[D]
[Em]
I'm staring at this Bible as I keep glancing.
Dear Lord, I got questions and I need answers.
Trying to understand your vision, all I see is damage.
Just a bunch of dead bodies [G] in the street camping.
[D] A bunch of lost souls on their feet standing.
We supposed to be your children, [G] I thought we family.
You supposed to [D] be my father, bro, I need answers.
We don't need to die young, we [Em] just need chances.
Tired of living on the edge so we keep scrambling.
Trying to talk to these strippers but they keep dancing.
We just want to be number one like Steve Francis.
Bow our heads saying prayer [G] now the seas planting.
[D] Everywhere I turn I'm seeing emcees vanish.
Lot of good niggas gone, I don't understand it.
Lot of families lost and they seem stranded.
I ain't trying to disrespect you, [Em] I just need answers.
I know you watching us from heaven thinking who to save.
Cherry picking who should go next and who should stay.
I'd be on my way to heaven if I knew the way.
And bring back every good nigga you [D] choose to take.
They say you never wrong but you done made a few mistakes.
Cause you taking the wrong niggas, maybe you should trade.
Trade us back, all the real ones, [G#m] remove the fake.
I think you should trade.
Give us [Em] two pop back and take that nigga shook.
Let the legend resurrect, yeah he gon' live for good.
I be screaming thug life in every different hood.
If only you can bring it back, Lord, I wish you would.
Give us [D] biggie, give us pun, give us triple X.
Take that nigga Trump with you, that's a bigger threat.
That's too much power for a coward with no intellect.
That's a biggie with a collar, there's a disconnect.
Niggas [Em] dying, mama crying, grandma need a tissue.
Niggas shooting up the church, now I need a pistol.
All them niggas still living, you'll see the issue.
By how you say Selena, then you take a lean with you.
I ain't [D] trying to disrespect you, just need to meet her with you.
I ain't trying to overstep, just want a reason with you.
Give us back our love, want to take the evil with you.
Send them suckers straight to hell, they don't need a vision.
I need [Em] you to give us back Martin Luther.
Take Martin Shkreli, give us back Malcolm.
Take R.
Kelly, R.I.P. Lil Snoop, get that boy's life back.
Take Eric Holder, give us Eric [D] right back.
I'm sending you this message, Lord, I hope you hit me right back.
They say I'm on the wrong train, I know I'm on the right track.
His trade walk garden only deal with trial, fight back.
Zimmerman walk around free, we don't [Em] like that.
Why you take our mothers from us?
Fathers and our sisters and our cousins from us?
Got these [D] children getting murdered while they double dutching.
Wonder why the fuck you take Nipsey Hussle from us?
Damn, you [Em] took a true king, a true brother from us.
This a fucking marathon, but they're running from us.
Now [D] everybody got guns, niggas up to something.
And every gangster wanna prove that they tough or something.
You know it's [Em] not fair, tell the truth.
I've been in my feelings too.
But if you took Emmett Till, at least take Dylan Roof.
At least take James Holmes.
I ain't even mad at that, just bring back Whitney.
And give us Michael Jackson back.
[G] Feds want me, and then [D] slam it down.
Ain't no justice for Sandra Bland, we up like a ceiling fan.
Lord, if you listening, I'm just looking for a hand to hand.
Take out the [Em] fuck, niggas, and give us back our fam again.
Drowning in my tears, trying to pray for something.
Wonder why you give us life for you to take it from us.
Wonder why you give us famine and erase it from us.
Maybe hopefully you can have a conversation with us.
Maybe I'm just probably tripping, because I need a hug.
The hood can't find jobs, now we need to plug.
Everybody and they mama trying to be a thug.
I don't go to church, because I'm afraid of being [Em] judged.
I've been staring at the ceiling as I lie in bed.
Watching niggas follow trends like Simon Says.
I pray you give us back the real ones and try again.
Or maybe take them niggas that deserve to [G] die instead.
Tommy [D] Lauren running my oven and she get defensive.
Lauren Ingram laughing at death and disrespecting.
I really feel like you should teach them stupid hoes a lesson.
Either that or give us back somebody who deserve the [Em] blessings.
I left out a bunch of names that I forgot to mention.
Cost too much to pay attention and it got expensive.
Father, forgive me for I know not what I do.
And now I'm reaching out to you, hoping you hear me and return [G] the message.
I know [D] that you got our back and that you're not against us.
Or maybe you just love us, so you doing shit to [G] test us.
I just kind [D] of thought that you would do more to protect us.
They say the good die young and I ain't on [Em] the guest list.
I've been drinking, Lord, forgive me as my blood racing.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
I'm just frustrated.
I don't mean to question you.
I'm just confused.
I don't know what else to do.
I've been patient and it [D] sucks waiting.
Took my mans from me, that forever hurts.
But putting the blame on you, that'll never work.
I know this ain't your fault.
It's the [F#m] devil's work.
[F#] Devil's [Em] work.
