If it's today, I hope I hear a cry out from heaven so loud It can water down a demon with the Holy Ghost Till it drown in the blood of Jesus I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline Reek in the scent of a reaper Ensuring that my allegiance with the other side may come soon And if I'm doomed, may the wound of my mother be blessed For many moons I suffer a lot And everyday that glass mirror gets tougher to watch I tie my stomach in knots And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats that can come about Cause the tongue is mighty powerful And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch Maybe cause I'm a dreamer And sleep is the cousin of death Really stuck in the schema of wondering when I'm arrest And you're right, your brother was a brother to me And your sister's situation was the one that put me In a direction to speak on something that's realer than the TV screen By any means wasn't trying to offend or come between Her personal life, I was like you need to be told Cursing the life of 20 generations after her soul Exactly what'll happen if I ain't continue rapping Or steady being distracted by money, drugs, and four-fives I count lives all on these songs Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you be strong Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong And hope that at least one of you think about me when I'm gone Am I worth it? Did I put enough work in?
