Dear God.. how can I explain myself? [J] Oh God bless me indeed When I´m so confused [J] Enlarge my territory [J] Place your love and protection over me at all times Help me! [J] Keep me away from evil Somebody answer me! [echoes] [J] Allow me not to cause pain [Jay-Z] Police in the background, screamin put the thing down That´s how hard I was trying to put my thing down Si-rens ringin out, old ladies screamin out All this attention for me and I´m barely sixteen now .. it´s feelin like a dream now Handcuffed, roughed up, I´m tossed in the bing now I´m lyin next to fiends now, that´s the end of the story Let me bring y´all niggaz back to the very first scene now December 4th, a child is born Before I knew it, had my pops trousers on That´s how we do it when the man of the house is gone You either, stand or fall, I chose to stand The hawk outside, so I blow my hand It´s a cold cold world but I overstand Tryin to stay focused but I feel hopeless damn Can´t cope with bein broke, I´m a man - c´mon [Chorus: R. Kelly] Son don´t let these streets, get the best of you I will be right by your side, when you goin through Son just don´t let it (just don´t let it) Just don´t let it (just don´t let it) Just don´t let it (just don´t let it) .. get the best of you [R. Kelly] Late one night I was, rollin the streets Just, thinkin about what´s goin on with me and trapped in this thug life, tryin to break free but this thug life just keeps callin me I´m livin life way too dangerously I´m drownin in my misery Looked in the mirror, there´s my enemy Cause poppa never was a part of me Take one step at a time, mama said Sweet memories still remain in my head All of my life been lied to, misled Voices be like, "Don´t you wish you was dead?" No ground to place my feet I feel the fire under me A way out is all I need Somebody, answer me! [Chorus ad libs] [Jay-Z] Now the only thing left is more spirit to roam free .. cause ain´t no goin home for me It´s a cold cold world but I blew my hand A true first cause I knew that man I knew what he would do if I didn´t draw first And I couldn´t stand the thought of my momma steppin foot inside a church All I try to do is try to get up out the dirt Guess he´s tryin to do the same, told me get up out his turf I wanted to talk to him, but that shit´d never work We was cut from the same cloth and what was under his shirt was his momma´s rent, his young brother´s clothes My nephew´s food, and with that I suppose .. and with that I froze Now my life is frozen in time behind these iron folds And this story is told, for young soldiers who never choose the life we chose [Chorus (ad libs)] [R. Kelly] Tears in my eyes as I look up, I´m tryin to hold back my pride but reality is screamin Gotta get a job cause mo-mma also screamin Streets are just like drugs, and it´s like I´m out here fiendin Forget all the hits in the industry, cause ain´t no exceptions in this game for me, look Neither God or my enemies, I choose God cause he understands, this young man with a thuggish heart Whole world in his hands but still torn apart Like I´m so close, but it´s still so far Nightmares of me in a swervin car, ohhh No ground to place my feet (my feet) I feel the fire under me (heyyy) A way out is all I need (all I need) Somebody, answer me! [Chorus ad libs]
