[Intro: Jim Jones & ALLSUMMERLONG]
Uh (Oh)
I just saw the news today, they were saying that (Ooh)
The crime rate is up in the city
Young n***as running wild (Ooh, yeah)
Can you blame 'em? (No)
Ain't nothin' to look forward to out here
Ain't no opportunities, n***as tryna get to a bag (Oh)

[Chorus: ALLSUMMERLONG]
Lord, make space in heaven for a n***a like me (Like me)
Walking this lonely road feels like hell indeed (Hell indeed)
Ain't no way I'ma change, I can only be me
Hope You don't close that door and You stand by me (Stand by me, yeah)

[Verse 1: Jim Jones]
Permanent decision over temporary emotion (That can cost you)
Decisions like that, well, you ain't gon' never get motion (Not at all)
And you can stay complacent, but life is better with motion (Keep steppin')
And I still be with killers and I know that I never can post 'em (This ain't for IG)
So if you think I care about your top fifty list (I don't)
When there really was a time when we was tryna cop fifty bricks (Daddy-O)
You know I really been outside since red tops on the strip (Talk street)
And my young boy just got hype, he just got a Glock with a switch, he said (Drop the addy)
He can't wait to take it on a test run (Spin the block)
Them n***as tryna kill opps, they ain't really tryna test guns (Grrt)
They run around with toast, but they ain't even gettin' no bread crumbs
I watch n***as sell coke since Mike was wearing them red ones, shit ('85, '86)
In life, some things you could never explain (Preach)
They told me practice like Iverson, but I was ready for the game (We ready)
I try to bring us back together, but things never was the same (You remember)
And that shit been weighin' on me like wearing leather in the rain, that bitch (I can't lie)
Tugging at my soul like pulling strings on a bass (Amen)
I make a bitch body cold, I put these rings in her face (Ayy, baby)
And don't nobody move, we got that thing in the place (Grrt)
She saw the stars in the roof, thought I was gon' bring her to space
[Chorus: ALLSUMMERLONG & Jim Jones]
Lord, make space in heaven for a n***a like me (I need you, Lord)
Walking this lonely road feels like hell indeed (Hell indeed)
Ain't no way I'ma change, I can only be me (I can only be me, Lord)
Hope You don't close that door (Just don't close that door) and You stand by me (Stand by me, yeah)

[Verse 2: Jim Jones]
Dear Lord, I'm looking for the prints in the sand (I'm looking)
And Bahamas in the ocean while I'm praying and rinsing my hand (Pray for me)
I've been outside before n***as could Insta' they 'Gram (Long time)
I got PTSD, shit, I still flinch when it glam (Gah, gah, gah)
I'm a Blood, I don't pick sides, so Lord, pray for Palestine (Pray for them)
At this point, they need more love than that day up on Valentine (Need love)
Feel they pain 'cause in my hood, they're still spraying like Columbine
I realize we can't save everybody when I lost some pals of mine (R.I.P. to them)
So how the fuck are we confidin' 'bout it? (How?)
Shit, and where I'm from, they screamin' n***a, you ridin' or you hidin'? (Ain't hide)
Pourin' champagne on the spot where the guys done died in (Woo)
And I could still take you to buildings where I used to buy them pies in (Bobby, what's up?)
Few shootouts, but a n***a arose unscathed (Gah, gah)
Few n***as that passed, I still pour rose on your grave (Ayy, what's up?)
Still tryna follow you Lord, to the road You pave (Amen)
But it's hard 'cause I gotta watch for these n***as on the road with rage (I see 'em)
Sometimes, I look at heaven and feel like the door's closing (Don't close on me)
Mama said to pray, I need to show more devotion (I hear you, mama)
These n***as having shootouts broad day, in the open (Baow, baow, baow, baow)
So forgive me when I speak if I'm a little outspoken
[Chorus: ALLSUMMERLONG]
Lord, make space in heaven for a n***a like me (Hear me cry, save me)
Walking this lonely road feels like hell indeed (Hell on Earth, I need you, God)
Ain't no way I'ma change, I can only be me (Need you, Father)
Hope You don't close that door and You stand by me (Stand by me)
Lord, make space in heaven for a n***a like me (Hear me cry, save me)
Walking this lonely road feels like hell indeed (Hell on Earth, I need you, God)
Ain't no way I'ma change, I can only be me (Need you, Father)
Hope You don't close that door and You stand by me (Stand by me)
