my brother cry for help

And outside became pitch black

A demon glued to my back whispering,
"Get 'em"

I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck
That same mentality

It's a trip how we trip off of colors

I wonder if I'll ever discover

A passion like you and recover

The life that I knew as a young'n

In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns

When thunder comes
C
Bm
it rains cats and dogs

Dumb niggas like me never prosper

Prognosis of a problem child

F
You wrote a song

C
the message resembled

"Brenda's Got a Baby"
G
A
What's crazy was, I was hearin' about it
Em
But doubted your ignorance,
how could you ever
E
Just put her on blast and shit?

I run away and never do miss 'em

and if I can get em back
Em
To where they used to be

then I'll prob'ly be in the denim
F
Bm
Of a family gene that show women
how to be woman,
Am
or better yet a leader
C
Bm
You need her to learn something,
G
then you probably need to beat her
A
That's how I was taught
Em
Three niggas in one room,
E
first time I was tossed
F
And I'm exhausted
Bm
But fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit
Am
My sister died in vain,

Your rebuttal a little too late
F
And if you have a album date,
Bm
just make sure I'm not in the song
Am
'Cause I don't need the attention
C
Bm
bring enough of that on my own
G
And matter fact did I mention
A
that I physically feel great?
Em
E
A doctor's approval is a waste of time,
I know I'm straight
F
I'll probably live longer than you
Bm
and never fade away
Am
C
I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away
Bm
I know my fate, and I'm
G
on the grind for this cake
A
I'ma get it or die trying
Em
I'm eyeing every male gender
E
with intentions of buying
F
You lying to these motherfuckers,
Bm
Am

an aggravation of threats
F
That can come about
Bm
'Cause the tongue is mighty powerful

And I can name a list
C
Bm
of your favorites that probably vouch
G
Maybe 'cause I'm a dreamer
A
and sleep is the cousin of death

Really stuck in the scheme of,
E
wondering when I'ma rest

Am
And your sister's situation
C

was the one that put me
G
In a direction to speak on something
A
that's realer than the TV screen
Em
E
By any means, wasn't trying to offend
or come between
F
Bm
Her personal life, I was like
"It need to be told"
Am
Cursing the life
C
Bm
of twenty generations after her soul
G
Exactly what'da happened
A
if I ain't continue rappin'
Em
Or steady being distracted
E
by money, drugs and four
F
Fives, I count lives
Bm
all on these songs
Am
Look at the weak and cry,
C
Bm
pray one day you'll be strong
G
Fighting for your rights,
A
even when you're wrong
Em
And hope that at least one of you
E
sing about me when I'm gone

Outro 1
Fuck! I'm tired of this shit!
I'm tired of fuckin' runnin'
I'm tired of this shit!
My brother, homie!
Is that what I think that is?
I know that's not what I think that is
Why are you so angry?
See, you young men are dying of thirst
Do you know what that means?
That means you need water, holy water
You need to be baptized,
with the spirit of the Lord
Do you want to receive God
as your personal savior?
Okay, repeat after me: "Lord God,
I come to You a sinner."
(Lord God, I come to You a sinner)
"And I humbly repent for my sins"
(And I humbly repent for my sins)
"I believe that Jesus is Lord"
(I believe that Jesus is Lord)
"I believe you raised Him from the dead"
(I believe you raised Him from the dead)
"I would ask that Jesus come into my life"
(I would ask that Jesus come in my life)
"And be my Lord and Savior"
(And be my Lord and Savior)
"I receive Jesus to take control of my life"
(I receive Jesus to take control of my life)
"And that I might live for Him
from this day forward"
(And that I may live for Him
from this day forward)
"Thank You, Lord Jesus
For saving me with your precious blood"
(Thank you, Lord Jesus
For saving me with Your precious blood)
"In Jesus' name, amen"
(In Jesus' name, amen)
All right, now remember this day
The start of a new life, your real life
