[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
