

I'm the first suspect in the projects

I got this f**ked up rep that keeps me behind a step

Always broke so I got this attitude

In my lab never fool my man this is crazy rude

Gyros and pizza be my lunch and dinner

I know that I'm a sinner but god help me out ni**a

I got problems that only death could solve

A high school drop out and my ged won't get me no job

My family be callin' me a loser

Moms she's a boozer got me living life with no future

The only thing that keeps me strivin' is rhymin and uhh

Bump n grindin' besides that I feel like dying

Word to my peoples in the essence

I send my blessings

I know you gone but it might be for the best

'Cause life is full of stress

And the projects you won't progress

God f**k the world it's a mess

Dear god as I look into the sky

I pray to you and I wonder why

I wonder why things be the way they are

So until then I pray for better days tomorrow

I'm in another world looking from the outside in

A corrupt planet operating strictly off sin

You ask me will I miss this joint when I pass

The world can kiss my a** I'm staring at the hour glass

Every day lived is a step towards death

It's not 'til you're dead that your bodies at rest

A funeral should be a celebration everyone embracing

This song'll be my dedication unto

The two cent as my cousin' Duana and case

Rest in peace no one can ever take your place

The pain is eternal

No one to turn to when I sit and think about you

No longer in the physical

Dealing with your spiritual essence

You're gone but we still feel your presence

Nothing can bring you back black

Still and all it's just a fact that you gone

Dive I intox on the bar a dagger in the heart

For every life force that gets a brand new start

It's the harsh reality you're forced to deal with

Another family hit crawling in a endless pit

Of sorrow no one's promised tomorrow

Dear god as I look into the sky

I pray to you and I wonder why

I wonder why things be the way they are

So until then I pray for better days tomorrow

Dear god as I look into the sky

I pray to you and I wonder why

I wonder why things be the way they are

So until then I pray for better days tomorrow

It seems like the good times vs the bad times

Yo I barely go to school 'cause crime be on my mind

F**k local hits to leakers that's all in the past

And I'm living for the future gotta make the great cash

Slow down shorty goodness come to those that wait

If you move too fast I might be going to your wake

True indeed but I got mouths to feed

Members of my family upstate in need for commisary

And if you stressin' me gettin' the best of me

So it seems like life is my worst enemy

Don't let it get to you shy

Life is what you make it you can't escape it

Play you like a b**ch and just take it

Hell no 'cause when I'm goin' I'm goin' out with style

With two macs going to war with the other side of town

Ain't nothing sweet about me pop let them niggaz know

I'm counting blood money 'cause I'm a thug honey

I use the world as my zoo I ain't no f**king dummy

I'm street smart I tear a college grad apart

I gets amped when I think about the slave camps

I feel the pain use a tec 9 to brake away the chain

Yo calm down big fella everything gonna be right

Go looking for them blues you got a ni**a wanna do right

Don't sweat it just play the game of life at your best

Life is full of stress and in the projects you won't progress

Shy f**k the world it's a mess

Yeah right

Dear god as I look into the sky

I pray to you and I wonder why

I wonder why things be the way they are

So until then I pray for better days tomorrow

Dear god as I look into the sky

I pray to you and I wonder why

I wonder why things be the way they are

So until then I pray for better days tomorrow
