I Had to Break Free

How do I redeem myself? Where's the redeemer at?

If God loved the world so much, he'd give us Jesus back!

Can freedom only be obtained through death?

I thought there was power in the name, how loud do I have to yell?

I'm in hell already, under a spell of the devil like I'm "dead in the Chevy";

like they be sayin' in the streets...

but I'm at peace when I got my piece; 

'bout to hit this lick, I'mma be so free!

I'mma be the MAN, they gon' be like damn;

"The Lord is surely blessin' you, B".

I'mma be like, yep, straight up, I had to get my weight up quick;

now I gotta slow down, sit and repent, cause for real?

...the Lord ain't had nothin' to do with this!

Literary Tears

I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong;

I'm a grown man without a spouse or a home.

I always feel like I'm doing everything right;

like to call myself a star, but lately, I'm not feeling so bright.

In and out of jail and nobody cares...I swear,

if I ain't love livin' so much, I'd shoot myself in the head.

Where's my help at? Where's my plug? Somebody tell me what's up;

How come I'm not good enough for somebody to love?

I made mistakes, fasho, and yes, I've learned from'em;

when will I be getting my chance to prove I've learned from'em?

I guess it's darkness forever, until I'm outta here;

although I'm not a kid, they've got me on lifetime punishment.
