My Destiny
Dear Lord (Dear Lord)
I know it's a long time that we haven't spoken
(It's been a long time)
But I guess it's time for us to speak right now
(Gotta speak right now)
I need your help (Man we all need your help)
I hope you're listening (I hope that you're listening)
All I need is one mic, one pen
One page, one moment in time
For this cat to stand on the front line
One song to change one youth's mind
It's not only mine, but it's all of ours so let's share this
Who said he wasn't supposed to make it
Trying to fight his way through this thing called the system
He's been talking, all he hearing is silence
Too much violence, no wonder he becomes a victim
He don't go to school no more
He'd rather stay at home to watch TV
To learn 'bout cars and clothes, pimpin' hoes
How to kill another brother to get that doe
Running away from the 5-0, the chase is on
Looks back at the dogs that barking, shots that bussing
That keeps him running, that keeps him jumping
A bullet misses him and shatters the glass
He's praying dear Lord, please let this moment pass
This is the life, the life that we live
Dear Lord, please forgive
And help me to see my destiny
I tried to do right, I'm lost in the fight
I can't give up my dreams 'cause it's my destiny
She goes to school with a broken heart
Family, she wish she had is torn apart
Her pops so hooked to drinking in bars every day
Mama says go to school to learn is the only way
Her brother's on the flipping 'yay (Flipping 'yay)
Realizing no one's listening, she
Turns attention to her best friend, who's
Only interest is her innocence, before
She realized she's pregnant
Baby daddy already say it ain't his
He's only 17, ain't ready for no damn kids
Responsibility he ain't having it
So many things in her mind that her head starts to spin
Her life already feels like a battlefield
The problem that she faces is so real
This situation is blown way outta proportion
The only thing on her mind is get an abortion, cause
This is the life, the life that we live
Dear Lord, please forgive
And help me to see my destiny
I tried to do right, I'm lost in the fight
I can't give up my dreams 'cause it's my destiny
Is riches the life for me is the question asked
As the Benz passed, looking at my reflection in the glass
Being told I'll never make it out of my class
Is a major setback, but no reason to be strapped
Dreams and aspiration fill into one's mind
As I sit staring deep into the tunnel of time
Who tells birds that it is their time to fly?
Why do we live to die?
Why do newborn babies cry?
We move only on internal instincts so why don't we see
That we were all meant to be Kings and Queens
Moving over the earth like mindless zombies
I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me
That's the love that's only going to bond me
Could never break me, could only make me
Into the man, I'm supposed to be
Dear God, please help me find my destiny
Let this world only have the best of me, cause
Now bring the beat back
This is the life, the life that we live
Dear Lord, please forgive
And help me to see my destiny
I tried to do right, I'm lost in the fight
I can't give up my dreams 'cause it's my destiny
This is the life, the life that we live
Dear Lord, please forgive
And help me to see my destiny
I tried to do right, I'm lost in the fight
I can't give up my dreams 'cause it's my destiny
Oh oh, ooh woah
Oh oh, ooh way yay
Oh oh, woah
Oh oh, hey
Oh oh, ooh woah
Hey hey, he yay
Oh oh, woah
Ey ey
This is the life, the life that we live
Dear Lord, please forgive
And help me to see my destiny
I tried to do right, I'm lost in the fight
I can't give up my dreams 'cause it's my destiny
Once you put your mind
You can be Kings, you can be Queens
Kn' mean?
I know it's a long time that we haven't spoken
(It's been a long time)
But I guess it's time for us to speak right now
(Gotta speak right now)
