Yo I came from the bottom
Ask about where I hail from
Youngins dying daily
Doin murders wit them handguns
Say my city lost hope
But facts is I feel different
Made sumthin out of nuthin
Wit the crumbs we was given
Tryna save a million souls
I gotta heavy name
You was out here preaching death
I was out here tryna save
I was out there in them trenches
Speaking life to my brothers
And tell me they don't like church
Cuz they always judge em
They know my heart different
Came to say God love em
And this trap they got you in
I pray to God you rise above it
I know my people better
They say we lost our souls
Well I'm praying up to God
That he come and take control
Losing soldiers in this war
My approach is more urgent
I been on my knees daily askin
God to break these curses
Asking God to free our souls
My people really hurtin
I tell em trust yo will
And for that good you are workin
Father forgive me
Free my soul
Pick up the pieces
Make me whole
While I'm out here in these streets
Won't you carry me
Make my soul breath
Lord let my soul bleed
Born sinner I been up for six days
All my money dirty
I don't get it both ways
I still pay my tithes
Pray that God give me good grades
I thank you for your mercy and your good grace
Please be with me
The enemy is tempting
While I'm out in these streets
Avoiding the police/
My brother got a baby that he barely even sees
My mama won't even talk to me
So I focus on the money
Monetary vision got me headed for collision
How are we to survive with unbearable conditions
It's a war and I swear my sin winning
Hey
Father forgive me
Free my soul
Pick up the pieces
Make me whole
While I'm out here in these streets
Won't you carry me
Make my soul breath
Lord let my soul bleed
