Intro:

They say the good die young

As the world turns..

V.1:
Damn, Why the world so krazy and ain't nothin what it seems/
U was born unplanned, ya mom drugged out on the scene/
A street thug lookin for street love/
Prayin at rock bottom like shit what the fuck does it mean/
Never knew who ya pops was, all u know is he gone/
And since nobodys home, u roamin free on ya own/
Out late Hanging wit gangs, around dope fiends and hoes/
But that's just the lifestyle, it's all that ya know/
Like It's never or right now, tryna ball and get dough/
So u drop outta high school, cuz ya lost all ya hope/
And Ya rather get fast money, stackin that cash money/
And smashin bad honeys, but see that shit'll never last dummy/
Man If only you knew, that ud already do time, by the time u 22/
And babies and baby mommas, U got U more than a few/
But Ain't nobody told u shit, u was just tryna do u/
Now u broke back on welfare, and Don't know what to do/
Plus the Cold part about it, you'll probably die too soon/

HOOK:
See as the world turns, I can feel the pain burn/
Got tears in my eyes, cuz dear God I'm concerned/
And as the world turns, I can feel my heart ache/
Livin in this depression, starting to lose faith/
See as the world turns, I can feel my soul hurt/
Hopeless without a prayer, and it keeps on gettin worse/
And as the world turns, I can feel myself slipping/
Tryna keep holdin on, but lord this is hard livin/


V2:
It's clear this world ain't meant for you, still u do what u meant to do/
On the path to graduation just like you intended to/
Livin in the projects, tryna get the bread to move/
Workin, payin for classes, still ya pockets is destitute/
And it's a struggle, not to mention all the pressure too/
Cuz deep down ya know ya family still Depends on you/
That's why u go to school, study late and ace ya classes/
So hopefully one day u can finally graduate with Masters/
Get a career or 6 figures what ever takes the fastest/
Then go help ya parents out the fire and shake the ashes/
And I know it's hard, still some how you make the time for it/
But what No one knows is before bed, u pray why lord?/
The fuckin government, b only seekin punishment/
Callin ya family Aliens, when they drip the same blood n sweat/
In a land they call free but swear you ain't seen no justice yet/
Striving in a place where everyday theres a fuckin threat/

V3:
Fuck this life it's unfair, that right it's unfair/
Why the world don't give a fuck? why every nite i cry tears?/
Swear it's likes a nightmare, a struggle to fight fear/
Prayin daily on my knees, hopin' somebody might hear/
But I never hold my breath, Cuz see I Know what to expect/
Everything I done been thru, taught me there ain't No hope left/
That why i b hope-less, hungry and homeless/
Thinking if this is really the end, then where do I go next?/
All the pain from what happened, it's hard to imagine/
Why I've suffered so long, is what I Pray to God askin/
I feel myself slippin, fallin faster than an anvil/
Guess the strength of my addiction, stronger than my damn will/
Life as a fiend, stuck livin for pipe dreams/
Havin thoughts relapse of what sober life might b/
Like shit maybe ill make it, or damn maybe I won't/
All I know is one thing I gotta get me some more dope/

Outro:

Dear God

I pray u hear me down here

I pray u forgive me for my sins and show mercy on my soul

I pray for guidance so I can finally climb outta this hole

And that you give me the perseverance i need to reach my goals

As the world turns

As the world turns

Amen
