Donny Goines - Psalm 51:5 lyrics
[Verse 1] Caught between Plymouth rock and a hard place God bless America, our faith Where young boys idolize Scarface And Heaven is a place so far away, God's grace If you're listenin', pray for me The devil don't take another day from me And Jesus make another way for me I don't wanna burn in Hell just to make money Here's my confession Three Hail Mary's, gotta thank the reverend Cut my losses, count my blessings Hopin' I can walk through the gates of Heaven [Hook] Standin' on the front lines, livin' on the dark side, walk with me I'm a born sinner Tryna stop the riot within but everybody want a war with me I'm a born sinner Hope ya praying for me, yes lord hope ya praying for me I'm a born sinner Hate who I am, a born sinner, born sinner [Verse 2] This for Mike Brown, Sean Bell Every brother trapped in a dark cell Born sinner, our hell Coulda been just another Bronx tale Ya'll don't know my story, real talk Crack babies, stillborns Most wanted pictures, billboard This the life that you free men k** for In blood we baptize Slow d**h, fast life Huey P, Black Pride Sins of our father ask why Hand on the Bible, other on an all black rifle Prayin' for my soul and survival It's the life we live So I'm nailed on the cross next to Christ for sin [Hook] [Verse 3] From the grave to the cradle, livin' backwards so hateful k**in' our brothers Cane, Abel Hungry kids at the table Cops at the door it can break you, struggled but I'm grateful That boy's a man now Own two, I stand proud The Devil gave me handouts This nightmare's my whereabouts I rebuke Satan, in the name of Christ, King David Know I'm God's favorite So every night I praise him Remember the love just so I forget the hatred And Lord knows I ain't perfect Still dancin' with the serpent Taxes, d**h certain But the pain gave me purpose [Hook] [Outro: Kerry Washington] If everyone is evil, if the deck is always stacked, if everyone I love is a monster, if no one is worth saving, what's the point? I'm asking you, I'm actually asking you, what is the point? Art collection by GREATeclectic
