Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear Lord, I ask for the strength to change what I can change
And the strength to accept the things that must remain
[Verse 2]
Have you ever seen them curtains closing on you?
Have you ever seen that light inside the tunnel?
And have you ever watched the nightmares rewinding?
And when your heart stops, the clock keep on ticking
When you gonna put your mask away
All this shit like a masquerade
Them young boys say fuck your accolades
Bullet holes all through your resume
I don't understand why it be this way
I don't wanna live just to pass away
They said that bullshit here to stay
Then fuck this place if that's the case
Never give a fuck about the baddest bitch
Never give a fuck about the fastest whip
And do I really care about a money bag
If that shit can't bring the family back
Too much hate in my habitat
You don't even know who you blasting at
If he go shoot then you go pop
We all got goons so it never stops
[Verse 3]
See the faces all around me getting colder than my blood
Keep your circle pat 'cause they might stab you in your front
Now my heart is going broke and I done gave up all my trust
I got nothing left to lose and I done ran up all my luck
So tell the devil come and get me 'cause I'm dying anyway
Tell me Lord would you forgive me if I shoot him in his face
I would never let you down, I put that on my future grave
Yeah I'm closing out this chapter, right my wrongs and turn the page
You could live how you wanna but you always gonna pay
Keep my chin above the water and I pray it do not rain
And this game you never winning if you try and play it safe
Only way to change my mind is maybe bullets to my brain
Yeah they took your big homie, put 2 shots in to his lungs
So you go and load that chopper, load them pussies up with slugs
Even if them cowards rotting in a jail you light 'em up
Break into that prison cell and make sure that the job is done
[Verse 4]
Can you feel the pain in my body?
See the flames in my eyes
Hit them up like bye-bye
Tell the devil I say hi
But that ain't what God want
And that ain't what I want
I could never take your life
Just for me to go waste mine
That ain't what my homie want
'Cause either way my homie gone
I could make that chopper spark
But I can't turn back the clock
[Verse 5]
It's gonna take more than church for me to let it go
I hope that God got the shit that I can't control
I know that hope is the answer but that hope is broke
Because that hope never seem to make you pockets grow
And I said God could you let me be your second favorite son
Hey I told my momma hold on, say a prayer for me once
Tell the devil come and get me 'cause I'm dying anyway
Tell me Lord would you forgive me if I shoot him in his face
I would never let you down I put that on my future grave
Yeah I'm closing out this chapter, right my wrongs and turn the page
You could live how you wanna but you always gonna pay
Keep my chin above the water and I pray it do not rain
And this game you never winning if you try and play it safe
Only way you'll change my mind is maybe bullets to my brain
[Verse 6]
Have you ever seen your reflection leave you?
And your shadow leave on the darkest evening
Have you ever seen your own family doubt you?
Have you ever heard them demons talk about you?
Have you ever seen them curtains closing on you?
Have you ever seen the light inside the tunnel?
And have you ever watched the nightmares rewinding?
And when your heart stops, the clock keeps on ticking
