What I'm Bout to Say

[Verse 1]

How you think things is gonna ever change?

If you keep doing the same old things

You ask the Lord for help

But you won't help yourself

Now you sitting there with your worries and cares

Talkin about God won't answer your prayers

You got that feeling He let you down

You tried to swim and he let you drown

But that's not ever the case, you looked the solution dead in the face

Did a u-turn and headed your way, and now you say that religion is fake

But if you search your mind, I guarantee you'll find

When you was in a bind, the Lord was there like every time

But you ignored the signs wanting sombody to blame

But let's be real you got free will

and God ain't gone come out the sky and make you change

But when you make the same mistakes over and over

And you get older and older, when the game over its over

You can't say nobody told ya, when you sleep in the grave

and I hope you heed the words that I say, heed the words that I say

[Verse 2]

How long you think you gone really roll?

How long before they kick down your door?

Throw you and your kids on the floor

Tearing up your crib and they lookin for dope

Found one brick and they lookin for more

and now your goose is cookin for sure

How many times you done heard it said?

that you gone wind up in jail or dead?

Not you 'cause you just too smart

got alot of brains and too much heart

Besides you not in the game for life

you can stop just as soon as you start right?

But one year turns to 2, and 2 years turn to 4, and 4 years turn to 8

Now you can' stop its just too late

Now you await your fate, wondering how its gone came

Is it gonna be your local PD, theDEA or a young assassin's gun?

Now you ain't havin fun, stuck up in your house and

lookin out the window with a pistol like Malcolm

Thinking somebodys coming to get your thousands

But if I was in your shoes

I'd drop to my knees and pray

and ask the Lord to show me another way, man heed the words that I say
