Dear God, I wonder can you save me?

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me?

Secret society tryna keep they eye on me

Dear God, I wonder can you save me?

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me?

I can't die, I can't die, I can't die

This shit is wicked on these mean streets

None of my friends speak, we're all tryna win

But then again, maybe it's for the best though

'Cause when they're saying too much

You know they're trying to get you touched

Whoever said illegal was the easy way out, couldn't understand

The mechanics and the workings of the underworld, granted

Nine to five is how you survive, I ain't trying to survive

I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it a lot

Life ills poisoned my body

I used to say fuck mic skills

I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti

That's right it's wicked, that's life I live it

Ain't asking for forgiveness for my sins, ends

I break bread with the late heads

Picking their brains for angles on, all the evils that the game'll do

It gets dangerous, money and power is changing us

And now we're lethal, infected with D'evils

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Secret society, tryna keep they eye on me

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

I can't die, I can't die, I can't die

We used to fight for building blocks

Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing

The closest of friends when we first started

But grew apart as the money grew and soon grew black-hearted

Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers

He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother

My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese

She said the taste of dollars was shitty so I fed her fifties

About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced

I kept feeding her money 'til her shit started to make sense

Who could ever foresee, we used to stay up all night

At slumber parties, now I'm tryna rock this bitch to sleep

All the years we were real close, now I see his fears

Through her tears know she's wishing we were still close

Don't cry, it is to be, in time

I'll take away your miseries and make it mine, D'evils

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Secret society, tryna keep they eye on me

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

I can't die, I can't die, I can't die

My flesh, no nigga could test, my soul is possessed

By D'evils in the form of diamonds and Lexuses

The Exorcist got me doing sticks like: Homie

You don't know me, but the whole world owe me, strip!

Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fucking life

So now I'm down for whatever ain't nothing nice

Throughout my junior high years it was all friendly

But now this higher learning got the Remy in me

Liquor's invaded my kidneys

Got me ready to lick off, mama forgive me

I can't be held accountable, D'evils beating me down, boo

Got me running with guys making G's, telling lies that sound true

Come test me, I never cower

For the love of money, son, I'm giving lead showers

Stop screaming, you know the demon said it's best to die

And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify D'evils

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Secret society, tryna keep they eye on me

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body

Dear God, I wonder can you save me

I can't die, I can't die, I can't die
