Lyrics:

Father, forgive meI''m staring at this Bible as I keep glancingDear Lord, I got questions and I need answersTryna understand your vision, all I see is damageJust a bunch of dead bodies in the street campingA bunch of lost souls on their feet standingWe supposed to be your children, I thought we familyYou''re supposed to be my Father, bruh, I need answersWe don''t need to die young, we just need chancesTired of living on the edge so we keep scramblingTryna talk to these strippers but they keep dancingWe just wanna be number one like Steve FrancisBow our heads, say a prayer, now the seed''s plantedEverywhere I turn, I''m seeing emcees vanishLot of good niggas gone, I don''t understand itLot of families lost and they seem strandedI ain''t tryna disrespect you, I just need answersI know you''re watching us from heaven thinking, who to save?Cherry pickin'' who should go next and who should stayI''d be on my way to heaven if I knew the wayAnd bring back every good nigga you choose to takeThey say you never wrong, but you done made a few mistakes''Cause you taking the wrong niggas, maybe you should tradeTrade us back all the real ones, remove the fakesI think you should tradeGive us 2Pac back, and take that nigga Suge (Ooh!)Let the legend resurrect and he gon'' live for good (Ooh!)I been screaming, Thug lifeIn every different hood (Thug life, thug life)If only you could bring him back, Lord I wish you wouldGive us Biggie, give us Pun, give us triple XTake that nigga Trump with you, that''s a bigger threatThere''s too much power for a coward with no intellectThat''s a bigot with a collar, there''s a disconnectNiggas dying, mama crying, grandma need a tissueNiggas shootin'' up a church, now I need a pistolAll them niggas still livin'', you don''t see the issueBut how you take Selena and then you take Aaliyah with you?I ain''t tryna disrespect, just need to meet up with you (Lord)I ain''t tryna overstep, just want to reason with you (Lord)Give us back our loved ones and take the evil with you (Lord)Send them suckers straight to hell, they don''t need a vigil (Woo!)I need you to give us back Martin Luther, take Martin Shkreli (Take!)Give us back Malcolm, take R.
