Hope Road-Thi'sl

Watching the world fall apart all around me/ Now everyday I wake up thank the Lord that He found me/ Now every chance I get man I'm praying for my dawgs/ Because they out there on the block playing with them laws/ They gave my homie 25 to life life in the pen/ He's 17 years old never coming back again/ Now looking through a glass is the only way I see him/ I tell him bout the Lord cuz He the only can free him/ I see the baby in the crack house/ Mommy in the back room/ Sister doing drugs everyday in the bathroom/ Wonder why they pull me wild n out int he classroom/ They don't know the story and the drama that's attached to me/ I starred in every ghetto story/ But who's daddy he have to ask Maury/ But Maury told him daddy never coming back again/ Cuz daddy doing life for a crime in the pen/ Man we born in the ghetto/ we raised in the ghetto/ They call us rock stars cuz we wave heavy metal/ That bullet hit us hard send us straight to the devil/ Here come the paul-bearers grave digger get the shovel/ we looking for that ribbon in the sky/ But that's hard to see when we ain't even got eyes/ Imma live everybody else die/ Imma crack a smile everybody else cry/ My granny told me never question God, but why so hard living where we live, and being who we are/ the system and the laws, man they made for us to fall/ But you can help us God, please help us God./ So hard to see your world come tumbling down/ It's falling fast and I have no idea how/ can anybody hear me/ I know, you know, what's down the road again/ there's hope, I know, show me/ I saw a thousand birds fall from the sky/ the? sighs say we living in the last times/ the clock is ticking harder I can hear it in my mind/ We got floods in Brazil, floods in America/ Floods all around the world they even hit Australia/ Countries getting bombed, raided, war is ahead of us/ Earthquakes shake the ground, Lord what you telling us/ So many people gathered in the streets/ Uproars break out in the middle east/ Got me on my knees praying to the Lord for peace/ Bloody bodies being found dead in the streets/ We see a baby crying looking for its mom/ Searching through the rubble of a suicide bomb/ A lady crying holding onto a bloody arm/ The country getting torn apart by a civil war/ Lord they looking for that ribbon in the sky/ But it's hard to see when they aint even got eyes/ Imma live everybody else die/ Imma crack a smile everybody else cry/ My granny told me never question God, but why so hard living where we live, and being who we are/ the system and the laws, man they made for us to fall/ But you can help us God, please help us God./ So hard to see your world come tumbling down/ It's falling fast and I have no idea how/ can anybody hear me/ I know, you know, what's down the road again/ there's hope, I know, show me/
