|
I'm just bein' real, you know |
|
I'm like the sun, I'm tryin' to shine on everybody |
|
You know what I'm sayin' |
|
But it's like situation after situation, you know |
|
So I write about it to get it off my chest, you heard |
|
|
|
Dear mama, you wouldn't believe what I'm goin' through |
|
But still I got my head up just like I promised you |
|
Every since you left, your baby boy's been dealin' with |
|
Problem after problem, tell me what am I supposed to do |
|
See, I get lost sometimes, don't understand this place |
|
Look in the mirror sometimes and see a troubled face |
|
And then my tears roll down and hit the sink, Then I |
|
Hold my head up high, hoping the Man upstairs can hear my cry |
|
All these questions deep inside my mind |
|
Like if Jesus loved me, why he leave my side |
|
Mama, I'm still tryin' to get the answer why |
|
You were young, 45, and you had to die |
|
I'm always tryin' to help people out |
|
And it's them same people tryin' to take food out my mouth |
|
|
|
(Fo' real tho') Seems like the more money I make |
|
(Fo' real tho') The more drama y'all try to create |
|
(Fo' real tho') And through I try to move into the positive |
|
(Fo' real tho') The more y'all don't wanna let me live |
|
|
|
When will you realize that I don't owe you nothin' |
|
Need to get up off your butt and go get your own somethin' |
|
I'm pullin' on my hair to keep from snappin' off |
|
Fools ride up in my camp and be yappin' off |
|
Somebody out there please pray on what I'm talkin' 'bout |
|
Still young tryin' to figure it out |
|
|
|
Heaven, I need a hug |
|
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug |
|
Feelin' like a change of heart |
|
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God |
|
So shower down on me, wet me with your love |
|
I need you to take me and lift me up, oh, yeah |
|
|
|
I gave 13 years of my life to this industry |
|
Hit song or not, I've given all of me |
|
You smile in my face and tell me that you love |
|
But then before you know the truth, you're so quick to judge me |
|
That's alright, go ahead, keep talkin' |
|
Cause I'mma hold my head up high and keep walkin' |
|
And reach for the sky, focus on the plan |
|
Rescue the ghetto with this paper a pen |
|
And this is for the homies that we lost |
|
Yo', we cannot forget y'all, so the hats come off |
|
Pour a little liquor out for the memory |
|
I know y'all up there sittin' on chrome in them pearly streets |
|
Street survivors, be careful, stay alive |
|
I'm prayin' for your families, I hope you pray for mine |
|
|
|
(Fo' real tho') Used to be a time you wished me well |
|
(Fo' real tho') It hurts to know you wanna see me fail |
|
(Fo' real tho') And don't forget I kept you out of |
|
jail |
|
(Fo' real tho') Was my arms when you needed to be held |
|
|
|
They turn they backs on you, who was there believin' |
|
Who said your troubles were only for a season |
|
In church together tryin' to pick up all the pieces |
|
And now you betray me, I bind you in the name of Jesus |
|
Somebody please pray on what I'm talkin' 'bout |
|
Still young tryin' to figure it all out |
|
|
|
Heaven, I need a hug |
|
Is there anybody out there willin' to embrace a thug |
|
Feelin' like a change of heart |
|
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God |
|
(Please shower down) |
|
So shower down on me, wet me with your love (Yeah) |
|
I need you to take me and lift me up (Oh...oh...yeah, yeah, yeah) |
|
|
|
Man, I tell you it's enough to make you wanna give it up |
|
Thank God for my fans 'cause through it all they showed love |
|
To my sister and two brothers |
|
Tell me why can't we just try to get along with one another |
|
Instead of hurtin' one another, fightin' one another |
|
Man, I pray to God He'd get my family back together |
|
Let me see what I wanna see, just to blind me |
|
All of these luxuries, wine and dining |
|
And then You push me out in front to get behind me |
|
Then You set me up by blessin' me to bind me |
|
I'm a grown man with kids now, stakes are higher |
|
Gotta go to church now to avoid the fire |
|
Frankly, y'all to keep it real, I'm just tired |
|
Dreams of bein' dead, but the devil is alive |
|
|
|
(Fo' real tho') Church folks, you need to stop judgin' |
|
(Fo' real tho') Cause you will be the first to be judged |
|
(Fo' real tho') And women stop dependin' on us men |
|
(Fo' real tho') And start dependin' on the Man above, feel me |
|
|
|
And as for robert, here's what I need to do |
|
Get rid of them clowns and get myself a whole nother crew |
|
Media, do your job |
|
But please just don't make my job so hard |
|
Somebody please pray on what I'm talkin' 'bout |
|
I'm still young tryin' to figure it all out |
|
|
|
Heaven, I need a hug |
|

|
Feelin' like a change of heart |
|
And all I really need is a sign or a word from God |
|
So shower down on me (Shower down on me now), wet me with your love |
|
