Lord please forgive me for all my sins
Cause I know I'ma turn around and do them all again
With all these frenemies, man, who need friends?
So ain't no need in me lying to you, trying to pretend
I know the matrix real, but the spoon won't bend
With all these bills I gotta pay and no food to put it in
See my life like a bowl of melted M&M's
To get the green out, you gotta put the work in
You know work nine to five for minimum wage
I hold your spot on the block for at least three or four days
They say the crime pays, but the benefits suck
Like them calls from baby mama, like what's up with the check?
If I told her what I'm doing, I'ma lose her respect
Why risk getting locked up when I'm stuck in the projects?
A suit and tie, I know that's what she needs
Especially now since she got all of the miles to feed
Have an helmet that will lose my soul, love
Please take the whip before I lose control
You know these days are dark as the streets are cold
I'm trying to make it to the gates where they pay it in gold
I'm like, help me, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Lord, if you hear me, the devil keep dialing in
On a conversation distorting your violins
I hear the angels crying as the minister mourn
These spirits ain't God-fearing in their physical form
They straight from the norm, believe in unicorns
Couple pagan holidays and then Judas is born
I'm trying not to fall prey and show my character flaws
I swear time disrupts when you ain't breaking no laws
See the money come slow and we fast to kick our feet up
We toot our own horn till life's speed to beat up
We can't live like the Joneses long
They live outside of their means and their water ain't on
Frizz so empty that them roaches gone
But all the kids been rocking J's since the day they were born
A suit and tie, I know that's what she needs
Especially now since she got all of them miles to feed
Heaven, help me, devil, lose my soul
Lord, please take the whip before I lose control
You know these days are dark as the streets are cold
I'm trying to make it till it gets where they pay it in gold
I'm like, help me, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Help me, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Help me, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Help me, Lord, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Operator, I'm hearing none but static
And I got good Wi-Fi, so please excuse my panic
I was talking to God, then the signal dropped
At the same time, I got a call from the cops
They say baby mama was tripping with her favorite sidekick
During a high-speed chase when his Range Rover flipped
Trunk full of bricks, en route for the re-up
Wasn't thinking about the kids, I'm concerned with her feet up
See, no matter what I did, everything was wrong
Her sidekick kept with the bills, but now her family torn
Got the D's all on my lawn, like four in the morning
Mom's hysterical, blaming me cause she gone
Little do she know I did all I could
To not be the bad guy and treat her daughter good
I guess now
A suit and tie all I need
Since I'm the one left with all the miles to feed
Heaven, help me, devil, lose my soul
Lord, please take the whip before I lose control
You know these days are dark as the streets are cold
I'm trying to make it to them gates where they paved in gold
I'm like
Help me, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Help me, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Help me, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Help me, Lord, help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
Help me, Lord, Lord, Lord, help me, Lord
