Waiting for an Answer

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins

Two-hundred twenty thousand people in this broken city
Growing up I seen the streets were never painted pretty
Real gritty, the streets of San Bernardino Fifty-one Fifty
If I want to change the world, I gotta move quickly
This shit is real tricky
My chance is fading quickly
I think I'm even nearly forgetting the feeling of breathing
I'm mearley looking for a reason of meeting for freedom
When your children hunger for knowledge, but you won't feed em
And there's no freedom if you don't free them
Yo there's no meaning if nothing is changing, it's useless
I gotta do this, I can't refuse it
I ain't got the time to waste for me to be trying to prove it
Cuz all you're ever really doing is talk of making a difference
But don't even live it and then treat them as if you were any better
I've never seen anyone else, so selfish and ignorant

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins

I can't help but feel sorry when I'm seeing this struggle
Try forgetting about the pain, just to run into trouble
No matter how I try changing always in the same bubble
Then they wanna try to judge me for the blood on my knuckles
Another scuffle
Yo, another rumble
Just Another time without knowing that you led them to stumble
You say you want to change the world, I see you feeding the homless
What about the suicidal kids feeling hopeless
I aint rapping on this beat cuz I got something to prove
I'll lay my life down for God, so I got nothing to lose
While you're staring at me crooked, when I'm making a move
You could be making a difference, instead of judging the fools
That's cool, how you tell them that they need repentance
For taking vengeance and smoking resin, Im second guessing
If you're even a real child of heaven
Wearing your pride like a necklace
Feeding their depression

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins

I'm telling you that life is more than what you see on your screen
My mother once told me, son, chase your dreams
I know someday, San Bernardino will shine
We just gotta lift our hands and open our mind
Waiting for an answer from the sky is feeling useless
I aint got the fucking time to wait, I need solutions
Read the book, you need faith, there's no excuses
Tell me what it really says, and homie we can do this
And maybe I'm wrong, but I just can't deny this feeling
It's like the beating in my heart is burning to seize it
I must believe it, I know I see it
There's nothing more important to me, than working for Jesus
Yo
I know someday, all will give the glory to Christ
I know someday, San Bernardino will rise
I know someday, we'll forget the pain and the lies
But for now all I can do a send a prayer to the sky

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
Waiting for an answer
Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
