Текст песни Hope Road - Thi'sl feat. Jai

Watching the world fall apart all around me/
Now everyday I wake up thank the Lord that He found me/
Now every chance I get man I'm praying for my dawgs/
Because they out there on the block playing with them laws/
They gave my homie 25 to life life in the pen/
He's 17 years old never coming back again/
Now looking through a glass is the only way I see him/
I tell him bout the Lord cuz He the only can free him/
I see the baby in the crack house/
Mommy in the back room/
Sister doing drugs everyday in the bathroom/
Wonder why they pull me wild n out int he classroom/
They don't know the story and the drama that's attached to me/
I starred in every ghetto story/
But who's daddy he have to ask Maury/
But Maury told him daddy never coming back again/
Cuz daddy doing life for a crime in the pen/
Man we born in the ghetto/
We raised in the ghetto/
They call us rock stars cuz we wave heavy metal/
That bullet hit us hard send us straight to the devil/
Here come the paul-bearers grave digger get the shovel/
We looking for that ribbon in the sky/
But that's hard to see when we ain't even got eyes/
Imma live everybody else die/
Imma crack a smile everybody else cry/
My granny told me never question God, but why so hard living where we live, and being who we are/
The system and the laws, man they made for us to fall/
But you can help us God, please help us God./
So hard to see your world come tumbling down/
It's falling fast and I have no idea how/
Can anybody hear me/
I know, you know, what's down the road again/
There's hope, I know, show me/
I saw a thousand birds fall from the sky/
The? sighs say we living in the last times/
The clock is ticking harder I can hear it in my mind/
We got floods in Brazil, floods in America/
Floods all around the world they even hit Australia/
Countries getting bombed, raided, war is ahead of us/
Earthquakes shake the ground, Lord what you telling us/
So many people gathered in the streets/
Uproars break out in the middle east/
Got me on my knees praying to the Lord for peace/
Bloody bodies being found dead in the streets/
We see a baby crying looking for its mom/
Searching through the rubble of a suicide bomb/
A lady crying holding onto a bloody arm/
The country getting torn apart by a civil war/
Lord they looking for that ribbon in the sky/
But it's hard to see when they aint even got eyes/
Imma live everybody else die/
Imma crack a smile everybody else cry/
My granny told me never question God, but why so hard living where we live, and being who we are/
The system and the laws, man they made for us to fall/
But you can help us God, please help us God./
So hard to see your world come tumbling down/
It's falling fast and I have no idea how/
Can anybody hear me/
I know, you know, what's down the road again/
There's hope, I know, show me/
