[Intro: Irv Da Phenom]
Dear god, I'm praying that you bless my
'Cause it's like a war zone in this life [?]
Ain't living right, [?]
Let us grow old before [?]
[Verse 1: Irv Da Phenom]
Feel like everybody round me dying
Everybody round me drying they eyes from tears they just cried
I'm at another funeral, I know you call the shots
Lord, but why my life has [?] become the usual
Keep losing friends and family
And now my mind, I think I'm finna lose that too
And though all my niggas be out here living the street life
Posted on the block, and be hustling under the street lights
Help us beat the odds, and see what 25 be like
Please
At least make it to 23
Every time I turn around, somebody getting shot or stabbed
I pray for your protection, you can keep my section off a slabs
And out the cop cars
Help us to see the light
Real niggas ain't afraid of death, but we prefer to be alive
Be here to provide
Be here to inspire
But that's only if you bless us with [?]
[Chorus: Irv Da Phenom]
Dear god, I'm praying that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go, I pray that you go with us
No, we ain't living right, but god, you know we trying
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?
Dear god, I'm praying that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go, I pray that you go with us
No, we ain't living right, but god, you know we trying
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?
[Verse 2: Irv Da Phenom]
2005 still got me shook, that's why I don't close the peephole
[?] think they'll be there, but never know when they could leave you
I almost [?] without any friends
[?] pick up a coffin again
I'm all alone now
Still be wanting the call, I know you won't pick up the phone
Still ain't [?] but can't except the fact you're gone
And I sware that it hurt me so bab
Every time I look at pictures, Reminisce on the past
A smile on your face, every time I was with you
Riding if it's an issue, but never beefing with niggas
Member when we got jumped, you was next to me sleeping, nigga?
And I go through it over again, just to be with you
To have you by my side, whole team united
Inc smearing off the page, crying while I write this
Still [?] I'ma see you in heaven
While you rep it up there, we'll hold it down on 27
[Chorus: Irv Da Phenom]
Dear god, I'm praying that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go, I pray that you go with us
No, we ain't living right, but god, you know we trying
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?
Dear god, I'm praying that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go, I pray that you go with us
No, we ain't living right, but god, you know we trying
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?
[Verse 3: Big Scoob]
It's like I'm still here, but I don't know why
Thinking back on my [?], and I'm trying not to cry
I been fighting many years, and the hood's my pride
But I'm tryna switch gears, tryna save a few lives
I'm a rider, and I rode, and I still will ride
I'm a villain til I die, nigga, 56 high
But the pain's getting stronger, mental flicks last longer
And I'm still a gutter soldier, but your boy's getting older
I been singing the same song, for so many years
I done heard about a better way, show me what it is
Show me how to live, show me where it is
I was raised in this [?] show it to me then
Til then, I'ma travel down the path that was given
Can't win, still can [?] while I'm living
All in, til I meet my faith [?]
Even then, this gutter living still gon' continue
[Chorus: Irv Da Phenom]
Dear god, I'm praying that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go, I pray that you go with us
No, we ain't living right, but god, you know we trying
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?
Dear god, I'm praying that you bless my niggas
Wherever we go, I pray that you go with us
No, we ain't living right, but god, you know we trying
Won't you let us grow old before you take our lives?
