Please God
We on the wealthiest continent on the planet God / funny enough it's also where the poorest people are / know I was destined for wealth but seein' people starve / is messin' with my head to the point where it reaches the heart / and I don't even start / workin' on these business plans / even though I know my people’ve gotta stand / make sure the economy is switchin' hands / so I’ve gotta ask / give me the strength to stand up / and stop waiting for the little the government hands us / not to criticize but the ship that they were left with / was already sinkin' and destined to bring stresses / behold it commences a whole lot o' people askin' questions / like when are we gettin' our picket fences / so please let 'em see that the power's in them / and if we’re gonna fix it everybody’s gotta lend / a hand / until we make it / can we not be land that's stripped naked / but draped in the robes o' greatness, what I'm sayin' is /
Chorus
Please God, may we all have peace God
end the war in the east and the streets God
Please God, may we all be released God
from the wack things attacking to our seeds God
Please God, may Africa be free God?
from disease, poverty and the greed God
Please God, and when I ride on these beats God
may what I write please God, please God
A little girl complains / that her clothes are stained / with the smell of war / a lot of the things she played in she doesn't wear no more / bullet holes in the fridge / and nowadays she doesn't even trip when the bullets zip in the crib / ‘cause she lives in Palestine that's how it usually is / you hear the guns and tanks and artillery spit / occasionally you attend the funeral of a kid / unfortunate enough to take the wrong route to where he lives / and the situation equally real / over there Israel / where you could be killed just steppin’ out of your buildin' / by a man strapped up in a suicide bomb / and he believes he’s doin' it in the path of Allah / but there ain't nothin' ‘bout killin' the innocent in the Quran / and to use God and religion to justify it is wrong / but people oppressed, and people at war / can only stand so much before / the evil engulfs them so
Chorus
Please God, may we all have peace God
end the war in the east and the streets God
Please God, may we all be released God
from the wack things attacking to our seeds God
Please God, may Africa be free God?
from disease, poverty and the greed God
Please God, and when I ride on these beats God
may what I write please God, please God
Hey Lord in heaven I'm a far cry from the best / nevertheless I've been given a gift with sentences / and when I spit 'em I see people's attention'll shift / to what I'm sayin' so dear Lord I'm prayin' / don't let me use it for evil eish / because I'm human and I do wanna get fame a bit / before I'm with the angels I wanna be someone's favourite / I'm wonderin’ isn't it partly the reason you blessed me / with speakin' with people but yo the evil will tempt me / with pretty women screamin’ and over-eager to sex me / or critics and haters eager to vex me / and Let's be real, I won’t always go down the path / but dear Lord I'm prayin' you'll save me and bring me right back / ‘cause I’ve got a lot to say and many to say it to / but I'd prefer it if I was the mouthpiece you say it through / you're the only deity I'm praying to / Creator of the universe grant that there’ll be peace inside of me too
Chorus
