Ace Hood - Lord Knows Lyrics

[Intro: Ace Hood]
Dear lord
I understand all the problems that I'm about to express to you
Are things you already know
Well here goes nothing

[Verse 1: Ace Hood]
Dear lord I'm on my knees and I'm begging please
Just guide me father this is a time I'm really in need
Feeling like I just can't go on mama cry she lost her home
Tears runnin all down her face, judge gave her ten days to be gone
My God what I'm gon' do now? So stressed that the day go by
Devil on me and I don't know why, beg mama just please don't cry
Time gets a little ruff I know when it come to giving up I don't
Got twins and they on they way see them starve wanna bet I won't
Sometimes I ask myself will I be a good father
Cause I've never had mine but I'd give the world to my daughters
Live and you learned reap what you sow regardless of wealth grind like you po'

[Hook:]
Man only lord knows what the hell I don't really been through
All the nights I ain't no food
Dear god tell me what I'm gon do
Man only lord knows all the time I was on my grind
Needed help what I never could find reach out and I couldn't get a dime
Man only lord knows, lord knows lord knows
Man only lord knows what the hell I done really been through
All the nights my mama couldn't move
And all the pain I've put her through
Man only lord knows

[Verse 2: Ace Hood]
And I'm sick and tired of this pain
Hate the lames in this game only down because of my name
Why switch because of my fame
Lord knows the road where I came, lord knows the nights that I've cried
Can't help the pain that's inside, lord wipe the tears from my eyes
Have you ever seen the letter of eviction no place to go but you wishin
That a blessin come and you live it yeah dog it's all in my vision
I've been through hell and them trenches I've seen the best of them fall
Lost a couple of my dogs, miss them niggas like shit
But it's still resigned in my heart
Soul hate and I'm scarred I'm a do it for them and 4/5th, god damn is hard
Muthaf*ck this rapping I really live this shit
Blood sweat and tears I really did this shit

[Hook:]
Man only lord knows what the hell I don't really been through
All the nights I hadn't no food
Dear god tell me what I'm gon do
Man only lord knows all the time I was on my grind
He help what I never could find reach out what I couldn't get a dime
Man only lord knows, lord knows lord knows
Man only lord knows what the hell I don't really been through
All the nights my mama couldn't move
And all the pain I've put her through
Man only lord knows

[Verse 3: Ace Hood]
And everyday that I wake I grind no time never wait for mine
Still waiting on the day I shine my soul in every part every line
I remember when I had no food light's off bills overdue
Lord knows that I've paid my dues and I won't forget when I got that news
They say my mama sickly thank god she seen her 50's
I pray and ask forgiveness please lord just keep her with me
I was down and out remember that like yesterday been out that struggle break it this year I'm blessed to say
Man this world is so f*cked up gas prices is way too high time's hard and I ain't gonna lie
Bust ass to try to get by so who the hell is you all to be judgin'
Man away from literally nothing yeah I'm talkin literally nothing

[Hook:]
Man only lord knows what the hell I don't really been through
All the nights I hadn't no food
Dear god tell me what I'm gon do
Man only lord knows all the time I was on my grind
He help what I never could find reach out what I couldn't get a dime
Man only lord knows, lord knows lord knows
Man only lord knows what the hell I don't really been through
All the nights my mama couldn't move
And all the pain I've put her through
Man only lord knows

[Outro:]
And I thank you Jesus for guidin me, for keeping me
In your name I pray

And only lord knows
