[F] Dear mama, you wouldn't believe what I'm going through, but still I [Cm] got my head up just [Fm] like I promised you.
Ever since you left, your baby boy's been dealing with problem [Gm] after problem.
Tell me, what am I supposed [Fm] to do?
See, I get lost sometimes, don't understand this place.
[Cm] Look in the mirror sometimes and [Fm] see a troubled face.
And then my tears roll down and hit the sink, then I hold my [Cm] head up high.
Hope the man upstairs can hear my [Fm] cry.
All these questions deep inside my mind, [Bb] like, if Jesus loved me, why'd he leave [Fm] my side?
Mama, I'm still trying to get the answer why.
You were [Cm] young, 45, and you had to die.
[F] I'm always trying to help people out, and it's insane.
[Cm] People trying to take food [Fm] out my mouth.
For real, though, seems like the more money I make, for real, [Cm] the more drama y'all try to [F] create.
For real, though, the more I try to move into the positive.
For real, though, [Cm] the more y'all don't want to [Fm] let me live.
When will you realize that I don't owe you nothing?
Need to get up [Cm] off your butt and go get your own [F] something.
I'm pulling on my hair to keep from snapping off.
[Cm] Who's right up in my camp [Fm] and be yapping off?
Somebody out there, please pray on what I'm talking about.
[Cm] Still young, trying to figure it all [F] out.
Feeling I need a hug.
Is there anybody out [Cm] there willing to embrace [F] the thought?
Feeling like a change of heart, and all I really need [Cm] is a sign or a word from God.
[F] So shower down on me, wet me with your love.
I need [Cm] you to take me [F] and lift me up.
Oh [Cm] yeah.
I [F] gave 13 years of my life [Bb] to this industry.
[Cm] Hit song or not, I've [Fm] given all of me.
You smile in my [Eb] face and tell me that you love.
But then [Cm] before you know the truth, you're so quick to [Fm] judge me.
That's all right.
Go ahead.
[Bb] Keep talking.
Cause [Eb] I'mma hold my head up high and [Fm] keep walking.
And reach for the sky.
Focus [Bb] on the plan.
[Cm] Rescue the ghetto with this paper and [F] pen.
And this is for the homies that we lost.
No, we cannot [Cm] forget y'all.
So the hats [Fm] come off.
We pour a little liquor out for the memories.
I [Gm] know y'all up there sitting on chrome in them pearly [F] streets.
And street survivors, be careful, stay [Bb] alive.
I'm praying for your families.
I hope you [Fm] pray for mine.
There used to be a time you wished me well.
[Cm] It hurts to know you wanna see me [F] fail.
And don't forget I kept you out of jail.
[Cm] Was my arms when you needed [Fm] to be held.
They turned their backs on you.
Who was there believing?
Who [Gm] said your troubles were only for a [F] season?
In church together, trying to pick up all the pieces.
And now you [Cm] get training.
I find you in [Fm] the name of Jesus.
Somebody please pray on what I'm talking about.
[Gm] Still young, trying to figure it [F] all out.
Hell, I need a hug.
[Gm] Is there anybody out there willing to embrace [Fm] a thug?
Hey, I'm like a chain [Cm] of heart.
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God.
[F] Shower down on me with me what you [Gm] love.
I need you to take me, [F] lift me up.
[Cm] Man,
[F] I tell you it's enough to make you wanna give it up.
[Cm] Thank God for my fans, [Fm] cause through it all they showed me love.
To my sister and two [Gm] brothers.
Tell me why can't we just try to get along with one another?
[F] Instead of hurting one another, fighting one another.
Man, I [Cm] pray to God he get my family [Fm] back together.
Let me see what I wanna see, just to blind me.
All of [Cm] these luxuries, why did I [Fm] leave?
And then you push me out in front to [Bb] get behind me.
Then you [Cm] set me up by blessing [Fm] me to blind me.
I'm a grown man with kids now, [Gm] stakes are higher.
Gotta [Cm] go to church now to avoid the [Fm] fire.
Frankly, y'all to keep it real, I'm just tired.
Dreams [Cm] of being dead, but the devil [Fm] is a liar.
Church folks, you need to stop judging.
[Cm] But you will be the first to be [Fm] judged.
And women stop depending on us men.
They [Cm] start depending on the man [Fm] above.
And as for private, here's what I [Gm] need to do.
Get rid of them clowns and get myself a whole other [Fm] crew.
And media, do your [Bb] job.
But please just [Cm] don't make my job [Fm] so hard.
Somebody please pray on [Gm] what I'm talking about.
I'm [Cm] still young, trying to figure it all [F] out.
Heaven, I need a hug.
Isn't [Gm] nobody out there willing to embrace [Fm] the throne?
Feeling like a train [Cm] to park.
And all I really need is a sign of a working God.
[F] So shower down on me with what you love.
[Gm] I need you to take me.
[F] And lift me up.
[Gm] Yeah, yeah.
