Penance

We gotta choice we facin'
Once you awaken, you'll know the lonely road we takin'
With every move they makin'
I see 'em hatin', it make me feel my heart is breakin'
Look like the future fadin'
It got me shaken cuz at this stage we needin' savin'
I heard your grace amazin'
Lord why you waitin', please hear my penance while I'm prayin'

Since I been put on this earth, my heart continue to hurt, I just can't take it
When worse come to worse, you put in a hearse, so how the hell can we break it
This vicious cycle surroundin' my soul, blow after blow, I'm feelin' so low
Lord, I feel like I'm losin' control, this really can't be how you planned it to go
From the beginnin' the evil keep winnin', just look how their people out makin' a move
Watch how you choose, if you ain't willin' to do what it do, you finna be set up to lose
They sparkin' the fuse, we followin' fools, I feel like we're doomed
That's what our history proves, repeatin' the past, like we don't have any clue
Lessons are lost on the weary and wicked that seem to be fallin' for all of the lies
Every damn minute it's lookin' more vivid, but homie I still ain't believin' my eyes
If you ain't been feelin' livid I guess you won't get it, but why do ya try ta deny
Time after time and line and after line, it seem like the harder they try
Don't ever give in, we stay in the battle, be ready to rumble the struggle is gonna be long
Light up the night like a candle, stay humble, you gotta be keepin' your family strong
The weight of the world havin' me feel like I'm atlas wit all that we got in the balance
I betta be up to the challenge, I feel like I'm finna be crashin' like Richie Valens

We gotta choice we facin'
Once you awaken, you'll know the lonely road we takin'
With every move they makin'
I see 'em hatin', it make me feel my heart is breakin'
Look like the future fadin'
It got me shaken cuz at this stage we needin' savin'
I heard your grace amazin'
Lord why you waitin', please hear my penance while I'm prayin'

I wanna be singin' your praises, but why are there so many faces
In so many places that hate is erasin', I feel like there never be changes
Why are the wicked the ones that are famous, why do they try to divide us by races
Why they continue to hate us, we hopin' this moment will echo thru all of the ages
What will it take you to finally see the harsh reality of our dichotomy
I'm teachin' my progeny life is an odyssey, they gonna be needin' autonomy
Standin' without an apology, horrible times are comin' to mind
I guess the plan they followed a wonderfully wicked design
Get up and go, the first step is slow, you needa continue to grow
Just like a seed that you sow, look at the babies you hold, and then you will know
I'm keepin' it clear, don't be willin' to follow your peers that give in to fear
I found the final frontier, the whole situation is seemin' severe
Yo, I'm thinkin' the end really near, it's havin' me sheddin' some tears
I'm bein' sincere, get it in gear, we still aren't prepared for peace to appear
Lord, we needin' your presence so hear our repentance and hold off your vengeance
If your love is really your essence, then please will you bless us by givin' our penance Acceptance

We gotta choice we facin'
Once you awaken, you'll know the lonely road we takin'
With every move they makin'
I see 'em hatin', it make me feel my heart is breakin'
Look like the future fadin'
It got me shaken cuz at this stage we needin' savin'
I heard your grace amazin'
Lord why you waitin', please hear my penance while I'm prayin'
