Confess (feat. Killer Mike)

I want what I want, how I want, when I want it

I'ma keep it a hundred, I'm blunted, I don't give a damn

I don't give a fuck about another man, fuck a brother man

I'ma make it, make it rain like a weatherman

Ol' girl shoulda, shoulda got a better man

Ass fat, lookin' good in my letterman

In the hood, I'm a better man

Wish a motherfucker would, would

Whole life, I was up to no good

Change it all if I could

Rearrange my heart to beat good

But I can't, I'ma sinner, not a saint

Layers of my life, no, I can't

Cover it up with paint

Keep on livin', livin'

Livin' on money and women

As soon as I'm in 'em, I'm out

Now the truth never come out my mouth

Speak life, when I come in her mouth

Like, I'm a dirty motherfucker, a waste of life

A waste of skin, wanna repent, don't know where to begin

Next of kin don't give a damn 'bout me

I know God don't give a damn 'bout me

People try, but don't know 'bout me

But the devil said that he want my soul

But the devil said, and then he won my soul

Give it to me right now

Give it to me right now

Give it to me right now

Give it to me right now

Can somebody save me?

I need you to save me

To wash away my sins, oh Lord

I'd rather be a different man in another world

Than work for the man in my universe

Wonder what it'd feel like?

Take flight, mama told me, "Everything gon' be all right"

I mean, my life can't be all fright

But come to think about it

Everybody runnin' the world seem to be all white

Can you motherfuckers see alright?

I mean, I need it, I want it, I gotta have it

Every day tragic

If you're from where I'm from, every day ain't magic

All this, I know

I been tellin' everybody I'ma give it a go

I know I been there before, feel it in my soul, oh, I know

Love it or hate it, I made it, I did it, I live it

With the whole world lookin' at the boy like, "Whoa!"

Baptized in a ocean of Hennessy

Really wonder what the remedy

Tell me, how the world gon' remember me?

Got me feelin' like the enemy

Like I ain't got no energy

I been lookin' for an entity

Feelin' like I need to chill

Like I need a new amenity, fuck all that

I'm a dirty motherfucker, a waste of life

A waste of skin, wanna repent, don't know where to begin

Next of kin don't give a damn 'bout me

I know God don't give a damn 'bout me

People try, but don't know 'bout me

But the devil said that he want my soul

But the devil said it, that he want my soul

Give it to me right now

Give it to me right now

Give it to me right now

Give it to me right now

Can somebody save me?

I need you to save me

To wash away my sins, oh Lord

My love, let's live the wrong way

I know I did you wrong in my own way

But it was the flashing lights that mesmerized

That hypnotized the only part of me you love

Part of me that has strength to rise above

Part of me you know

Part of me you love will not let it go

Dear God, I just wanna know why

Why do You put us here?

Why do You put us below?

Why do You put us subservient?

Why do You put us below these evil motherfuckers?

And if we crawl and we scratch our way out

We betray each other, we lie, we take from one another

And we're told, You gon' forgive us at the end?

But the state don't forgive us

I'm locked up with half my friends

And then, when I get out or I make it out

I'm expected to somehow give back to people

Who never wanted to see me escape

I'm startin' to hate the man in the mirror

And it's gettin' clearer that society was designed to keep me on the bottom

So if You're real, if You're out there for real

Please explain to me, why?

Why do we suffer? Why do we die?

And why do the people who go against everything You ever said

Always get ahead?

I've done so much wrong

I don't know if I could ever be right

But tonight, I am in this church asking You to show Yourself

To reveal Yourself to me

Because I'm tired and I don't know what else to do

So black, I'm blue, so brown, I'm down

I done been everywhere but up

And when I finally get up

I am ravaged with guilt and pain and shame

And all I wanna do is believe in You

The darker you are, the closer you are to dirt

And they make sure it hurts, and I am tired of hurtin', man

I'm tired of being looked at, second guessed, doubted, feared

So if You out there, do something about this

'Cause I can't take it no more

Help me
