Good Man

[Hook]

Life's a journey and I went down the wrong path
Need someone to save me before life turns dark
Behind all my sins, I feel so enslaved
I need your loving arms around me in an embrace

Thought my life was golden like a touch from Midas
But now I've got down a route far from righteous
I'm tryin' to live life the best that I can
Am I a fool or am I still a good man?

[Verse 1]

Dear Father please forgive me for I have sinned
As I snort all these white lines so thin
Every day, I tell myself that I will quit
But every day, I keep running back to that shit
If it's not a line that I take this coke so evil
Then I'd look for either a glass pipe or a needle
When I withdraw from it, I feel sick and not alright
I need to stay happy and awake through the night

My head's not a holy temple where hope resides
It's a piece of Hell that keeps demons locked inside
I've been getting more corrupt as long as my blood runs
I've been prideful and getting snappy with my loved ones
Even my parents hate it when I suddenly turn loud
I heard them threatening to kick me out the house
Now I'm stuck in depression, I need a new direction
So now I'm on my knees, praying for redemption

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

Dear Father please forgive me for I have sinned
As I take what isn't mine on a daily whim
I target random people, even if they weren't dissing
I'm the reason that their money always goes missing
When it comes to limits, to me nothing's off!
Phones, necklaces, wallets, anything worth a lot!
And to those who say theft's a vile game to play
Try saying that when you've got a child on the way!

Imagine spending most of your teen years getting pissed
Then get fucked by a guy who doesn't know what love is
He abandons you and your child, being so cold
Now you're about to be a mother at 20 years old!
No parental support, so now you've gotta make a dash
Steal other people's shit & sell it to make quick cash
To support yourself, now you've heard my confession
So now I'm on my knees, praying for redemption

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Dear father please forgive me for I have sinned
As a life vanishes away with the wind
You've caught me here while I'm busy, out on the run
From a fatal stabbing down the street man, this isn't fun!
Needed some protection, so I walk 'round with a blade
I didn't want to use it, but bleeding on the street he lays
All I can do right now is drop to my knees and pray
For forgiveness that I took an innocent life away

See, there was a misunderstanding, I got paranoid
Of potential mugging, so his life I went & destroyed
Thought it was a punch I threw, 'till I saw him plummet
Red leaking out between his fingers over his stomach
I felt so sick, I've never considered myself a big man
I was so afraid, I just dropped the knife and ran
But I swear to murder him wasn't my intention!
So now I'm on my knees, praying for redemption
