[00:39.21] You gon' get cut up however you slice it
[00:40.88] Talked to the Lord, if He told me that it's alright (bless You)
[00:44.74] I still walk in the dark, I'm a risk-taker
[00:46.28] Seen my brother go down over big faces
[00:47.92] Lawyers hittin' my phone over big cases
[00:49.74] Gave my life to the dark, I was nocturnal
[00:51.73] Mama said, "Change," I was not turnin'
[00:53.41] So full of trauma, it's not funny
[00:55.36] It's some things that I done, I can not stomach, it's alright (bless You, Lord)
[00:58.97] Yeah, it's not accidental, Texas to Chi Town, I hopped in that rental
[01:01.26] O-Block to K-Town, I rolled instrumentals
[01:03.01] I'm walkin' through blocks where they clutchin' they pistols
[01:04.97] Me and my lady was duckin' in Memphis
[01:06.62] Shootouts and murders, we prayed through the trenches
[01:08.50] They think I do this to sell my lil' tickets
[01:10.23] They wasn't 'round when we went on them missions (bless You)
[01:12.33] Walkin' through prisons, I gave 'em life even after the sentence
[01:14.87] I don't want money, just pay me attention
[01:16.80] Already loved, what's a like or a mention?
[01:18.41] I don't play games, I just play my position
[01:20.21] Been to Saint-Quentin, I walk the yard out in Sternum by Denver
[01:22.92] Filled with the Spirit, I'm prayin' with killers
[01:24.82] I told 'em I know 'bout a God who forgive 'em (bless You, Lord)
[01:27.10] I got the joy of the Lord in my system
[01:28.59] I lost my cousin, but still got his memories
[01:30.27] They took his life, but they can't take his spirit
[01:32.16] I've been through too much to be worried 'bout a critic
[01:33.95] I know He love me in spite of my sinnin'
[01:35.72] I'm not independent, I'm leanin' on wisdom
[01:37.58] I need intervention, I'm pleadin' the fifth
[01:39.32] 'Cause these demons be snitchin' like Jesus ain't with me (bless You, Lord)

[01:57.23] Life is a gamble, I'm learnin' to dice it
[01:59.07] You gon' get cut up however you slice it
[02:00.86] Talked to the Lord, if He told me that it's alright
[02:04.50] I still walk in the dark, I'm a risk-taker
[02:06.13] Seen my brother go down over big faces
[02:07.77] Lawyers hittin' my phone over big cases
[02:09.78] Gave my life to the dark, I was nocturnal
[02:11.56] Mama said, "Change," I was not turnin'
[02:13.47] So full of trauma, it's not funny
[02:15.20] It's some things that I done, I can not stomach, it's alright (bless You, Lord)
[02:18.07] It's some things that I did that the devil said, "Boopie, you can not come back from it" (on God)
[02:20.43] I'm supposed to be feelin' the hurt, this what I deserve, instead He came back for me (yeah)
[02:24.41] Yeah, my mama, she kept us in church, but it was too easy to end up with crack money
[02:27.87] So I started to empty my Apple computer to rap while my cousin was Mac' dumpin'
[02:31.65] Got it jumpin' like you seen a rat runnin' through the crib
[02:34.12] He paid for my sin and was payin' the bills
[02:35.80] I wasn't signin' no label when I kept on askin' God to make me a deal
[02:39.56] Can't be big-headed, the King gave His life for a price that I couldn't afford, you hear me?
[02:42.82] Come to my church on a Sunday I'm settin' up chairs and wrappin' up cords, you hear me?
[02:46.98] Keep me in Your presence, don't let this fame get me, and I barter my heart of a martyr
[02:50.42] I won a Dove for my brother, but it won't compare to me dippin' lil' bro in that water (bless You, Lord)
[02:54.97] Keep me in a safe place, lead me when I feel far away
[03:00.39] Bless You, Lord
