Listen!...listen!...huh...listen!
Government got it where u cant do shit no mo
The water aint no good, the grass dont grow
Never mention schools aint safe no mo
Killing in the 1st grade six years old
Ask yo self this, in what kind of world is that to raise yo children
Then again it really dont matter, where you gone go,
You still gotta live it
Lets face reality, stop talking bout peace thats a thing of the past
But then again thats a bald face lie,
Cause a few years ago you was hanging my ass
? ? ? no presidents, sometimes the whole world just pressed up against me
Think about it, young black man, come up set up for penitentary
Do the math, all on you, choose yo path, be a leader, pray for strength
Know when to cap and when to blast
Get back on track, we damn near got past crack, then every dope dealer got
Snatched back, we all wit the black on black
Thats sad, is it really in our nature what make it so bad
But I aint no better then the rest of yall,
Plus I came up in a house wit out no dad
I knew that you left, ? ? ? ? ? ? you didnt wont to
But that how it is, lord help us, you know what we going through
Hook:
Its bigger than us, its out of my hands, thats why Im praying to god
Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water
Its your world, but we yo children yo sons and yo daughters
We struggling trying to get it together, but some of us aint gonna see
Tommorrow...some of us aint gonna see tommorrow,
I know some of us aint gonna see tommorrow

Somebody tell me what you get in a relationship
With nothing but silence, silence
We aint married so we cant get divorced
So the only thing left is domesticated violence
When a man uses a woman to take out his problems
He abuses that woman, then man must recognize his assignment
We got two kids and you pregnant again so how can we profit
Thats bullshit! that aint no reason to pull her arm out the socket
Baby Im so sorry, you know that I luv you and didnt wanna hurt you
When I put my hands on ya, I was wrong so I dont deserve ya
I never thought Id see the day when they scrap a nigga
When they talk about em on the t.v.
Now my sister flipping in the grave,
Cause thats a cheap ? ? ? and I know this cant be me
Lord help her forgive me, God give me my purpose
Jesus break this chains, you know this a vintage circle
But I got my trust in you,
I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel
I done been in many situations, she was there each and everyone of em
Keep me humble, I wanna take time out write down and thank ya, thank ya
Trying to make it wit out you is something we cant do
Hook:
Its bigger than us, its out of my hands, thats why Im praying to god
Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water
Its your world, but we yo children yo sons and yo daughters
We struggling trying to get us together, but some of us aint gonna see
Tommorrow...some of us aint gonna see tommorrow,
I know some of us aint gonna see tommorrow

Lord tell them you difference
Between having eternal life or forever burn, burn
Lord tell em you was wit me when I had my accident
And my truck started flipping and turnin,
When it feel like I was dying from the moment of impact,
We rolled ten times
I was down on my best, that fool came on my side of the line
But when the truck did finally stop moving I was just fine
My little brother that was on the passenger said must of got hurt
Cause he was unconscious
We done had our tradegys, we was just talking so this cant be happenin
But before I could say anything else,
I saw the helicopter and the ambulance
My little brother came back through, first thing he said was,
"what is going on"
But the next thing he said was, "watch over me lord and keep me strong"
And right then and there, I knew every thing was gone be alright
But we aint promised nothing
So thank you my lord for saving his life
Hook: 2x until fade
Its bigger than us, its out of my hands, thats why Im praying to god
Oh heavenly father, keep my head above the water
Its your world, but we yo children yo sons and yo daughters
We struggling trying to get it together, but some of us aint gonna see
Tommorrow...some of us aint gonna see tommorrow,
I know some of us aint gonna see tommorrow
