AMEN (Explicit)

My father, who is now in heaven

I know your name, when your kingdom is done

The weak will run from earth like they once hid from heaven

Brothers rappin' on slow, like they on drugs

They need bigger hugs, father was a thug

Mother was bugged, she didn't care, shoulders shrugged

Bugged out, whole family for generations

They gotta do without, never get a piece of the pie

Whole life's a big ol' lie, and when they die

Life's confusion, start abusing just to get by

It's so amusing how, we're still losing

Swallow my pride, walk away so I can hide when I cry

Keep that bottle within, I can't tell a friend

About the troubles I be seeing, have them all shook, misbelieving

Lean back, take another hit, **** got me fiending

Diggin' my own grave in the dirt

Why does this life hurt so heavy?

I don't think I was ready, but I see now

I see I had no choice, so I guess I use my voice

Stop stressin', my only joy is to rejoice

And speak life after every lesson

Cherish every breath that I breathe

Because when it's all over, I'll be one of God's soldiers

Who still believes, and that's no lie

Promise back to the day that I die

One life, one love, and that's my honest truth

I ain't got **** to prove, but if you need some proof

Rule some **** that I did, level my ego

I do what Jesus did, turn over tables

Then resurrect the dead, I keep that third

I said I stayed where most had strayed

So paralyzed, they stayed so afraid

Played the game, master of their own charade

Forgive me God, for I too am flawed

Spoiled the kid and spared the rod

Cause you only know what I did

This is what I saw, that **** was deep

So now I lay me down to sleep

And I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

And I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

Amen
