i shall not fear no man but god
though i walk through the valley of death
i shed so many tears
if i should die before i wake
please god walk with me
grab a nigga and take me to heaven
back in elementary i thrived on misery
left me alone i grew up amongst a dyin’ breed
inside my mind couldn’t find a place to rest
until i got that thug life tatted on my chest
tell me can you feel me i’m not livin’ in the past
you wanna last be the first to blast
remember kato no longer with us he’s deceased
call on the sirens seen him murdered in the streets
now he rest in peace
is there a heaven for a g remember me
so many homies in the cemetery shed so many tears
refrain
i suffered through the years
and shed so many tears
lord i lost so many peers
and shed so many tears
now that i’m strugglin’ in this business by any means
label me greedy gettin’ green but seldom seen
and fuck the world ’cause i’m cursed
i’m havin’ visions of leavin’ here in a hearse
god can you feel me
take me away from all the pressure and all the pain
show me some happiness again
i’m goin’ blind i spend my time in this cell ain’t livin’ well
i know my destiny is hell where did i fail
my life is in denial and when i die
baptized in eternal fire shed so many tears
refrain
lord i suffered through the years
and shed so many tears
lord i lost so many peers
and shed so many tears
now i’m lost and i’m weary so many tears
i’m suicidal so don’t stand near me
my every move is a calculated step
to bring me closer to embrace an early death
now there’s nothin’ left
there was no mercy on the streets
i couldn’t rest i’m barely standin’
about to go to pieces screamin’ peace
and though my soul was deleted i couldn’t see it
i had my mind full of demons tryin’ to break free
they planted seeds and they hatched sparkin’ the flame
inside my brain like a match such a dirty game
no memories just a misery
paintin’ a picture of my enemies killin’ me in my sleep
will i survive ’til the morning to see the sun
please lord forgive me for my sins ’cause here i come
refrain
lord god
i suffered through the years
and shed so many tears
god i lost so many peers
4
and lord knows i tried been a witness to homicide
seen driveby’s takin’ lives little kids die
wonder why as i walk by
brokenhearted as i glance at the chalk line gettin’ high
this ain’t the life for me i wanna change
but ain’t no future bright for me i’m stuck in the game
i’m trapped inside a maze
see this tanqueray influenced me to gettin’ crazy
disillusioned lately i’ve been really wantin’ babies
so i could see a part of me that wasn’t always shady
don’t trust my lady ’cause she’s a product of this poison
i’m hearin’ noises think she’s fuckin’ all my boys
can’t take no more i’m fallin’ to the floor
beggin’ for the lord to let me in to heaven’s door
shed so many tears
refrain
lord lost so many peers
and shed so many tears
i lost so many peers
and shed so many tears
lord i suffered many years
and shed so many tears
god i lost so many peers
and shed so many tears
