ILLjohn - Give Me An Answer lyrics

[Intro] Just give me an answer I just pray that i get casted Drop it Yall don't even understand man Took a lot to get here, Go Shoutout to Schoolboy Q Need Him in my life put him in my life Need Him in my life Need Him in my life put him in my life Need Him in my life [Verse 1] How do you work? Please explain I turn my back against your will And then you heal my pain Still I stray and still you stay and still I pray You bless me, then I skate Then it's back to the same old thing Get me out this place before it's too late Been through so much in these eighteen years They tell me it's just the beginning Of the hurt, the tears, the trials, and all of the sinning Lord you're my witness, help me depict this vision That I've been sentenced to live And help me to change the things that keep me away I promise I'm willing to listen, this is me venting This is me, not asking for friends, not asking for wealth Not following trends, just meeting the ends So I can begin to live for myself And understand the things that my life just can't clutch Like you and your ways, or am I asking for too much [Hook] Just give me an answer Please Just give me and answer Please [Verse 2] Mama Pearl I know you're happy, finally at rest Backbone of the family Always tried your best to help someone that needed it Even when they asked to frequently They couldn't see that then you were God's gift to them And repeatedly though it was limited You gave your time, wrote those checks And I know in my mind that you don't regret it Now I listen to my voicemail and hear all your messages Saying "call me back" and I do, but you ain't answerin [Hook] [Verse 3] From my heart, to my pad, through my pen, to your ears Thinking back on the years when my pen was my only friend And the loneliness had me in tears Soaking tissues feeling like I wasn't worth a nickel Dealing with all these freaking issues Not knowing what I had stored between my temples I had statements to be quoted, points to be made They hate me cuz' they know that Imma be the one to bring their city fame Imma be the one to make it in the end Imma be the one to change the nation Then Imma be the one to motivate the men And that's nothing but the truth, Amen The only question is when Just give me an answer When? Just give me an answer [Outro] Your message from Mama Pearl Sent Monday September 6 2010 at 11:19 AM Eastern Time Hi JT, How are you doing?
