One night

When me and my mom was about to go to bed

All the doors was locked

Then when I had fell asleep

My mom had heard three gun shots

It was to my cousin, his name was Rod

The one that came to pick me up

He had been shot right through the face, right in the neck

And he got shot right in the stomach

[Chorus]

I put my hand to the sky, I sing

Grateful for the blessings you bring

Thank you for the ones I love

Forgive me for the times I was

Down and confused, I know

What I reap is what I will sow

Once again I find myself

Back with you from my hell

All I ever wanted was to hear them bitches holler back

Get some money plus respect and now look, I got all of that

All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side

All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry

All I wanna do is touch a platinum plaque and celebrate

All I wanna do is keep my niggas out the yellow tape

All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side

All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry

[Verse]

Right now I'm starin' out the window of my Range and contemplating, am I sane?

Have I sacrificed for fame?

My occupation's on my brain

Thought that I could change it all if I had change

But the niggas that I came up with way back is still the same

I be tryna give 'em game like Santa did when Christmas came

They be listenin' but it's clear to me they did not hear a thing

It go in one ear and out the other like a bullet out the muzzle of a pistol shot by brothers standin' point-blank range

Niggas bang in the Ville, I always thought that shit was strange

How you claim blood or cuz when that was just a LA thing?

I don't mean no disrespect towards your set, no, I'm just sayin'

That it seem like for acceptance niggas will do anything

Niggas will rep any gang, niggas will bust any head

Niggas will risk everything, point him out and then he dead

Shootin' up where his granny live, "blaow, blaow!", his granny duck

He don't give a fuck, he's on Henny and Xanny'd up

Blowin' Tammy up, bitch, when you gon' give them panties up?

He gon' plant a seed, but best believe he ain't man enough

Just because yo' dick can spray semen, it don't mean that you ready to let go of yo' childish ways

The results are deadly

Because that child will suffer and that's what can most affect me

The little girl I met this past summer said, "Don't forget me"

I won't forget you, how could I with all you went through?

A bullet hit yo' cousin in Temple while he was with you

And while you was talkin', I was tearin' up, where's the tissue?

If you was my sister then I would kiss you and tell you that I'm sorry for the pain you had to live through

I know I'm blessed because yo' stress is realer than anything I done been through

[Chorus]

I put my hand to the sky, I sing

Grateful for the blessings you bring

Thank you for the ones I love

Forgive me for the times I was

Down and confused, I know

What I reap is what I will sow

Once again I find myself

Back with you from my hell

All I ever wanted was to hear them bitches holler back

Get some money plus respect and now look, I got all of that

All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side

All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry

All I wanna do is touch a platinum plaque and celebrate

All I wanna do is keep my niggas out the yellow tape

All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side

All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry

[Outro]

It's not that big

Well at least, um

God had saved him 'cause he still alive

So why do y'all think that bad stuff happen?

Like why can't the world just be all nice things?

Because God is tryna, um

Warn-warn us or teach us a lesson that we need to learn

Or He's tryna warn us of He's comin' back to, um, see us and take us home and redo the world

He's comin' back to, um, have us be His children and for us to see Him for the first time so we can rejoice with Him and have our time

And after we do that, He's gonna restart the world

K.O.D

Choose wisely!
