I never thought God would be so close, I can feel it within my reach

My life say church is on the move though it's minus the one who preach

They say success will bring you pain, I say struggle and bring the same

I used to fight to duck the rain, going through hell like I'm in chains

I truly feel this shit in cycle, like Michael, I'm tryna take flight

The sun don't shine forever, now I'm like fuck it

Go and give a nigga the right light, hope that I'm focused

Can't lose my faith and go hopeless, been praying hard, hope God noticed

I'm on my way, I feel God on this

So close, I can't blow this, told Niko I'd make her proud

I don't make it, just know I gave it all that I could, one peep facing this crowd

Yeah, I believe just like my grandfather did 'fore he passed

They tell me God don't make mistakes, even the time it passed

I just hope I last to see it, my past been a disaster

Got shot once but I'm still here, my smoke clearing up faster

Yeah, I believe something gonna give and won't nothing get took away


11/59, excuse me, let me pray
Yeah, I'm not sure I'm supposed to ease my pain

This would be my first confession since I got some change

No, I ain't been the same, no, I ain't the same person

How can I shine when all my people hurting?

How can I ride with all these jackals lurking?

How can I say things will be ok when I can't be for certain?

My momma told me she praying for the hope the bread working

I watch the news, look how we do, I'm thinking lord, have mercy

Yeah, I still think to the chase of fame and rubber bands

There's no excuse for what I've done, I know you understand

I've been a man in situations I should've stayed a child

But when you young and people dying, it makes it hard to smile

I've done enough in the eyes of me, but that ain't enough at all

Before I came to You, I searched, but there was no one to call

Y'all lost things and I've lost family in the midst of all this wrath

Still, I lose my faith and I'm dying to get it back

'Cause I believe
