Gospel (2020)

I lift my hands up to the sky
Close my eyes and I'm wondering why
We all say we're just tryna get by
But in reality we're tryna survive

Seems the man in mirror can't help no mo
'Cause we all tryna push through, and that's fo sho
Seems like the gov tryna rock the boat
But I want answers bro, we need 'em yo
If I can try to tell you the truth
I feel like our life looking like a hypotenuse
On a landslide but who holds the noose
You'll never find out from just watching the news
Yellow journalism is really a thing, bro
Always thought that was just vocab in the classroom
Now I'm guessing we got a lot to look back to
But if we find a way to work together we could break through
Break through all this madness
'Stead of tryna loot, lie, steal and reap havoc (havoc)
Y'all running around like mavericks
Tryna find a level of clout to prove savage yo

I lift my hands up to the sky
Close my eyes and I'm wondering why
We all say we're just tryna get by
But in reality we're tryna survive

Y'all got houses down on collateral to pay for the house
Automobile in the driveway is pushing 200 thou'
Talking miles, feels how much you walked
Searching for a clue of an ounce of an unhardened heart
Of a deity to be giving thee guidance
Hoping the Lord's got couple angels in the projects
Working as bank tellers to help you with your filings
But if not you get violent
But man damn no slam dunk that's obnoxious
Stop bartering for a better fortune, maybe use some logic
God will help but only if you get and you try to find it
But you're so lost in a rhythm feeling you are too blinded
Out there wilding
Tryna be a gang banger but soft as Charmin
Now karma's calling
My bad, I meant cops are knocking

I lift my hands up to the sky
Close my eyes and I'm wondering why
We all say we're just tryna get by
But in reality we're tryna survive
I lift my hands up to the sky
Close my eyes and I'm wondering why
We all say we're just tryna get by
But in reality we're tryna survive
