I ain't _ _ [G] a drinker, I'm a thinker, call it what you [Gm] want, but if you turn [Am] your back,
know that you just missed your chance, to witness [G] the realest shit [Gm] that's ever been
told to man.
I found [A] myself losing focus at a Sunday service, embarrassed [F] so I start questioning [Gm] God, what
is my purpose?
He say to live [A] the way he did, that's all he wants from me, spread the word [F] and witness
he [Gm] rose on the first Sunday, I said alright, [Am]
enthused that my Lord gave a listen, [A] I opened
my Bible [G] in search to be [Bb] a better Christian, and this from a [Am] person that never believed
in religion, but shit my life is so [Gm] fucked up man I can't help [Dm] but give in, I'm giving
[Am]
testimonies to strangers I never met, [A] hopped on the corpet and [Gm] told them how I was [Dm] truly
blessed, felt like I'm free [Am] from all my sins when the service was over, walked out the
church then got a call [D] that my homie [Dm] was murdered, and lost my faith again.
_ _ _ What am [D] I going through?
_ [D] Gotta [Dm] have faith, _ _ life is too [A]
much of a struggle, _ where [Dm] is the old _ faith?
_ _ _ [Am] Old faith.

All you need is the sacrifice of the church.
Single black [Am] parent from Compton raising children of foe, as bold [G] hennas and baptists, [Gm] cause
papa they don't know, her day consists [Am] of working back and forth with babysitters, they
finally [G] wanna watch her [Gm] kids so she pay her sister, her baby [Am] daddy ain't bout shit, that
nigga ain't bout shit, [B] spit this daughter [G] milk just to cop a new outfit, [Gm] she pray to
God [Am] every night hoping that he'll mature, [G] and maybe one day his kids [Gm] something that
he'll live for, baby wanna [Am] go back to school but she needs some help, because it's hard
trying to pay the [Bb] bills when you're by yourself, she thought about [Am] credit card scams till she
heard a voice that said the [G] devil is alive, make [Dm] a better choice, and so it's back [Am] to
McDonald's and every month dealing [Dm] with them crazy ass people at the county building, look
to the [Am] heavens and ask them to make a better way, they got a letter in the mail, [Gm] lost their
[Dm] section 8, and lost their faith again.
_ _ _ _ What am [D] I going through?
_ Gotta [Dm] have faith, _ life is too [D]
much of a struggle, _ where is [Dm] the old faith?
Who can give _ _ [Am] me _ faith?
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
Appreciate the opportunity to visit my nigga, stay faithful to my work, and stay out of my reflection.
[A] I had dreams of holding a 9 miller, the race killer, [Gm] hacks and wires, my eyes fill up,
[A]
each day it gets more realer, rank of tanks [G] bang like [Gm] gorillas, it's the jungle when the
niggas ensue, [F] _
[A] the rats lurking, vultures circling the serpents, [Gm] cats lying through they teeth,
my nigga didn't deserve it, [Am] I flirted with the idea of caressing [G] a skill to make karma
[Gm] come faster than she normally will, [Am] it's ill to see my faith try and leave [Gm] me, it's so
hard to get it, [Bb] to get rid of it, it's [Am] easy, I'm trying to reach cloud 9, that's what my
[G] nigga's about, but it never [Bb] rained in California, let some pistols [Am] out, until there my feet
planted [Dm] on the ground, [Gm] shadowboxing my [Bb] conscience, till my faith start [Am] responding, and if I get
no answer, just know I tried, I should've never [Gm] looked into [Dm] a son's eyes, great time boy.
_ _ _ What am I [D] going to do?
_ Gotta [Dm] have faith, _ life is too [A] much, I'm in this, _ _ where is [Dm] the love we're _ faithful, _ or
[Am]
faith?
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _

All you need is to stop the [Am] slurgy, just for my people that's stressed and [A] whenever times
is hard, your mind [G] slipping wondering is there [A] really a God, knowing you shouldn't think
that way and try to freeze your brain, but whenever it's pain that [Gm] feeling forever remains,
we can't believe what [A] we can't see, and reality seems stronger than prayer, [G] cause you tried
to change your life and now you live in a wheelchair, and your [A] son was born with cancer
and he live in urgent care, [F] at the tender [Gm] age of 12, and you feel that no one cares,
[Am]
searching for answers, that's human [F] nature, you ain't in [G] the wrong, just know when [Dm] you
feeling that way, his spirit's in the [Am] wrong, I watch people I know, pray and catch the
holy [Gm] ghost, and wonder [Bb] why I ain't never caught that feeling [Am] before, maybe they know him better,
[A] oh I don't know no better, [Gm] but what I [Dm] do know is that he's real and he lives [Am] forever, so
the next time you feel like your world's about to end, I hope [Dm] you study, cause he's testing
your faith again, _ _ _ _ I'd rather not live like there isn't a [F] God, _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ than die and find out [D] there
really is, think about it.
