Open the Gates

I be sitting in my room and I'm all alone
See I be waiting for a text message or a call to my phone
Won't be pulling out the Bible when I pray
When I'm feeling holy, no body is on my side
I think I am lonely

Ex girls, their wating me, see how i am living
I know God's watching me and he's forgiven
Yes, Lord, I need you here to take away my fear
Wash away all my sins, I know I have this year

I come to you in time of need
I come to you when I'm in trouble
I come to you, I beg and plead
I come to you to make my money double

I need your hand on, I need your guidance light
Need angels to land on me and make everything all right
Open up the gate, let me see my grandma
I don't wanna wait away, I need some answers

Going through these trials, messing with these tribulations
I'm in denial, what are they insinuating?
Nicotine overdose
Alcohol is overflown
The pain in my right lung, tumor is overgrown

Mom thinks it's cancer, I don't have the answer
I ain't got the patience to take no enhancer
Temptations, temptations
Got my sensations donating, and I be patiently waiting

Before we having relations
Next thing you know, we created some little negotiations
Little negroes relating, we train the way they behaving
I tell you, think about it
You remember back when you tell me no
You don't remember that sin?
Remember that hotel?
Remember that inn?

Remember that juice and remember that jam?
Remember back when we made a mistake?
Remember back when we were used to date?
I think about the times everything was great
I can still remember when you said you were late
But now I'm going and it's up to you
So tell my son to look up to me

A couple frame pictures ain't enough to view
But I see him when it's time, it can be his three
But I'm standing outside the gates right now
When I wait for them to open
I just had to make this song to describe
How my life can be so broken, broken

Nicotine overdose
Alcohol is overflown
The pain in my right lung, my tumor is overgrown
Mom thinks it's cancer, I don't have the answer
I ain't got the patience to take no enhancer
Open up the gates, won't you open up the gates?
I'm standing outside, arms wide while I wait

Open up the gates, won't you open up the gates?
Standing outside, arms wide while I wait
