Waiting for an Answer

Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins Two-hundred twenty thousand people in this broken city Growing up I seen the streets were never painted pretty Real gritty, the streets of San Bernardino Fifty-one Fifty If I want to change the world, I gotta move quickly This shit is real tricky My chance is fading quickly I think I'm even nearly forgetting the feeling of breathing I'm mearley looking for a reason of meeting for freedom When your children hunger for knowledge, but you won't feed em And there's no freedom if you don't free them Yo there's no meaning if nothing is changing, it's useless I gotta do this, I can't refuse it I ain't got the time to waste for me to be trying to prove it Cuz all you're ever really doing is talk of making a difference But don't even live it and then treat them as if you were any better I've never seen anyone else, so selfish and ignorant Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins I can't help but feel sorry when I'm seeing this struggle Try forgetting about the pain, just to run into trouble No matter how I try changing always in the same bubble Then they wanna try to judge me for the blood on my knuckles Another scuffle Yo, another rumble Just Another time without knowing that you led them to stumble You say you want to change the world, I see you feeding the homless What about the suicidal kids feeling hopeless I aint rapping on this beat cuz I got something to prove I'll lay my life down for God, so I got nothing to lose While you're staring at me crooked, when I'm making a move You could be making a difference, instead of judging the fools That's cool, how you tell them that they need repentance For taking vengeance and smoking resin, Im second guessing If you're even a real child of heaven Wearing your pride like a necklace Feeding their depression Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins I'm telling you that life is more than what you see on your screen My mother once told me, son, chase your dreams I know someday, San Bernardino will shine We just gotta lift our hands and open our mind Waiting for an answer from the sky is feeling useless I aint got the fucking time to wait, I need solutions Read the book, you need faith, there's no excuses Tell me what it really says, and homie we can do this And maybe I'm wrong, but I just can't deny this feeling It's like the beating in my heart is burning to seize it I must believe it, I know I see it There's nothing more important to me, than working for Jesus Yo I know someday, all will give the glory to Christ I know someday, San Bernardino will rise I know someday, we'll forget the pain and the lies But for now all I can do a send a prayer to the sky Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins Everyday I send a prayer up into the sky Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins Waiting for an answer Maybe The Lord will forgive me of my sins
