Lewis University Gospel Choior Performance Part 2

Nobody knows all the pain 

Living life I know mine ain't the same 

As these kids who all claim to be put under strain 

Boy do you know how damn far I done came 

Neighborhood it promotes violence 

I could've been out here selling dope 

But I thank god for in times of silence he 

Whispers to me and says hope 

There will be better days in my city I know 

There will be a time where the guns don't blow

If there's a issue let's take it slow

I pray that at the very worst it just comes to blows 

Nobody knows how hard I work and pray I'm talking everyday yeah it's no delay 

From the writing and praying and staying in school to the beats and the playing and looking too cool

They don't know 

Nobody knows it they sleeping on me 

I try to tell em they tweaking on me 

I got angels and blessings they speaking on me 

And I'm watching my back cause I know they be creeping on me 

But I can not be defeated 

But I do not cheat it 

I just finesse and repeat it 

The hate it's all in their eyes I can see it 

But the focus is on Reese and who he is 

Ray Charles to distractions 

I'm not bout that talking I'm bout that action 

Finesse family be my faction 

One day we'll start to see the change happen 

But meanwhile I'm changing my habits 

Cause we need to change who working in our cabinet 

Our president we should've never let happen 

But learn from the past and move forward 

Good vibes on in the name of the lord
