Dmx - Prayer II / Ready To Meet Him lyrics

[Talking] Please give me the strength I need to live... Bear with me Amen We each walk the path, that we've chosen [Chorus] I'm ready to meet him We're I'm living ain't right Black hate whit White hate black It's right back To the same fight They got us suspecting a war But the real war is to follow the law of the lord Lord, you left me stranded And I don't know why Told me to live my life Now I'm ready to die Ready to fly I cry, but I shed no tears You told me you would dead those fears, it's been years Snakes still coming at me Just missing Sometimes I think all you doing me is just listen I thought that I was special Thats what you told me Hold me Stop acting like you don't know me What'd I do so bad that it sent you away from me Not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me (My child I'm here, as I've always been, it was you who went away, And now are back again, what did I say?) Follow your word, and be true (What did you do?) Well:what I wanted to do... (What have you seen?) Darkness and hell at a glance (What do you want?) All I want is another chance [Chorus] (Just because you went away, my doors are not locked, wanna come back home, all you gotta do is knock) Ya see, I left home a boy, I returned as a man Full grown, and I'm still not able to stand (I gave you a hand) Well...but I was looking the wrong way Figured out the plan, then I started to pray And that prayer, took me from here to over there Back to over here Now they got me like where? Do I belong? Do I fit in? Things on my mind, where do I begin? It's easier to sin, but it hurts my heart I'm really tryin' to win, so where do we start? (Thou shall not steal) But, what if he stole from me? (Thou shall not k**) But what if he's tryin' to k** me? (Thou shall not, take my, name in vain, no matter how hard it rains, withstand the pain) [Chorus] Our father, who art in heaven I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance, at 27 No longer afraid to knock on your door Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war After what I just saw, I'm ridin' with the lord Cause I really can't afford to lose my head by the sword And now that I've seen, what I need to see Please take me, where I need to be (What have you learned?) It's better to tell the truth than to lie (What have you learned?) To love my life until I die (What have you learned?) Violence isn't always the key (What have you learned?) You can't always believe what you see (What have you learned?) It's better to forgive and forget (What have you learned?) Give as you expect to get (What have you learned?) That I can't go on without you (What have you learned?) I must've been a fool to ever doubt you [Chorus] I'm ready to meet him
