I don't understand you muthaf**as anymore It's like what the f** you want me to do? I guess be unhappy right? It seems like you don't understand I'm on a mission Trying to get us out this ghetto land I seen mom shed tears for years Trying to open my eyes And all I did was keep finding ways To load up my nine Mama please forgive me I swear it's hurting my soul I gotta swallow my pride Cause you the queen of my throne I feel alone Shivering & cold With no where to go I just broke up with my girl I got caught with them hoes It's been a month I haven't seen my son I feel like I'm done I need affection baby girl That's why I'm searching for love I close my eyes Hoping this is just a bad dream I'm slippin' in to darkness Jesus come & save me Tell me it's okay I know I made mistakes I wanna go away from this cloudy day They tell me that I'm hopeless Trying to break my focus This hundred dollar deal sh** Tells me they don't know sh** I've been gone a while away from you And I hope you overstand That I've got to do what I must do To be a better man Cause if I was just to act a fool Do nothing with myself Then all my blessings would be cursed My world would crumble in It's a joy when I sit down And think of the good times that we have And what we do to make it through When the good turns to the bad Well I hope you'll find it in your heart And know these words are true And please don't fuss Because I must go do what I must do Hey baby don't you worry Even though the road is rocky I'll be coming home to you again
And if you thought that I was lost I have to burn my cross Now I'm free from all these chains Been gone a while away from you And I hope you overstand That I've got to do what I must do To be a better man Cause if I was just to act a fool Do nothing with myself Then all my blessings would be cursed My world would crumble in Danny when you grow up I'll tell you where I been at I'll tell you what I been through I'll tell you where I lived at Your daddy always loved you Son your daddy always cared No matter what your mom says I'll always be there From the moment you was born I always rocked you to sleep My eyes couldn't believe You were just like me I sell d** I'ma thug I come from the gutter Just an ordinary gangsta I'ma hood muthaf**a I got a little talent So my friends mad at me They hate me low key When I consider them family Your hand shake Ain't really matching your smile You use to hug me before But I could give a f** now Walking with my head down Trying to act like it's cool But my tears keep falling When I think about you I just wish you could support my lifestyle You pushed me away But girl I'm needing you right now I've been gone a while away from you And I hope you overstand That I've got to do what I must do To be a better man Cause if I was just to act a fool Do nothing with myself Then all my blessings would be cursed My world would crumble in I've been gone a while away from you And I hope you overstand That I got to do what I must do To be a better man
