[PRE-Chorus]

Thank you for your blessings lord
Without you I'm nothing
Lord Knows
(yeah)

[VERSE 1]
Momma praying over an empty stove
Lord knows what I'd give to see a better day
My section struggling
These bills getting behind
My sisters looking at me
Penitentiary waiting on me
Hell I'm only 16
Can a young man dream
Before they (gun shot)
Dope boys in the kitchen
Just a mattress on the floor
I ain't wanna go to hell
Hell is all ever know
Its poverty all around
Police kicked the front door (front door)
Took my brother to juvi
Lil Eric was da shooter
Now he doing hard life
Poor and black thats 3 strikes
Thank God I found life
The summer my homie died
Lord Jesus I'm still alive
My youngin's dying out here every day
Work a job or sell rocks and work for the state
Have hope in God instead of busting K's
I'ma show another way I'ma be they
