[Peter Gunz]
you know what they say
God forgives all sins
except suicide
then I guess I`ll be a`ight
`cause I ain`t gon` kill myself
you know
I was raised atheist, God was a myth
never prayed `cause I never seen, and I was never with
kneelin` on my knees, just thankin` Jesus
for stuff that I received when I wasn`t receivin`
it`s like
thanks for the lights that ain`t on
thanks for the food that`s gone
and my stomach`s tight empty
thanks for the clothes that ya sent me
they tight and kids laugh, so I be cuttin` school, a`ight
I wanna thank you for my brother smokin` crack
I also wanna thank you for my cousin gettin` shot in his back
I wanna thank you for my friends that`s gone
I mean they all under thirty right, but life goes on
I wanna thank you for my moms being sad
thanks for the house with the swimming pool I never had
I wanna thank you for my Uncle Bill, smart enough to get his PhD
he got HIV
I wanna thank you for my pops, what a joke
work hard all of his life and got nothin` to show
I wanna thank you for the lives that you moved
I also wanna thank you for the cancer that you gave E-Smooth
and I`m sorry my belief is low, can you tell me where to go
heaven or hell, eleven to twelve
and I`m ready when you ready, just tell me don`t breath
will you forgive me `cause I didn`t believe?
all I know is that...
[Chorus-Peter Gunz]
when it`s my time to go
all I wanna know
am I gonna see him or see you?
give me a clue, tell me what to do
will you open the gates or am I through
forgive me for my negatvie thoughts and all my sins
from what I know now Lord I wish I knew then
I seen alot of bad, never had reason to beleive
now I simply thank you for this air that I breath
[Lord Tariq]
yo, you know people used to say this kid`s really crazy
that religion and forgivin` church stuff never fazed me
livin` off the word of a teacher
my friends up the block gettin` fat sellin` crack to the preacher
Johova`s witness says he witnessed, but he never seen
what he seeks is forever green, and he forever fiend
I used to hit the mas now and then
me and X used to bill with these guys that was five percent
but see, one thing I learned in life being hard
is no matter who you serve in life, there`s one God
wether you`re black or white, Chinese, Japanese
you breath the same air I breath, bleed the same blood I bleed
that`s why I`m sayin` you`re wrong
if you`re sayin` my song is blasphomy, just ask of me
I got God in me just like an artery
If I offended you then pardon me
the things I seen in life hardened me
wanna treat the next man like a slave
and go to church shoutin`, holy ghostin` and
claimin` you`re saved
then you think because the offer that you gave, you forgivin`
but you better fix the life that you`re livin`
you wanna be God-filled, steady sinnin`, change your ways
`cause you know it`s really money that you praise
it`s time to wake up, drop yo` blunt and put away the beer
`cause I`m feelin` like the last days is here
for real
[Chorus]
[One Accord]
forgive me Lord
for I have sinned
and now I know
I know you exist
(I wanna thank you)
