[Z-Ro]

Give me a pad and a pen, and I'll let the lesson begin

The only way to survive my life, is straight up living in sin

Keep on getting in where you fitting in, but in case you get stuck

Better keep your piece off safety, you got these niggaz fucked up

No matter how many times I get on my knees, and pray it don't change

Ducking bullets and the woman I love, keep playing games with my brain

Our relationship's faded, I tried to save it

But now she living with a nigga, named David

Lord could you please have mercy, on this soul of mine

And release the blanket cause at night, it gets so cold sometimes

Tried to go from a life of crime, but see my hustle was hot

Keep a razor blade, to chop up all my twenties and dimes on the spot

Oh yeah I came up in the church, Z-Ro know right from wrong

But I gotta hustle to keep on eating, because my feddy ain't postponed

A nigga like me forget the job, so how the fuck can I rest

Sometimes I wonder if a nigga's really blessed, cause I'm still here


[Hook]

I've been waiting patiently

I wonder if a nigga's really blessed, cause I'm still here

Niggaz steady hating me

I wonder if a nigga's really blessed, cause I'm still here

I've been waiting patiently

I wonder if a nigga's really blessed, cause I'm still here

Why do you forsaken me

I wonder if a nigga's really blessed


[Z-Ro]

Now it's 1999, the new millennium is upon us

HPD got new technology, they gon get us if they want us

Under surveillance 24-7 up in this game, you could never tell

Laws can't see now one of them OZ's

But a stitch'll provide the blind with braille

Letters to read indeed they wanna see me, in a pine box

You can tell I'm not having that, of the moment I let my nine cock

Release it cause I'm furious, refuse to let 'em capture me

Can't I get a little bit of rest, because I know them hoes are after me

I signed a major deal, you can see my video on TV

Fuck capping, I'd rather kick it with Shadow, Boo-B and DP

Cause they never refuse my company, when I show up at the do'

Sometimes a place where everybody knows my name, is where I wanna go

Tell me do you know what they call me, cause you act like you ain't heard of me

But you better be ready to die, if somebody sent you here to murder me

22, with a motherfucking beer belly

Some say I'm an OG already, because I'm still here

[Z-Ro]

I wonder if my niggaz, really love me sometimes

Would they give a fuck about Z-Ro, if I couldn't rhyme

It's just a thought in my mind, I'm so tired of working my muscle

I just came here to preach, and give a fuck about a hustle

Nigga don't get me wrong, I've been known to bleed blocks

Living on every local corner, on a first name basis with these cops

I've been locked up so many times, depressed and in jail

Ain't got no free world partnas, that'll make my bail

I can see it in the sky, it must be destiny for me to be insane

Feel the expression on my face, can't you tell I'm in pain

I try to repent cause that's a privilege, that was given to me

But when I talk to God, it seem like he don't listen to me

Cause I'll be fiending for mercy, no matter how many times I whine

I never get it when I want it, but it's right on time

I can see the world again, from foggy weather to clear

But I still wonder if a nigga's really blessed, cause I'm still here

[talking]

Damn it, as I looked

I saw the door standing open, in Heaven

And the same voice I had heard before

That sounded like a mighty ? glass

Spoke to me and said, come up here

And I will show you what must happen

In the future, but for right now

I'm still here
