Dame Grease - The Convo lyrics

[Verse 1] You tell me that there's love here, but, to me, it's blatant That with all the blood here, I'm dealing with Satan Plus with all the hating, it's hard to keep peace (uh huh) Thou shall not steal, but I will to eat I tried doing good, but good's not too good for me Misunderstood, why you chose the hood for me Me? I'm aight; I just had to work hard at it Went to grandma for the answer and she told me that God had it So now here I am, confused and full of questions Am I born to lose or is this just a lesson? And who is going choose when it gets turned around And will it be laying in my own blood and on the ground? My child I've watched you grow up and I've been there Even at those times you least suspected it, I was there And look at what I've given you a talent to rhyme I may not come when you call, but I'm always on time [Hook x2] Somebody's knocking Should I let em in Lord we're just starting But where will it end [Verse 2] But when the funds are low, the guns'll blow Looking for that one that owe, make 'em run that dough No! Put down the guns and write a new rhyme You'll get it all in due time, you'll do fine, just have faith cause you mine And when you shine, it's gon' be a sight to behold So don't fight to be old or lose sight when it's cold See that light down the road? It's going to guide you there Two sets of footprints; I was right beside you there But what about them times I only saw one? Those were the times when I was under the gun It was then I carried you my son Led you to safety It just wasn't your time to face me (uh huh) Ayo a few of them times I thought you would erase me But all you did was embrace me, prepared me for the worst Offered me eternal life and scared me with the hearse And the curse turned to grace when the hurt turned to faith No more running or sliding in the dirt cause I'm safe [Hook] [Verse 3] So if I'm your man, I'm in your hands, what's your plan Never had a friend cause you couldn't trust your man Learned to stand before I crawled, things were twisted And if you showed me anything at all, then I missed it Looked the wrong way, I've done some wrong things Kept a bad attitude, but that's what wrong brings And now you mean to tell me that, after all this time It was you that kept the dog from going out of my mind? It was you that breathed life into my lungs when I was born? And it was you that let me know what was right from what was wrong? And it was you that let me do, what I knew what could be done? And it was you that gave me a good wife and a beautiful son? And it's been you speaking to me inside my mind? And it's been you who has forgiven time after time? It was you who opened my eyes so I could see? And it was you that shined your light on me?
