And if I die tonight, will I see her in the afterlife? (Jesus) But back to reality, where everything's a tragedy (Lord) And better have a strategy or you could be a statistic Little boy dies, he's just one of the mystic And mama steady crying, 'cause she really the victim (Jesus) And she's getting high and she's getting addicted (Lord) And her older boy was stuck with the picture, painted vivid That's a family portrait, and her daughter just absorbed it Sixteen and pregnant, baby daddy say she should abort it (Jesus) But we can't afford it, so she decides to move forward (Lord) Baby shower time, father didn't show up And she was feeling nauseous like she finna throw up The water flows down her legs, yeah, it's finna go up (Jesus) A year done went by, her daughter just turned one (Lord) And she's still dependent on her mom Big brother in the streets, he went and bought him a gun He want revenge 'cause the pain, feelin' numb (Jesus) And her mom still doing drugs 'cause that's the only time she feel loved (Lord) But is it real love? Do the scars really heal up? From all the pain that done built up, but they don't feel us (Jesus) A week done flew by, the big bro ridin' then he see the guys (Lord) Left his little brother on the side, bleeding from the side He seein' red it's like he's bleeding through his eyes To see him dead the only thing that'll help the grieving up inside (Jesus) He even let him get the last meal, he done with the streets after this, this his last kill (Lord) He gotta show him that it's that real He ran up on him with the pipe like, "Nigga, stand still" (Jesus) "You took my brother life, you made my mother cry" (Lord) "Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ" He said, "Go 'head, take my life, I've seen everything but Christ" The big bro just blacked out and all you seeing was the light (Jesus, Lord)
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
Uh-huh, in the name of the true and living God, the beneficent, the merciful Thank you for bringing me up the rough side of the mountain like Ertuğrul (Jesus) Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage (Lord) To the monk who visited Rothschilds like Thelonious did Pannonica It's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin' through your monitor (Sheesh) Back from the great beyond like the son of man or the son of Donda (Jesus) I never rolled the GXSR or the R6 or the Honda (Lord) But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda (Facts) What the Clintons did to Haiti and Downing Street did to Ghana In Tenochtitlan they call me Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Jesus) I shape the tectonic plates of the game if I lay one vocal (Lord) The God is interstellar while you fellas remain local My bars is like the pyramid temples of Pacal Votan (Jesus) As sure as the DOJ confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord) That could change the world like Yacub with two pieces of steel I swore to my microphone, I swore to the Christ's throneroom But when you great, they wanna say you took an L, José Castillo (Jesus) I'm in the fight here, fight here, for what seemed like lightyears (Lord) My rugged cross and thorny crowns squeeze out Christ tears Thirty pieces of silver clout, my PR priced here It's a war outside, it's a war outside (Jesus) It's like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah outside (Lord)

I didn't stay on this journey this long for that All my life, man, I've been waitin' for my father to come home. They told me when I graduate eighth grade, he would be home Then they told me when I graduate from high school, he would be home I went away to Morris Brown, I graduated and he still ain't home. Now I'm a adult, and my daughter went away to college and graduated. He still not home. Now even more than that, my son, he graduated eighth grade and we still waitin' Matter of fact, he hasn't hugged, kissed, or touched any of his grandchildren And they haven't been able to touch they grandfather. Even though it is not seen that way for some of us, but for many of us, Larry Hoover is a beacon of hope for his community, who deserves to breathe free air Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry Hoover Sr. (Lord)
