[Chorus:] May the lord protect me as the world gets hectic My voice projected my life reflected Daddy was a crack fiend 2 in the morning had us running down the block like a track team [Verse 1:] When he burnt the house down and my mother was in it How could I forget it? The pain is infinite She's my queen and I ain't even British She's the only reason that I went to school and I finished She told me that I had talent Got on her knees and prayed for me when I started being violent She saw something in me that, 'til this day I don't know if I could be that But I'm a die trying and when I'm done crying Grab the iron And black out like I'm retiring Nightmares of you k**ing my mother The reason that I sleep with my head under the covers and should've thrown a book at you 'cause I hate you so much that it burn when I look at you [Chorus: x2] May the lord protect me as the world gets hectic my voice projected my life reflected [Verse 2:] Damn I wanna run to you Hold you and kiss you tell you how I miss you Thought I would have a son for you But now it's officially over and I can't let you go But I gotta let you know all the sh** I did make it feel like I'm dying real slow, 'cause no one understands me they don't know what to do when I'm hurt when I'm angry You was my friend and my man and my daddy, You was there when that b**h tried to stab me anything I ever needed knew you had me 'Cause of you all them chicks couldn't stand me So why I hurt you that's the question It took this long for me to learn my lesson 'Cause now all I want is peace and get drama I finally understand the true meaning of karma [Chorus: x2] May the lord protect me as the world gets hectic my voice projected my life reflected Please baby forgive me, mommy was young, mommy was to busy tryna have fun and now I don't pat myself on the back for sending you back 'cause god knows I was better than that to conceive then leave you the concept alone seems evil I'm trapped in my conscience I adhere to the nonsense listened to people who told me I wasn't ready for you But how the f** would they know what I was ready to do And of course it wasn't your fault It's like I feel it in the air, I hear you saying mommy don't cry can't you see I'm right here I gotta let you know what you mean to me when I'm sleeping I see you in my dreams with me wish I could touch your little face or just hold your little hand if it's part of gods plan, maybe we can meet again [Chorus: x2] May the lord protect me as the world gets hectic my voice projected my life reflected
