Black Jesus

[Verse 1]
Make sure I'm gettin' head in my obituary pictures
Momma was an alcoholic, spilling liquor on the scripture
Ain't got no red ink inside my tattoos
'Cause that's the same ink they used on giving us eviction
In my district I'm a victim of Hennessy inside my diction
But addiction got me drinking lean out the pitcher
Been had buckets but I never had to roll a Swisher
Toyota Celica, I drove it like I fuckin' built it
Summer '07, pride shop legends
Momma remarried but we living like peasants
That's why when I love all my feelings sold separate
Even though I'm tryna have faith like Evans
But the hope don't mean nothing when it's difficult to cope
And your step daddy's sellin' what he smoke
Shots of Tikki Punches inside the fridge but he still take the coke
While you watch your big brother overdose

[Chorus]
Is there a God inside my home?
'Cause I feel all alone
Seems like I couldn't catch a break
I couldn't catch a break
I just can't catch a break, no
What do I need, Father?
Father, Father
Can I just breathe, Father?
Father, Father
[Verse 2]
I would've never got fingerprinted if I put it all in God's hands
Still I don't give a fuck, know a hot damn
Yeah, my pops ran to walk, either way I'm left behind
Ain't paid for one haircut and I kept that in mind
Looking for him, travel guide
Words never matched the lies
He ain't played baseball but n***a never bat an eye
Taught me the biggest lesson in my motherfuckin' life
Watch every n***a in your motherfuckin' life
'Cause anybody can use you like a gender-neutral bathroom
Black mask, raccoons, Big Mac's, fast food
I was in the rain, I stepped up, checked the dance moves
I never followed class rules, my homework was past due
My teachers used to think I'm funny 'cause I'm animated
Ain't nothing funny, seeing my cousin get assassinated
And so my n***as got us covered like we laminated
But being broke was a disease, I was contaminated

[Chorus]
Is there a God inside my home? [Oh]
'Cause I feel all alone
Seems like I couldn't catch a break
I couldn't catch a break
I just can't catch a break, no
What do I need, Father? [Tell me, what do I need?]
Father, Father
Can I just breathe, Father? [Father, can I breathe?]
Father, Father
What do I need, Father? [Tell me, what do I need?]
Father, Father
Can I just breathe, Father?[Tell me]
Father, Father [oh youuuu]
