Suddenly
When I sit back and look at my life
I think how far I came and everybody
makes mistakes but really no one's to blame
and on these streets ain't much done changed
but suddenly after all I've been threw
to get thru you gotta go thru
and why I'm worthy of his grace
is what I'm trying to show you
but honestly, truthfully, who you
and just like that I know your perception
of me just drastically changed
but pain is love and love overcomes all
if it's the right kind anyway, and thru my
life I always had to deal wit that petty he say she say
and I'll continue to speak the truth until on my tombstone
where I lay but ay, I know you don't like what I became
and it's a shame that we as people don't wanna
see the next man or woman prosper, but thats society
it ain't the white man but my own kind that wanna see me locked up
maybe even shot up, and America's attitude is
nothin can't stop us, but life is something ain't it
now look who's vision is tainted
now look who's holding the stainless
so suddenly it's the same sh!t just different places
same young niggas living Dr. Kings dream
wit more knowledge, but brand new faces
put me in Jesus place
now I'm literally bibically trading places
