[Intro]
I just wanna, talk to you god
I'm lost out here and
I just want, I want you to see how it's like in my shoes
In our shoes, I wanna know what would you do
[Verse 1]
Dear god, what if heaven was the inner city
The only way to survive, if andrew show no pity
Got the profile, every black angel in the city
And they beat a few wings off sometimes, but no biggy
The gates of heaven are broken, angels drinking and angels smoking
Baby angels ain't even got wings and they snoting
Quiet parts of heaven turn chaos
The one you love the most become haters
What would you say god?
Crucify, lord nobody got hope
But your uncle, he the man, he supply the whole dope
All you gotta do is call him, he will get you a deal
And off that deal you can cook a hot meal
For your little sister man, cause you know she only 6
And your mama left you stranded, now you in charge of this
Yes, seem kinda odd, but I just wanna know
What would you do god?
[Hook]
Dear god, dear god, couple things that I gotta know
Is heaven guaranteed when you growing up broke
Yo, we only living in this hell, look at these scales that we in
Look at this all black tails, and they all black males
And the small ack sale, cause they tryina get out the ghetto
Off the crack sales
Dear god, dear god, couple things that I gotta know
Is heaven guaranteed when you growing up broke
[Verse 2]
God, but if your mama smoke rocks
God, what if your daddy shot hot
God, what if your granny was a nut
3 strikes, strike your brother out
Now he lock, your little sister a bop
Your cous got hit with a chop
Your phony friend he a cop, he snitched on the whole spot
You're raised upon the block, with a little, not a lot
13 on your own, gotta give it all you got
God, I'm out here stressin, while you praying for a blessing
But you hungry, so hungry, you can't feel your intestins
Preacher say, pray on it and it get better
Only thing on your mind is how you fin to get cedar
Would you rob, god? Would you steal?
Would you lie god, would you k**?
Just wanna know because I'm really tryina figure that
Cause everyday I just strive, god that's where we livin at
[Hook]
Dear god, dear god, couple things that I gotta know
Is heaven guaranteed when you growing up broke
Yo, we only living in this hell, look at these scales that we in
Look at this all black tails, and they all black males
And the small pack sale, cause they tryina get out the ghetto
Off the crack sales
Dear god, dear god, couple things that I gotta know
Is heaven guaranteed when you growing up broke
[Verse 3]
God, what if your daddy died from aids
And your mama got cancer, she could die any day
And your daughter growing fast, and your baby mama trippin
Best friend got life, never fall say quittin
Your career had to stand still, but you still spittin
Everybody around you either mobbin or they pimpin
Rent due, day later, day away from any ...
Granny sit and you can't even abord up a scripture
Heaven depending on you, you can't let him down
But it's evil angels that want you dead up in your town
They say that heaven would, cause you don't come around
Heaven would, it's hollywood, same difference, different sound
I'm lost god, I need it too
I'm asking god, I really need you
God, what would you do?
Cause everything I ask you is what I'm going through
[Hook]
Dear god, dear god, couple things that I gotta know
Is heaven guaranteed when you growing up broke
Yo, we only living in this hell, look at these scales that we in
Look at this all black tails, and they all black males
And the small pack sale, cause they tryina get out the ghetto
Off the crack sales
Dear god, dear god, couple things that I gotta know
Is heaven guaranteed when you growing up broke
