And if I wasn't high, I'd probably try to blow my brains out
 I'm hopeless, they shoulda killed me as a baby
 And now they got me trapped in the storm, I'm goin crazy
 Forgive me; they wanna see me in my casket
 and if I don't blast I'll be the victim of them bastards
 I'm loosin hope, they got me stressin, can the Lord forgive me
 Got the spirit of a thug in me
 Another sip of that drink, this Hennesey got me queasy
 Don't wanna earl, young nigga take it easy
 Picture your dreams on a triple beam, and it seems
 don't underestimate the power of a fiend
 To my homies on the block
 slangin rocks with your glocks put this tape in your box
 When you're runnin from the cops -- and never look back
 If they could be black, then they would switch
 Open fire on them busta-ass bitches, and Lord knows...

 (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 Lord knows
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 The Lord knows
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 The Lord knows
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)

 I wonder if the Lord will forgive me or bury me a G
 I couldn't let my adversaries worry me
 and every single day it's a test, wear a bulletproof vest
 and still a nigga stressin over death
 If I could choose when a nigga die, figure I'd
 take a puff on the blunt, and let my trigga fly
 When everyday it's another death, with every breath,
 it's a constant threat, so watch yo' step!
 You could be next if you want to, who do you run to?
 Murderin niggaz, look what it's come to
 My memories bring me misery, and life is hard
 in the ghetto, it's insanity, I can't breath
 Got me thinkin, what do Hell got?
 Cause I done suffered so much, I'm feelin shell-shocked
 And driveby's an everyday thang
 I done lost too many homies to this motherfuckin game
 and Lord knows...

 (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 Lord knows
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 Lord knows!
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 The Lord knows
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)

 One-time!  One-time!
 Fuck the five-oh cause they after me
 Kill me if they could, I'll never let em capture me
 Done lost too many niggaz to this gangbangin
 Homies died in my arms, with his brains hangin, fucked up!
 I had to tell him it was alright, and that's a lie
 and he knew it when he shook and died, my God
 Even though I know I'm wrong man
 Hennesey make a nigga think he strong, man (heh heh)
 I can't sleep, so I stay up, don't wanna fuck them bitches
 Try to calm me down, I ain't givin up
 I'm gettin lost in the weed, man, gettin high
 Livin everday, like I'm gon' die (gon' die, gon' die)
 I smoke a blunt to take the pain out, and if I wasn't high
 probably try to blow my brains out
 Lord knows...

 (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 Lord knows!
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 Lord knows.. Jesus..
 (He knows! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 (He is listening! Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)

 (Lord knows.. Lord knows.. he he.. he.. he.. heeee...)
 (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows!)
 (Lord knows, Lord knows, Lord knows
