Lyrics

[00:00.17] And we'll introduce you to the starting lineup
[00:02.73] We're gonna introduce now the North Clayton Eagles
[00:06.47] Coached by James Gwynn
[00:08.44] His starters, number 21, Tauheed Epps
[00:23.85] Yeah
[00:27.66] Prayer for our sins, I...
[00:31.28] Prayer for our souls, the...
[00:34.34] Tears that we're cryin'
[00:37.34] Let 'em all be forgiven
[00:43.85] Let it all be forgiven
[00:46.46] (When your dream, when your dream, dream, dream)
[00:50.77] Just let it all be forgiven
[00:52.23] When your dreams turn to nightmares
[00:54.13] Transactions turn to Nike Airs
[00:56.48] Went to Greenbriar Mall and bought five pairs
[00:59.08] I stayed in the Creek, junkies used to preach
[01:01.94] In the **** game, tryna reach my peak and go undefeated
[01:05.23] I pleaded with the judge, this my first offense
[01:08.17] High school b-ball, I'm tryna get a scholarship
[01:11.09] No ACC, SEC, ClayCo APD
[01:14.81] On a bumpy road like an ATV, EBT
[01:18.03] Used to give me peace
[01:19.28] I smile on the outside, inside discreet
[01:22.67] As far as the past, wish I could press delete
[01:25.67] Let my dogs off the leash
[01:27.21] Rather buy it than lease or get murdered in the streets, fine line
[01:31.11] Who can learn
[01:32.18] Pray for the children (I pray)
[01:35.39] I pray for our healing (I pray)
[01:38.32] I know you feel it (I know you feel it)
[01:41.63] Just let it all be forgiven (Lord forgive him, yeah)
[01:46.80] Just let it all be forgiven (Lord forgive him, yeah)
[01:54.07] Your sins, let 'em all be forgiven (Lord forgive him)
[01:58.02] Dead lies, that is how we livin'
[02:03.36] (Lord forgive him, that is how we livin', yeah)
[02:07.23] Just let it all be forgiven
[02:09.30] Got a phone call from Lil' Fate
[02:11.11] Somebody shot his son, he didn't make it
[02:13.52] My head achin', hands started shakin'
[02:16.07] Foul beyond flagrant
[02:17.48] He said, "Bro, what I'm supposed to do?"
[02:19.88] I paused, remorseful
[02:21.42] We been partners since public school
[02:23.14] Kids ain't supposed to die before us
[02:25.55] As a parent, it's apparent, ain't no parents
[02:28.66] Seeing stops once we leave the carriage
[02:31.10] Cold of the streets react with the heat to create balance
[02:34.64] One of the biggest revenge is prayer
[02:36.68] Me, Sean, Dre, and Chris was there
[02:39.10] Guess Flesh won't spend Christmas there
[02:41.45] But in spirit, know you hearin' it loud and clear
[02:44.73] Whole family miss you as we stare off in the atmosphere
[02:48.01] No fear
[02:49.17] Prayer for our sins, I...
[02:51.60] Prayer for our souls, the...
[02:54.97] Tears that you're cryin'
[02:58.12] Just let 'em all be forgiven (Lord forgive him)
[03:02.48] Let 'em all be forgiven (Lord forgive him)
[03:09.58] Just let 'em all be forgiven (Lord forgive him)
[03:16.03] Your sins let 'em all be forgiven (Lord forgive him)
[03:24.27] Hey, I don't know need to hear this
[03:28.65] Dead lies, that is how you livin'
[03:33.12] But if you're doin' somethin' to make...
[03:36.59] Just let 'em all be forgiven
[03:39.24] If you're doin' somethin' to make your parents have to bury you
[03:43.42] You may want to slow down
[03:46.09] Everything got a consequence, whether good or bad
[03:49.65] Rest in Peace Shaylin
[03:52.00] Bigg, I love you, bruh
[03:53.99] You know what I'm sayin'?
[03:57.31] My other partner lost his son too, right before the 18th birthday
[04:01.58] We out here ********, for what?
[04:08.35] Pray for my soul
[04:11.15] You don't get another life
[04:13.43] This ain't no practice life
[04:15.18] Pray for my sins
[04:18.34] These tears that I'm crying, let them all be forgiven
[04:28.49] Let them all be forgiven
[04:34.61] That's it, that's it
[04:39.28] In all his majesty and might, his brilliance and his beauty
[04:44.48] His black and his blue
[04:47.15] "Boy," still slips from their lips when they address him
[04:50.58] Still linger in the velvet of his dreams, the scene unseen
[04:54.22] Black boy fightin' for manhood in a world
[04:57.01] That still sees through Jim Crow lens
[04:59.41] Oh, them love him in his place
[05:01.51] Separate, away, torn, disconnected, passive, submissive, and shufflin'
[05:10.50] Oh, now just turn that shufflin' into dancin'
[05:12.96] 'Cause you know them love black boys dancin'
[05:15.26] And singin' and ballin'
[05:17.17] You know them love black boys' strength
[05:19.23] But don't love black boys
[05:20.60] Let me see your hands
