Yeah

So much more than what’s on the surface

Ya’m sayin?

Only God knows… real talk

I’m brokenhearted man…

Hurtin so bad

I don’t expect ya’ll to care

But I know there’s someone out there that feels me

You feel me?

So I'mma tell this story for them

Walk with me one time


[Verse 1: Sevin]

Yeah...It’s so hard maintainin’ hope when you in pain and broke

I can’t revoke the hurricane my city’s rainin’ dope

There ain’t no antidote

Gang bangin’ and they train us like the Navy bro

Maintain ya post and always keep ya banga’ close

It ain’t a hoax we them heinous folks that you can’t approach

We staying in coats and keep a gang of ropes for hangin’ throats

You slang tryin’ ta hang — it’s real ain’t it folks?

The beam came in packs, the pills came in boats

Every chick I’ve ever known has been a prostitute

And every nigga’s on his own when they gon’ prosecute

I don’t need to fool with liquor just to shoot a nigga

Been treated brutally this brew just tells me do it quicker

Sin whispers on the wind and it’s a grim picture

You’ll think a friend kissed ya

Then it’s the end nigga

Everything I’ve ever loved has been taken from me

I’m wrapped in pain like an ancient mummy… c’mon


[Chorus:]

You can make the day seem right

And make the darkness bright

That’s what you do


[Verse 2: Sevin]

Yeah… I was born into sin so I figured I’d raise hell

Thrown to the wind left sicker than AIDS sales

I used to blaze L’s with my niggas and make mail from crime

Loadin’ dimes in the tips of the gauge shells… it’s so real

Yeah… my neighborhood is a killa’ breeder

OP and middle fingers up if you don’t feel us either

Seventy millimeter gorilla eaters’ll kill a neega

On ya beata’ ya homeboys’ll have to spill a liter

This life is perfect evil

That’s right we murder people

They die behind crack pipes and hypodermic needles

I did enough it got me twisted up mentally

I had to give it up man they’d given us centuries

I got rellies’ ain’t comin’ home

They fake partners clubbin’ with they stunners on

Giggin’ like they stuntin’ for em

Meanwhile he’s losin weight in the cell

His girl trickin’ with the homie she ain’t makin his bail

Man, they marks in they hearts mane they naked and frail

Most these new niggas bangin’ wouldn’t make it in jail

Yeah… I just call it how I see it, take it how you feel

My status real don’t get at us I could have you killed

That ain’t a threat it’s a warnin’ out of love for ya

I really pray to forgive ‘em I ain’t a grudge holder

I tell it like it is, relative I have failed at life

No cellulite in my element it’s just hellish strife

Hotter than tapatio in bed with the baddest evil

Ghetto bread, attracted to metal like Mag-a-neto

How I’m currently livin certainly blurries my vision

They said He died but then I heard on the third He was risen

I’m well aware I need forgiveness like the rest of us

I’m wretched dust I wear my flesh just like a neck-a-lace

Sin burdens me I am buried in insecurities

With urgency need you to surgically insert your word in me

So there I said it

Jesus please be my paramedic

Don’t know where I’m headed

What good is peace if I ain’t there to get it

An unworthy disciple is what I’m likened to

I know your light is true, but who ignited you?

The same way a moth is attracted to flame

Is the way I find myself drawn back to your name

Yeah… so many questions mane I’m wrackin’ my brain

But your presence is an actual thang’

And I am askin’ for change

Chorus:

You can make the day seem right

And make the darkness bright

That’s what you do
