Written by:Swizz Beatz/DMX[00:00:00]
Let us pray[00:00:00]
I thank you Lord for my birth and everything that's followed[00:00:03]
I thank you Lord for today and I will pray for tomorrow[00:00:08]
I thank you Lord for the love of my life and a friend[00:00:15]
I made a promise and I'm lovin' my wife til the end[00:00:19]
I thank you Lord for your guidance cause it's all that counts[00:00:25]
And right here right now Lord this is your house[00:00:29]
I thank you Lord for a dream that came true to light[00:00:35]
And I ask you to bless everybody in this room tonight[00:00:39]
I don't always do the right thing and I ask you to forgive me[00:00:44]
Cause I need you here wit me[00:00:49]
Without you in my life it's empty[00:00:51]
I think back how some people did me like violence was the remedy[00:00:54]
And because I think of that now I pray for my enemy[00:00:58]
Not because of what I'll do but because they don't know[00:01:04]
There's somethin' better after here and everybody won't go[00:01:08]
So I ask you to forgive them and we'll hope they see[00:01:14]
And I thank you for the love that they've given to me[00:01:19]
I will not abuse it nor will I lead them astray[00:01:24]
You see I love 'em like children that I see everyday[00:01:28]
And I pray no we pray together[00:01:33]
To get us through the bad weather and we love you forever[00:01:37]
Let your thought and my heart go hand in hand[00:01:42]
I first thought but to start but I stand a man[00:01:47]
And for as long as I can as long as you permit me[00:01:53]
Please give me the strength I need to live[00:01:59]
Bear with me amen[00:02:02]
We each walk the path that you've chosen[00:02:11]
Yes[00:02:14]
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right[00:02:15]
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight[00:02:18]
They got us suspectin' a war[00:02:21]
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord[00:02:23]
Lord you left me stranded and I don't know why[00:02:26]
Told me to live my life now I'm ready to die[00:02:29]
Ready to fly I cry but I shed no tears[00:02:31]
You told me you would dead those fears it's been years[00:02:34]
Snakes still comin' at me just missin'[00:02:37]
Sometimes I think all you do with me is just listen[00:02:40]
I thought that I was special that's what you told me[00:02:42]
Homey stop actin' like you don't know me[00:02:45]
What'd I do so bad that it sent you away from me[00:02:48]
Not only sent you away but made you stay away from me[00:02:50]
My child I'm here as I've always been[00:02:53]
It is you who went away and now are back again[00:02:55]
What did I say follow your word and be true[00:02:58]
What did you do well what I wanted to do[00:03:01]
What have you seen darkness and hell at a glance[00:03:03]
What do you want all I want is another chance[00:03:06]
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right[00:03:08]
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight[00:03:10]
They got us suspectin' a war[00:03:14]
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord[00:03:16]
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right[00:03:18]
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight[00:03:21]
They got us suspectin' a war[00:03:25]
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord[00:03:26]
Just because you went away my doors are not locked[00:03:29]
Wanna come back home all you gotta do is knock[00:03:32]
You see I left home a boy but returned as a man[00:03:35]
Full grown and I'm still not able to stand[00:03:37]
I gave you a hand[00:03:40]
Well but I was lookin' the wrong way[00:03:41]
Figured out the plan then I started to pray[00:03:43]
And that prayer took me from here over there[00:03:45]
Back to over here now it got me like where[00:03:48]
Do I belong do I fit in[00:03:51]
Things on my mind where do I begin[00:03:54]
It's easier to sin but it hurts my heart[00:03:56]
I'm really tryin' to win so where do we start[00:03:59]
Thou shalt not steal[00:04:01]
But what if he stole from me[00:04:02]
Thou shalt not kill[00:04:04]
But what if he's tryin' to kill me[00:04:05]
Thou shalt not take my name in vain[00:04:07]
No matter how hard it rains withstand the pain[00:04:09]
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right[00:04:12]
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight[00:04:14]
They got us suspectin' a war[00:04:18]
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord[00:04:19]
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right[00:04:22]
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight[00:04:24]
They got us suspectin' a war[00:04:28]
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord[00:04:30]
I'm ready to meet him our father who art in heaven[00:04:33]
I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance at twenty seven[00:04:36]
No longer afraid to knock on your door[00:04:39]
Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war[00:04:41]
After what I just saw I'm ridin' with the Lord[00:04:44]
Cause I really can't afford to lose my head by the sword[00:04:46]
And now that I've seen what I need to see[00:04:49]
Please take me where I need to be[00:04:51]
What have you learned[00:04:54]
It's better to tell the truth than to lie[00:04:55]
What have you learned[00:04:57]
To love my life until I die[00:04:58]
What have you learned[00:04:59]
Violence isn't always the key[00:05:00]
What have you learned[00:05:02]
You can't always believe what you see[00:05:03]
What have you learned[00:05:05]
It's better to forgive and forget[00:05:06]
What have you learned[00:05:07]
Give as you expect to get[00:05:08]
What have you learned[00:05:10]
That I can't go on without you[00:05:11]
What have you learned[00:05:12]
I musta been a fool to ever doubt you[00:05:13]
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right[00:05:15]
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight[00:05:17]
They got us suspectin' a war[00:05:21]
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord[00:05:23]
I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin' ain't right[00:05:25]
Black hate white white hate black it's right back to the same fight[00:05:28]
They got us suspectin' a war[00:05:32]
But the real war is to follow the law of the Lord[00:05:33]
I'm ready to meet him[00:05:36]
I'm ready to meet him[00:05:38]
I'm ready to meet him[00:05:41]
I'm ready to meet him[00:05:44]
I'm ready to meet him[00:05:46]
