[Chorus]
Time after time, find I question my life
How I went wrong, will it ever be right?
Will I rise? Will I fall? Stand tall
Continue asking, but I`m knowing only God know
Time after time, find I question my life
Where I went wrong, will it ever be right?
Will I rise? Will I fall? Stand tall
Continue asking, but I`m knowing only God know
[Verse One]
Growing up in the hood as a hard knock
I never knew nothing too much about young
My only concern was making my money and running these streets as a thug
Instead of the birds and bees, I always talk to murderers and the G`s
That coldness inside me, but I ain`t trying to hurt nobody
Temptation is keeping me steadily going under
And I wonder, if I could make it through the thunder
Cause I done caused so much hurt and pain to some that ain`t deserve a thang
If I could change that, it would all be rearranged
But what`s done is done and I paid the price
and now I`m like, Help me Lord, to better my life, my life
Just give me the chance to prove the world that I can be the man that I am
And I plan, on keeping it realer, really slow and steady
[Chorus]
[Verse Two]
So now I`m headed to the chapel and I`m fin` to try marriage
It`s goin` down yeah, yeah, yeah, but what do ya know?
Who woulda knew that would make situations worse
And my curse, nothing I`ve tried seems to work
And I drop to my knees and I pray, yes I pray
And I wonder if I`ll ever see a better day (I need a better day)
I`ve seen much in my time and I think it was too much for my eyes
The wickedness pulling me closer to failure everytime I think I`m rising, yeah
But you live and you learn and try to make better, gotta get control
Then follow the Lord and who knows where you`ll go, for sho`
I can see how I`ve been sinnin
I`m asking the Lord for a little bit of forgiving, `giving
[Chorus] - repeat `til fade
