Dre Knowss - Dead Letter lyrics

[Verse 1: Eshon Burgundy] Yo, I dare a man tell me there's no God I dare a man tell me it's all lies Where was you at when we was riding through the trap with a trunk full of crack going against all odds Was you around when they gunned me down? And life pa**ed before my eyes. Nah You're around as I write this down Now pay attention as the dead let us rise Rise dead letters My life story I thought it wasn't nothing better than shining with j**elry, riding in vehicles with the leather I knew the sky had a Heaven on the inside of it, but I felt like the world was more special In love with the control and the pleasure Almost sold my soul for the treasure All the love I have for hell is now minimized Cause I no longer stroll with the devil Back then I was fascinated with trapping, but knew it canceled out the maturation of black men I flirted with it, I even got dirty with it Wasn't in it all the way, but half way like thirty minutes Ya know, I was behaving like I'm lost Still had a pa**ion for the cross Deep inside I knew I had to choose sides So the next morning I was up [Hook] Praying to God I'm praying to God (4x) Deep in the water (3x) But I'm set free Deep in the water (3x) Lord would you bless me [Verse 2] Yo, when I read the words of His scriptures I depend on the spirits to give me pictures Paint a clear one for me my Lord, Paint a clear one for me my Lord I need a vision Being frequently blinded by this system Gotta remind myself that I'm not in a prison These bars a hologram I'm a mirage I won't let jeopardize my position Feeling like a prophet in a poet Uh, and a s**er at the same time Cause I stand firm on the word when I burn with the urge, but I struggle at the same time Acting like a schizo Stumble with the big dogs then I want to tiptoe I can't tolerate a diss though Wanna stand firm but I know I got to get low I ain't gon' trip though Gotta maintain when I wanna let a clip go That's so sick though Cause I want you to forgive everything I ever did But I refuse to do the same People cross me, I cross them I can't even remember they name All of sudden I forget about my sinning ways Acting like I never had committed the same mistakes I'm so fake [Hook] Deep in the water (3x) But I'm set free Deep in the water (3x) Lord would you bless me Dead to my sin Alive in the flesh Life in my pen A drum in my chest Heart of conviction Grateful and blessed Fully forgiven Tasting regret Lord please save this dead letter
