[Verse 1] How you think things is gonna ever change? If you keep doing the same old things You ask the Lord for help But you won't help yourself Now you sitting there with your worries and cares Talkin about God won't answer your prayers You got that feeling He let you down You tried to swim and he let you drown But that's not ever the case, you looked the solution dead in the face Did a u-turn and headed your way, and now you say that religion is fake But if you search your mind, I guarantee you'll find When you was in a bind, the Lord was there like every time But you ignored the signs wanting sombody to blame But let's be real you got free will And God ain't gone come out the sky and make you change But when you make the same mistakes over and over And you get older and older, when the game over its over You can't say nobody told ya, when you sleep in the grave And I hope you heed the words that I say, heed the words that I say [Verse 2] How long you think you gone really roll? How long before they kick down your door? Throw you and your kids on the floor Tearing up your crib and they lookin for dope Found one brick and they lookin for more And now your goose is cookin for sure How many times you done heard it said? That you gone wind up in jail or dead? Not you 'cause you just too smart Got alot of brains and too much heart Besides you not in the game for life You can stop just as soon as you start right? But one year turns to 2, and 2 years turn to 4, and 4 years turn to 8 Now you can' stop its just too late Now you await your fate, wondering how its gone came Is it gonna be your local PD, theDEA or a young a**a**in's gun? Now you ain't havin fun, stuck up in your house and Lookin out the window with a pistol like Malcolm Thinking somebodys coming to get your thousands But if I was in your shoes I'd drop to my knees and pray And ask the Lord to show me another way, man heed the words that I say
