One night
When me and my mom was about to go to bed
All the doors was locked
Then when I had fell asleep
My mom had heard three gun shots
It was to my cousin, his name was Rod
The one that came to pick me up
He had been shot right through the face, right in the neck
And he got shot right in the stomach
I put my hand to the sky, I sing
Grateful for the blessings you bring
Thank you for the ones I love
Forgive me for the times I was down and confused
I know what I reap is what I will sow
Once again I find myself, back with you from my hell
All I ever wanted was to hear them ******* holler back
Get some money plus respect and now look, I got all of that
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry
All I wanna do is touch a platinum plaque and celebrate
All I wanna do is keep my *****s out the yellow tape
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry
Right now I'm starin' out the window of my Range
And contemplating, am I sane?
Have I sacraficed for fame?
My occuptation's on my brain
Thought that I could change it all if I had changed
But the *****s that I came up with way back is still the same
I be tryna give 'em game like Santa did when Christmas came
They be listenin' but it's clear to me they did not hear a thing
It go in one ear and out the other
Like a bullet out the muzzle of a pistol shot
By brothers standin' point-blank range
*****s bang in the Ville,
I always thought that *******t was strange
How you claim blood or cuz when that was just a LA thing?
I don't mean no disrespect towards your set, no, I'm just sayin'
That it seem like for acceptance *****s will do anything
*****s will rep any gang, *****s will bust any head
*****s will risk everything, point him out and then he dead
Shootin' up where his granny live,
"Blaow, blaow!", his granny duck
He don't give a *****, he's on Henny and Xanny duff
Blowin' Tammy up, *******, when you gonna give them panties up?
He gon' plant a seed, but best believe he ain't man enough
Just because yo' ***** can spray *****,
It don't mean that you ready to let go of yo' childish ways
The results are deadly
Because that child will suffer
And that's what can most affect me
The little girl I met this past summer said,
"Don't forget me"
I won't forget you, how could I with all you went through?
A bullet hit yo' cousin in Temple while he was with you
And while you was talkin',
I was tearin' up, where's the tissue?
If you was my sister then I would kiss you
And tell you that I'm sorry
For the pain you had to live through
I know I'm blessed because yo' stress
Is realer than anything I done been through
I put my hand to the sky, I sing
Grateful for the blessings you bring
Thank you for the ones I love
Forgive me for the times I was down and confused
I know what I reap is what I will sow
Once again I find myself, back with you from my hell
All I ever wanted was to hear them ******* holler back
Get some money plus respect and now look, I got all of that
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry
All I wanna do is touch a platinum plaque and celebrate
All I wanna do is keep my *****s out the yellow tape
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry
It's not that big
Well at least, um
God had saved him 'cause he still alive, AMEN
So why do y'all think that bad stuff happen?
Like why can't the world just be all nice things?
Because God is tryna, um
Warn-warn us or teach us a lesson that we need to learn
Or he's tryna warn us of he's comin' back to,
Um, see us and take us home and redo the world world
He's comin' back to, um, have us be his children
And for us to see Him for the first time
So we can we can rejoice with him and have our time
And after we do that, he's gonna restart the world
