[Verse 1] Here's all I wanna say What in the world does it take to put that gun up to your face, and pull the trigger that way? And not even leave a note No goodbye, no verse Like a man without a name Like a man who's cursed Look, my greatest moment wasn't given to me I take the pain, it ain't nothing but a thang to me And best believe that I match it with rhymes of reaction So I can resurrect you every time I speak Yeah there was a time when you and I were in the same place But I went at it full blast, put on my game face This didn't happen for nothin I'm gonna raise hell It turned a negative positive, a common phase Well thanks for puttin me on track with that derail I hear your spirit calling like the ocean and sea shells Enough time spent wondering why God bless the rhythm in the thundering sky [Hook] I'm hot with god if I see him soon I rock the garden till the beat's in bloom I got problems too but I [wrote/rode] on through Maybe I can do what you couldn't do I go hard for heart with the tried and true I'll starve and start and I will not lose My worst moment couldn't dig my grave So I'm gonna make this one my greatest [Verse 2] I got a friend who can't get right Putting that powder up his nose By the gram each and every night Ain't got a care in the world though even as a youngster Parents just let him do whatever that he wants to Robbin and jackin the elderly While he tellin' me "Boy, I ain't worried bout a felony" Government cheese, or deadly disease I'm quick at the knees, ain't nobody ever gonna catch me But that was back in '97 He never went to jail, but he made his way to heaven Wish he coulda changed Wasn't nothin I could tell em Bullsh** I couldn't sell him God'll take you if you let him Needle to the arm, belly to the floor More money, more problems knockin at his front door Naw this is not a game, this is real hardcore Couldn't take it anymore, take it anymore [Hook] [Verse 3] This is the moment my blood's flowing I can feel it in my veins like I've been chosen Never broken, you can't break me, I won't fold Something's trying to swallow me up, I won't go Don't need an omen, my mind is my own Don't need no reason, I'm taking control Enough time spent just wondering why God bless the rhythm in the thundering sky [Hook]
