Lyrics

[00:02.684] Dear Lord
[00:06.218] I know you don't condone the things I be doin out here in these streets
[00:10.935] (Help me, Lord) And I hope that, I pray that You can overlook
[00:16.876] (Help me, Lord) the wrong that I had done in my life...
[00:22.032] I don't know no other way to survive out here
[00:24.690] (Wrap your arms around me, Lord) I got a whole bunch of people dependin on me...
[00:30.444] Just walk with me...
[00:35.252] Walk with me...
[00:37.135] Busslin and gamblin, hit licks scramblin
[00:40.463] Bricks I'm out here handlin, I'm pimpin and I'm payin the rent
[00:43.734] Didn't choose this dirty game, this dirty game it chose me
[00:46.978] Every city love cocaine, they'll get it from him if they don't get it from me
[00:50.028] So I get cross-country wit that thang, makin that crisp, lettin 'em hang
[00:53.672] Bangin that 'Pac, if I die tonight, least mama know I didn't die in vain
[00:56.710] Cause I put up sum from every sale, so all my chil'ren can live well
[00:59.983] Might go to heaven, might go to hell, but just put me in wood grain lane Deville
[01:03.393] I wonder sometime how life would be, if it was no such thing as D
[01:06.839] But then I put that Sweet down, cause that bullshit don't apply to me
[01:09.998] Cause out here on the real streets, a dreamer always stay sleep
[01:13.257] Cause out here the strong survive, and now they didn't die from thankin weak
[01:16.418] Gotta play for keeps, gotta play it hard, still tryna get right with god
[01:20.076] Still read my bible lone, cause reverend do wrong, still livin fraud
[01:23.008] Tonight if I get down on my knees and ask the lord to forgive me, please
[01:26.602] You think he gon' hear me? Cause tomorrow I'm still gon be slangin keys... (Ohhhh Lorrrrd...)
[01:31.292] Lord, I'm just a G (Lord, I'm just a G)
[01:34.564] Out here livin fast (livin fast)
[01:37.721] How long can it last? (I don't know, I don't know)
[01:40.697] I just can't give it up (But I'm prayin to your love right now)
[01:43.870] I'm riskin all out in the streets (I'll give it all up for your love right now)
[01:47.736] Out here livin fast (livin too fast)
[01:50.853] How long can it last? (How long, how long, how long, will it last, baby?)
[01:55.421] See I was born in the ghetto manye I was raised in the hood
[01:58.685] And unless you lived it yourself, it just can't be understood
[02:01.961] People think hustlin is cool (cool), all hustlin is live
[02:05.313] They don't understand hustlers only hustlin to survive
[02:08.550] They wished they lived in the 'burbs ('burbs), wished they didn't have to hang (hang)
[02:11.879] Out on corners in low-income house in projects and slang
[02:15.325] They wish their daddy was home (home), mama wasn't on drugs (drugs)
[02:18.373] And they didn't have to grow up to be dealers and thugs (thugs)
[02:22.019] Po' children got aspirations and dreams just like the wealthy (wealthy)
[02:25.285] But it's hard when that environment you live in ain't healthy (healthy)
[02:28.571] You ain't givin no hope (hope), nobody showin you pride (pride)
[02:31.753] And you live with all this anger and frustration inside (side)
[02:35.003] Dog, don't let nobody tell you what you can or you can't do
[02:38.501] Just cause they funky ass couldn't do it - (Why?) They ain't you
[02:41.768] You can be who you wanna be (uh), live life how you feel
[02:44.786] Just put your faith in the lord (yep), now that's keepin it trill, fo' real! (Oh Lord...)
[02:48.445] (Oh Lord...)
[02:50.355] Lord, I'm just a G (Just a G)
