Ohhh ohh oh oh oooooh[00:00:00]
Dear god bring our p o w's home[00:00:02]
Ohhh ohh oh oh oooooh[00:00:05]
And bring our brothers on lockdown home amen[00:00:07]
Whoa oh oh ya ya yah[00:00:15]
Whoa oh oh ya ya ya ya[00:00:17]
He's a ni**a from the back block[00:00:20]
On everybody laptop who used to slang crack rock[00:00:22]
Hov' and this ni**a from the chi'[00:00:25]
Who hold a note like the guy who said the British is coming[00:00:27]
My ni**a kels oh yeah the niggas is coming[00:00:29]
Get out your good dishes or something like it's thanksgiving ni**a[00:00:32]
It's hov' and none other than the r[00:00:34]
And without further adieu like Freddie get ready it's[00:00:37]
Whatever happen lord don't send me back[00:00:40]
And whenever I did wrong it was your name I cried[00:00:41]
I heard you forgave over and over again[00:00:44]
But when I found that out I became immune to my sins[00:00:46]
Lay wide awake in the middle of my sleep[00:00:49]
I see dead people and sometimes it's me lord[00:00:51]
I never wanted to be a thugfather[00:00:54]
I only wanted to be a son of a father[00:00:57]
Rahh that's how it sounds it's sad[00:00:59]
Worse than the war in Iraq when it's me against i[00:01:01]
I gave up the w**d and somehow I'm still high[00:01:04]
Three years still seeing the w**d in my eyes lord[00:01:06]
Sometimes I don't know what you want from me[00:01:09]
But I do know you know what I want from you[00:01:11]
Give it to me c'mon take away this hennessy[00:01:13]
Take away me running the street[00:01:15]
Stop people from hating me take away all of this jealousy[00:01:17]
And prejudicy[00:01:21]
Thought you said it was a better place[00:01:22]
I grew up around pimps hustlers hoes and project gang sters[00:01:24]
Hard to believe in what I can't see[00:01:28]
I gotta get this money and feed my family[00:01:31]
Whatever deity guides my life[00:01:34]
Dear lord don't let me die tonight[00:01:35]
But if I shall before I wake what shall I say[00:01:38]
It's been a good run from hoodlum to island estates[00:01:40]
How could one who made such foul mistakes[00:01:43]
Still be allowed to have a smile on my face[00:01:45]
Hell whatever the case I'm glad it wasn't murder[00:01:47]
In a town you never hearda from a nickel plated burner[00:01:50]
Now my life's straight like a perm[00:01:53]
Try to take the spot I earned muh'f**ker better learn[00:01:55]
It's hov'[00:01:58]
He's a ni**a from the back block[00:01:59]
On everybody laptop who used to slang crack rock[00:02:00]
Hov' and this ni**a from the chi'[00:02:03]
Who hold a note like the guy who said the British is coming[00:02:05]
My ni**a kels oh yeah the niggas is coming[00:02:07]
Get out your good dishes or something like it's thanksgiving ni**a[00:02:10]
It's hov' and none other than the r[00:02:12]
And without further adieu like Freddie get ready it's[00:02:15]
Hey boy hear me out got a few mo' things to say[00:02:17]
These niggas be chasing me like everyday[00:02:19]
C'mere no my life on crutches devils say[00:02:22]
I'll never walk again but the devil is a liar[00:02:24]
Cause I believe within you're the reason that I'm still here[00:02:27]
Even though I don't act like it[00:02:30]
Even though I hear my calling and fight it[00:02:31]
Fools do me so wrong it's hard to stay righteous[00:02:33]
If pimping was a mountain to heaven I'd hike it[00:02:35]
Believe me lord I want you[00:02:38]
Got money and fame and still it just won't do[00:02:39]
Sometimes I don't like who I am[00:02:42]
When I look in the mirror my reflection is uncle Sam[00:02:44]
And every night I have these weird dreams[00:02:46]
That a creature's right beside me wake up and can't breathe[00:02:49]
I feel like it's twenty of me[00:02:52]
Going 20 different directions on a one way street lord[00:02:54]
I got houses money and cars and met[00:02:56]
Every single superstar I got the whole music industry sewed[00:02:59]
But it still don't matter when I'm gone and my casket closed go[00:03:03]
Whatever guillotine guides my life[00:03:06]
Dear lord don't let me die tonight[00:03:08]
But if I shall before I wake I'd accept my fate[00:03:11]
I did what I did my heart was in the right place[00:03:13]
I did so I could live to put food on my plate[00:03:16]
You musta loved me not to let it end by 3 that day[00:03:18]
Well whatever the case I'm glad it wasn't murder[00:03:21]
In a town you never hearda from a nickel plated burner[00:03:23]
I guess I'm not finished with my journey[00:03:26]
Please forgive me for my sins sh*t I'm still trying to learn[00:03:28]
Meet hov'[00:03:30]
He's a ni**a from the back block[00:03:32]
On everybody laptop who used to slang crack rock[00:03:33]
Hov' and this ni**a from the chi'[00:03:36]
Who hold a note like the guy who said the British is coming[00:03:38]
My ni**a kels oh yeah the niggas is coming[00:03:41]
Get out your good dishes or something like it's thanksgiving ni**a[00:03:43]
It's hov' and none other than the r[00:03:45]
And without further adieu like Freddie get ready it's[00:03:48]
