[Intro]
Yeah
Bugus
Need y'all to feel me on this one (Tell the truth)
It’s from the heart
[Verse 1]
I kneel at night, tryin' to talk with Jesus
Heal my heart with these broken pieces
Gotta stay the same way, how you sin me
Tryin' not to kill, but these n***as tempt me
Just can’t stand the way the world revolving
Rich get richer while the poor is starving
People line up, fillin' up the churches
Pastor pulled up in the jet he purchased
Young and we black, so we filling up hearses
Just tryin' to break generation with curses
They say that we the beast, so they lock and chain us
Rig the whole game then try to blame us
March in peace, but we just get violence
Tryin' to get justice but we just get silenced
Build more liquor store, feed us more liquor
Fried chicken, fast food, make us die quicker
It's a food desert, yeah the tryin' to starve us
School under fund, and it's far from Harvard
Tryin' to stay alive, so my day full of sins
But I have no choice, I would do it again
[Hook]
When I lay down, I lose no sleep
Pray to the lord, my soul to keep
If I gotta go, I try my best
I lose no sleep, I got no regrets
When I lay down, I lose no sleep
Pray to the lord, my soul to keep
If I gotta go, I try my best
I lose no sleep, I got no regrets
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Everyday I wake up, tryin’ to beat the odd
Akon and Bone Thug, I try so hard
Gotta make Heaven ’cause I gotta meet God
You sent me here smooth, I'm coming back scarred
No matter where I go, dark skin is suffering
Things that I seen in this earth is troubling
Everybody else benefit, so they lovin’ it
This is some cruel and unusual punishment
Let's address the hate that they got for melanin
It's pretty clear in this room is an elephant
They came to Africa, took me out of my element
Then put me in they field, had me work on their settlement
These lyin' cock-suckers got rich from embezzlement
They gon’ like the smell of bullshit 'til they shovelling
Lock us up for 'erb then become the farmer
I know one day he 'ecome the karma
I'm on my path, I fulfill my Dharma
I'm one with God, so I come with armor
You know I mean good, even when I jump fence
You won't judge, you know what I'm up against
[Hook]
When I lay down, I lose no sleep
Pray to the lord, my soul to keep
If I gotta go, I try my best
I lose no sleep, I got no regrets
When I lay down, I lose no sleep
Pray to the lord, my soul to keep
If I gotta go, I try my best
I lose no sleep, I got no regrets
