[Verse 1]
Say I done been through so much pain and I still feel the same (Feel the same)
No matter how much a n***a makes, some things ain't never change (Never change)
Say every time that I wake up, I'm puttin' pressure on me (Pressure on me)
I pray to God, but, lately, I ain't felt no blessings on me (Yeah, blessings on me)
Won't blame it on nobody else, won't catch me sheddin' tears (Ain't sheddin' tears)
I ain't pointin' fingers, every sеtback is from what I did (Yeah, from what I did)
I miss my grandma, her name Shеila, that's my biggest loss (Biggest loss)
I can't replace her with a car, a Cuban, or a house (Cuban or a house)
I got a daughter on the way, I know my— be mad
I got a daughter on the way, I'm goin' broke for that (Goin' broke for that)
I'm tryna learn from my mistakes, I'm tryna grow from that (Tryna grow from that)
I'm sendin' letters up to God, but He ain't wrote me back (Wrote me back)
My mama on my phone, my sister on my phone, my brother, he don't really call
He tryna get it on his own, I wish I never got that call
He ain't never hurt nobody, never made nobody frown (Nobody frown)
Gentle soul, God, why You tryna take my brother down? (Take my brother down)
[Chorus]
Do we gotta go to church more or do we gotta pray more?
Too many years of tragedy, why you gotta bring more?
He got a whole life to live, you can take me, though
You can take me, though, you can take me, though
Do we gotta go to church more or do we gotta pray more?
Too many years of tragedy, why you gotta bring more?
He got a whole life to live, you can take me, though
You can take me, though, you can take me, though
[Verse 2]
N***as poppin' bottles on my downfall, celebratin' (Celebratin')
All the times these n***as thought I'd fall off, that's motivatin' (That's motivatin')
Me to take this shit to levels that a n***a never been
Fake family, fake friends, now I'm 'bout to reminisce (Now I'm 'bout to reminisce)
For all the times that I ain't had no dollar in my pocket, yeah (In my pocket, yeah)
And n***as laughin' at me head down when I pop it, yeah (When I pop it, yeah)
Just bought a McLaren for all the times I had to walk to school
Should smack my stepdaddy for all the shit he put my mama through
One side of me say let it go, the other side say stand on it (Say stand on it)
See weakness in your eyes, your lil' boy done turned to big homie (Turned to big homie)
Got a daughter on the way and I'll never touch her mama, though
And your daughter was in my hands that night you had to touch my mama, though
My grandpa died, I ain't even go to his funeral and I don't give a fuck (I don't give a fuck)
All the shit he did to my mama, dog never apologized, wanna dig him up and make him stand on it (Make him stand on it)
And make the n***a be a man, homie (Man, homie)
My mama never seen a man 'til her lil' man grew up, I'm the man, mama
I'm the leader of our clan, mama (Leader of our clan, mama)
God got bigger plans, mama
You ain't meant to understand, mama (You ain't meant to understand, mama)
Love what you doin' with the kids, you arrived, just left Aaron, mama (Left Aaron, mama)
These days, no fearin', mama
Ain't no soul scarin' mama (Soul scarin' mama)
All smiles, that's the plan, I'm the baby brother, I always carried mama (I always carried mama)
All smiles, that's the plan, I'm the baby brother, I always carried mama, yeah
[Chorus]
Do we gotta go to church more or do we gotta pray more?
Too many years of tragedy, why you gotta bring more?
He got a whole life to live, you can take me, though
You can take me, though, you can take me, though
Do we gotta go to church more or do we gotta pray more?
Too many years of tragedy, why you gotta bring more?
He got a whole life to live, you can take me, though
You can take me, though, you can take me, though
