In the ghetto, where I broke the sac
Wasn't raised in the cul-de-sac, matter fact
I'ma a product of these ghetto streets
Y'all don't want no part of me
Used to roll with the bad boys
Made mad noise with mad toys
But I thank God for the bloodshed
On Calvary, in spite of me
He be Lookin' out for a G like me
I'm like, lil homey, don't be like me
To the young gunners on the old blocks
Where the new sets trip, let's get connected
To the disconnected, disrespected, disenfranchised
You get your guys, I get my guys
We gone' get back all the babies
Zulu, respect that
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Please forgive me of all sin, Hallelujah
But the days are long and the nights are long
Now telling everything, so why pretend
And I know it's wrong, not the thing to do
I know I gotta keep my faith in you
But I'm not strong, please make me strong
I'm gonna need to borrow strength from you
Listen, from the womb when I rolled the dice
In a world full of evil like poltergeist
But every time the devil tried
Jesus stood right by side
Ex girl to the next girl, kids outta wedlock
Devil had a brother in the headlock
Listen, I been places you never wanna go
Raised up like a soldier, man
Might as well call a brother Kid Quantico
From the womb, when I rolled the dice
In a world full of evil like poltergeist
But every time the devil tried
Jesus stood right by side
Ex girl to the next girl, kids outta wedlock
Devil had a brother in the headlock
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Please forgive me of all sin, Hallelujah
But the days are long and the nights are long
Now telling everything, so why pretend
And I know it's wrong, not the thing to do
I know I gotta keep my faith in you
But I'm not strong, please make me strong
I'm gonna need to borrow strength from you
