Z-ro - Ooh Wee lyrics

[Z-Ro] Lord, have mercy, mercy Lord have mercy, mercy [Chorus: Z-Ro] Ooh wee, dear lord I don't want that to be me Another black boy in the penitentiary So many fall victim to these evil streets And it just makes me say ooh wee [Lil' O] Even though life is hard I walk through the thunderstorm knowing there's a god And when trouble comes he'll be my shield and my sword strike down my foes But I feel sorry for the ones that don't have god and don't know Inhale the weed through my mouth, exhale out my nose I've seen many n***as fell chasing money and clothes Look in the game, cause the block feeds us Chasing blood money, that's why we block bleeders We grew up hating the police cause the cops beat us And now we grown full of hate and we got heaters And what a wicked combination, cause now a n***a out of control And we ain't trying to hear sh**, about we on the wrong road We always got to catch a case, and the jail cell close For a n***a just like us, got to fill us with holes And ain't it cold, cause we suppose to stick to the trend Even though the trend is dying or ending up in the penn but [Chorus] Ooh wee, dear lord I don't want that to be me Another black boy in the penitentiary So many fall victim to these evil streets And it just makes me say Ooh wee dear lord I don't want that to be me Another black boy in the ground six feet deep So many fall victim to these evil streets And it just makes me say ooh wee [Lil' O] You tell me how you take the pain out When you hear your partner just blew his brians out You see the pressure of these streets it make you crazy And everybody say they love you huh, but everybody shady And all the youngsters got babies with mouths to feed But all the youngsters dropped out they ain't got no degree Cause these youngsters chasing cars and material things But all the youngsters ain't thinking about the pain it could bring I lost soul on the block, I will walk the streets Going so hard on my grind, I forgot to eat I can't forget the day my partner got knocked off his feet By a dopefiend with a gauge trying to rob him for cheese I saw the fear in his eyes, he knew he'd been shot and his leg was paralyzed They had to amputate his legs that's when I realized how raw could be And living life in these streets cause it wasn't for me, cause [Chorus] [Lil' O] Dear father up in heaven have mercy on us Protect us from these evil streets that be murdering us Protect us from these crooked cops that put burden on us Protect us from these heartless D.A's that put hurting on us Protect us from ourselves, some of us don't know no better Thinking that a life of crime the only way to get cheddar Protet us from our jealousy and our lust for power Knowing the devil walk the street seeking room to devour I ain't really got no friends Cause all my real dogs are in the grave or in the pen They left when they was boys, I won't see them till they men And then my little partner man he just signed for ten Where does the drama end I put money on they books to try to ease they pain Praying to the lord hoping they find peace again And I give thanks for my life knowing so meet they end I'ma survive, stay alive and keep my a** out the penn cause [Chorus] [Z-Ro] I don't want to end up in jail I don't want to end up in the penn I don't want to end up in the ground I don't want to end up like my friends - 2x I don't want that to be me - 8x
