"Ye thou I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I shall fear no evil. "
I look back through out my life
And so often in the walk I see only one set of footprints and
I truly understand that is because for so long
He carried me and without his blessings
I wouldn't have achieved anything of any significance... uhn

I set out to be the realist
And the illest, of my time, "of my time, "
Knew I'd probably end up dyin' in my prime, "in my prime, "
When I finally got a chance
I knew I'd shine, "knew I'd shine, "
But I seem to end up slippin' every time, "every time, "
In this world people quickly drop a dime, "drop a dime, "
I'm a stand up guy, I go and do my time, "do my time, "
Any time you wanna test me, come and try, "come and try, "
'Fore I swallow my pride, I'm gonna die, "gonna die, "
Till the day that I go I'm gonna ride, "gonna ride, "
Cuz you know I've got God on my side, "on my side, "

And hay, we all got to die someday
'N' if you don't know, now you know
Sometimes I bet reverend runn
Looks back like damn what have I done
They created an art form, you turned it to a circus
What the fuck happened to making music
With a purpose man

Some body pray for me
I'm out here in a place that I may never leave
A million records sold I may never see
I'm out here in these streets duckin' felonies, please
I need all y'all to pray for me
I'm out here in a place that I may never leave
A million records sold I may never see
Out here in these streets duckin' felonies, ahh

I document a lot of deep shit in my past, "in my past, "
Did a lot of bad shit in my past, "in my past, "
What we won't do to get the cash, "get the cash, "
It's the root of all evil, but we must have it, "must have it, "
Wonder if ever we can have a craps game
Where no blood gets spilled
A rap game where no one gets killed
In heaven I can see my dad and my grand dad
So you can't tell me that dyin' is that bad
I'm back at it, I'm on that bullshit homie

Suicidal wishin' some body'd run up on me
Cuz I'ma try to blow they stomach threw they back
'N' we can turn this whole mother fucker to iraq, "uhh, "
I've never been more sincere
Than I am when I say I'm sick of being here
So when I go don't shed a tear
You weren't cryin' when I got here, seconds old
Screamin' like a mother fucker, wet 'n' cold, "come on, "

Some body pray for me
I'm out here in a place that I may never leave
A million records sold I may never see
I'm out here in these streets duckin' felonies, "please, "

My little homie says mama tried
But he wanna run the streets
'N' at the crib there really wasn't enough to eat
For his mama, her boyfriend, and him
So the little homie ball like, damn them
He say he ain't never looked back since then
Spent the last five out of ten fenced in
We calmed him down, little homie gone in the wind
I remember back when you could throw him a ten
But he older now 'n' you got throw him a ben
'N' if you turn your back on him he be at it again

Robbin' everything movin', servin' everything smokin'
Savaged by the scavage's, naw man I ain't jokin'
So pray for him, cuz he need Jesus with him
Try to talk to him, but you can't reason with him
God do him like you done me 'n' stay right there
Put my little homie in y'alls prayers and while your at it

Some body pray for me
I'm out here in a place that I may never leave
A million records sold I may never see
I'm out here in these streets duckin' felonies, "please, "
I need all y'all to pray for me
I'm out here in a place that I may never leave
A million records sold I may never see
I'm out here in these streets duckin' felonies
