[Chorus]

You don't have to cry, I know

He'll be right by your side, He'll keep you strong

Playa dry your eyes, I know

He'll pull you through these times, and help you roll on



[Antonious]

I know in time we all feelin some type of pain in His thigh

Cryin on your side for better ways to stay closer to Christ

Everyday its a fight against evil

Dont say that the weed said he's strong

Even though He sees the hurt in our people

Plead the blood and we carry on

I wish everybody was treated equal in this world gon mad

I see political depression that makes me feel so sad

In the projects, souls confussed, missused by the system

Devil gots little kids pickin up pistols

Why do you always see em playin wit missles

What happened to peace and helpin the needy

When did alot of people turn greedy

Thinkin its really hard to help somebody, when really its just that easy

And when I look up somebody's dyin, Lord I'm tryin to do right

And I know it ain't worth my life, dyin deep down on the insides

Hope that you hear as I fall down to my knees and pray for your help

Cause I know I can't do it myself, don't want to turn to no one else

So I'm beggin you please God, can you show me the way to salvation

Cause I'm livin in a currupt nation, and they keep bringin temptation

Im facin so much of this world, tryin to bring me down

But I place my feet on solid ground and try to turn my life around

I'ma get in your Word, contentacy, I'm tweakin to get higher

So I'ma need cocaine to guide me when I get that desire



[Chorus]



[Antonious]

When I look at these lives, and it looks like everything might be hopeless

And I gotta get focused, before my time, oh Lord I know this

And I look at these lives, and I wonder why my people struggle

And all to juggle, when you're fittin pieces to the puzzle

And I look at the only thing, the mighty faced in their path

Guess it makes no different when you're tryin to make your future last

And I look at this system, currupted in so many ways

And I can't be trippin, so I gotta watch the way I behave

And I look at my mother, strong black women, and she works real hard

And its like no other, and there's no color when it comes to God

And I look at these children, 12 years old and they sellin drugs

And I do what I can, do let them shorties know they got that love

And I look at my sisters, some sell their bodies for that bloat

Many don't know, there's a better place for them to go

So yeah I sow, cause I know one day I'm gon reap

So as I sleep, I pray to the Lord your soul to keep



[Chorus]
