Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heavenly Father
Creator of All Things
I humble myself as I bow to your throne
[Verse 2]
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness' sake
Before I sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
Heavenly Father
[Verse 3]
Lord forgive me for the killings in the past
All the corrupt business and dealings that I had
All these pregnant ladies that I served up on the Ave
Had me feeling like I'm Bishop when I held my first gat
They killed Tom right in front of his home
They even murked Ski in my MPV
So I dropped to my knees, why it couldn't be me?
Why you had to leave me here to deal with all this envy?
Even though I got freedom I feel like I ain't free
Everybody dying trying to be something they can't be
A couple hundred million is something we'll never see
So we speed, crashing headfirst into a tree
[Verse 4]
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness' sake
Before I sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
Heavenly Father
[Verse 5]
I've paid ****' rents, even paid ****' bails
Gave **** jobs so they wouldn't go to jail
Did so much dirt, **** knew I wouldn't tell
Payed for some funerals, they probably went to hell
I don't owe nobody nothing man, I gave that bitch a mil
I ain't beatin' 'round the bush, I'm just speaking on what's real
I ain't talking on no bullshit, man, I'm talking 'bout what's real
I ain't justifyin' beatings, but she cheated on my nilz
Cheated with his brother, goddamn this bitch ill
Prolly the reason my **** never left a will
Things you'd never know, have mercy on his soul
Big Pun, one of the most realest I ever known
[Verse 6]
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness' sake
Before I sleep, I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
Heavenly Father
[Verse 7]
When I die know they bury me a G
Don't cry for me, just let a **** be
In other words, let your **** rest in peace
I've been going so hard and I barely got sleep
Lord I know my mamma gonna take my passing hard
But let her know in these streets her little boy was God
Last Of the Mohicans, I was taking motherfucker's hearts
Many wars, you could see it in the bullet scars
Lord, could you forgive me for my sins?
Let me fly with you, help a **** spread his wings
Azariah, you'll forever be my queen
Just know for now, daddy had to go and meet the king
[Verse 8]
Heavenly Father
Before I sleep I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness' sake
Before I sleep I pray to the Lord my soul to keep
And if I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
For goodness' sake
[Verse 9]
Heavenly Father, creator of all things
I humble myself, as I bow to your throne
Heavenly father
