Listen!...Listen!...huh...Listen!

 Government got it where u can't do shit no mo'
 The water ain't no good, the grass don't grow
 Never mention schools ain't safe no mo'
 killing in the 1st grade six years old
 Ask yo self this, In what kind of world is that to raise yo children
 Then again it really don't matter, where you gone go,
 you still gotta live it
 Let's face reality, stop talking bout peace that's a thing of the past
 But then again that's a bald face lie,
 cause a few years ago you was hanging my ass
 ??? no presidents, sometimes the whole world just pressed up against me
 Think about it, young black man, come up set up for penitentary
 Do the math, all on you, choose yo path, be a leader, pray for strength
 Know when to cap and when to blast
 Get back on track, we damn near got past crack, then every dope dealer got
 snatched back, we all wit the black on black
 That's sad, Is it really in our nature what make it so bad
 But I ain't no better then the rest of ya'll,
 plus I came up in a house wit out no dad
 I knew that you left, ??? ??? you didn't won't to
 But that how it is, Lord help us, You know what we going through

 Hook:

 It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands, that's why I'm praying to God
 Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water
 It's your world, but we yo children yo son's and yo daughters
 We struggling trying to get it together, but some of us ain't gonna see
 tommorrow...some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow,
 I know some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow

 Somebody tell me what you get in a relationship
 with nothing but silence, silence
 We ain't married so we can't get divorced
 so the only thing left is domesticated violence
 When a man uses a woman to take out his problems
 He abuses that woman, then man must recognize his assignment
 We got two kids and you pregnant again so how can we profit
 That's BULLSHIT! That ain't no reason to pull her arm out the socket
 Baby I'm so sorry, you know that I luv you and didn't wanna hurt you
 When I put my hands on ya, I was wrong so I don't deserve ya
 I never thought I'd see the day when they scrap a nigga
 when they talk about 'em on the t.v.
 Now my sister flipping in the grave,
 cause that's a cheap ??? and I know this can't be me
 Lord help her forgive me, God give me my purpose
 Jesus break this chains, you know this a vintage circle
 But I got my trust in you,
 I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel
 I done been in many situations, she was there each and everyone of 'em
 Keep me humble, I wanna take time out write down and thank ya, thank ya
 Trying to make it wit out you is something we can't do

 Hook:

 It's bigger than us, it's out of my hands, that's why I'm praying to God
 Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water
 It's your world, but we yo children yo son's and yo daughters
 We struggling trying to get us together, but some of us ain't gonna see
 tommorrow...some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow,
 I know some of us ain't gonna see tommorrow

 Lord tell them you difference
 between having eternal life or forever burn, burn
 Lord tell em you was wit me when I had my accident
 and my truck started flipping and turnin',
 When it feel like I was dying from the moment of impact,
 we rolled ten times
 I was down on my best, that fool came on my side of the line
 But when the truck did finally stop moving I was just fine
 My little brother that was on the passenger said must of got hurt
 cause he was unconscious
 We done had our tradegy's, we was just talking so this can't be happenin'
 But before I could say anything else,
 I saw the helicopter and the ambulance
 My little brother came back through, first thing he said was,
 "What is going on"
 But the next thing he said was, "watch over me lord and keep me strong"
 And right then and there, I knew every thing was gone be alright
 But we ain't promised nothing
 So thank you my lord for saving his life
