Speak Lord

[Hook] Speak Lord Speak to me [Verse 1: Killer Mike] My mama said, I'm hard-headed And many men have lost their soul Along the road that I'm headed Somewhere we stopped talking, Lord And I regret it The devil's coming at me And it's hard to side-step him You said, "Raise up a child In the way that it should go When it's old, it will not depart" But I'm selling hard And my momma's broken-hearted, Lord You know I call my grandmomma "Momma" Cause my momma's still smoking hard, Lord Since you brought my grandfather home I've felt so alone Some days I find it Impossible to carry on And I think about him How the pallbearers picked him up And carried him out And in my dreams I still hear My grandmother's screams Grant me peace, cause I can't sleep at night Sometimes me and these demons fight all night Dear Father, I'd bleed to have a kid Who understands how bad it gets That understands how mad I get Mad enough to slit my own wrists I'm mad enough to load the clip Find a nigga speaking badly on me Let it rip [Hook] [Verse 2: Killer Mike] Dear Father, Speak to me Walk with me, fight for me Grant me peace and serenity Shelter me from harm and injury I know that I'm not worthy of your grace But on that great and final day Let me see your face Make me Daniel in the Lion's Den When I'm crushed to the Earth Help me rise again Redeem me of all my sins All the lies, the deceit of women Even the abortions When I was bad off And they wanted to bury me You sent angels swooping down With wings to carry me You brought me through my darkness Touched my heart when I was hardest Washed away my sins Loved me regardless And regardless of what I gain as a D-boy Working man, or artist I'm nothing if I'm godless
