AN HOURGLASS IN DEATH’S MAUSOLEUM

[Intro]
Is it like the Hand of God?

[Chorus: MONGO]
It takes a hand, fo' a man to be a man
Eyes to the sky, knees in the sand
So many thangs that you cannot understand
We the hand, put yo' hand up in my hand
We the hand, put yo' hand up in my hand
It takes a hand, fo' a man to be a man
Eyes to the sky, knees in the sand
We the hand, put yo' hand up in my hand

[Verse 1: GONDA]
Put yo' hand, in mine, I won't leave you behind
The sand fall, one by one, you can't stop the time (uh huh, uh huh)
A-A-An hourglass in Death's mausoleum
A-A child acts wild, so his father see him (Yeah)
A father sees you, every second of the day
And there ain't no way, you can go astray (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh)
G-God made you perfect, in every way
Never listen to what Lucy gotta say (uh huh, uh huh)
P-Put your hand, in my hands, so we can pray (uh huh, uh huh)
H-Hold your chin up, keep your back straight (uh huh, uh huh)
S-S-Smile at the Devil, never be afraid (uh huh, uh huh)
L-Life ain't black and white, everything is gray (uh huh, uh huh)
P-Put your hand in my hands so we can pray (So we can pray)
Hold your chin up, keep your back straight (Your back straight)
S-Smile at the Devil, never be afraid (Be afraid)
L-Life ain't black and white, everything is gray (Thing is gray)

[Verse 2: MONGO]
Put your hand, in my hand, we saying grace
Th-thank you, Lord, up in heaven, fo' this steak up on my plate
Thank you God, thank you God, fo' the love inside my brain
Try my best, to remind, every time I'm filled with hate
Try my best, to remind
A soul can't be defined, but refined
The Hand of God, till the end of time (uh huh, uh huh)
Can't rewind, your mistakes, only decide (uh huh, uh huh)
What's yet to come, you beholdin' to yo' eye
Screwed up, like it was lost, forced to watch
Torn apart and chewed up, can't let a deadbeat
Get into my head, who would?
I said, fuck all that mess, lil' MONGO fucked around, and grew up
(And found God)
Because I knew that I would
And I could, so fuck what anybody tell me I should do (I should do)
P-P-P-Pick yourself up, you gotta push through (Gotta push through)
Pick yo' battles homie, watch who you bein' good to
I-I-I know you know that

[Chorus: MONGO]
It takes a hand, fo' a man to be a man
Eyes to the sky, knees in the sand
So many thangs, that you cannot understand
We the hand, put yo' hand up in my hand

[Outro]
We the hand, put yo' hand up in my hand (uh huh, uh huh)
It takes a hand, fo' a man to be a man (uh huh, uh huh)
Eyes to the sky, knees in the sand (uh huh, uh huh)
We the hand, put yo' hand up in my hand (uh huh, uh huh)
Is it like the Hand of God?
