Reef The Lost Cauze - Forgive Me, Lord lyrics

[Intro] Dear Lord. Gotta feed the block, gotta gotta feed the block [Verse 1] And I know He watching over me I know He knows I robbed them n***as that was owing me And He know I had a ho or three blowing me While my ex girl was on the phone with me I hope He understands I hope He can see that I ain't perfect, I'm just a man But that excuse is cold fate And I know it won't get me past them gold gates Man I stole destiny and sold faith Man I stole weaponry and sold eights No h*mo but it's hard to go straight When you've been living crooked since your birth date I ain't ask to be here in the first place I ain't know my man would snitch after that case Little Moogie Still behind the stone gate A brick wall But that was his own fate I feel guilty like I ain't help enough But I did all I could do that's what I tell myself Temptation too great, it's like I can't help myself I know the limit but it's like I gotta test myself Go back to that? I refuse to let myself When you ain't got cash it's hard to check yourself Just because I don't rap about that life It don't mean I don't know about that life Only thing that save me was that mic When push come to shove I push that white Or I grab that mask and grab that purse But I hear my n***as that pa** saying "You gon' end up in a hearse" [Hook] {x4} "Forgive me Lord I know I ain't living right Gotta feed the block, gotta gotta feed the block" [Verse 2] I gotta feed the block, my n***as need saving Look at me and be like, "Reef you made it." They never been to Paris, never been to Vegas Some ain't been past the hood they was raised in They feel trapped, yeah they feel caged in But through rap, I take them Even if they ain't got no plane ticket They feel hope cause they know that they brother is the main ticket On warm days, I visit, we sit and kick it Geeking out at the pictures of the b**hes All of that crowd looking sickening Jumping all crazy, repeating every word that I mention Then they stand at attention, I can't believe it I say, "If you see it then you can be it." You ain't got to rob, sell dope or go cheat a n***a Hope and power that's how I feed my n***as [Hook]
