I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
Put in your hands I swear to
I ain't never had nothin'
And I don't have much to give
But if I could make you stand for somethin'
Then it make my purpose real
Listen here
You ain't got nothin' to fear
Wipe away all of your tears
Make it abundantly clear
You way in front of your peers
Your only opponent the mirror
Look at how I got here, huh
Locked inside, but I was out there, huh
Boxed my life, no one else cared, huh
Now my mind so out there bruh
I was down and up
With the pounds and cups
Sick of scroungin' up
All these ounces of
An amount that never amount to much
And a thousand mountains, crowded above
I was feelin' lower than the lowest
Loneliness controlled my every motive
Only focused on being noticed
Notice we could never get a hold of
A piece of the pie
Wonder if there even a god
Wonder if He see through my eyes
Wonder if I'll meet him or not or has he been a lie
Thought I had the world in my reach
Then I had it crumble in my palm
I was tryna live like a king
I was making moves like a pawn
Doors never opened for me
Used to tell myself that they was locked
Do you see you've always had the key
Livin' in your conscious all along
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
I place my faith
I place my faith in you
Put it in your hands I swear to
No church for the wild
No rest for the wicked
Been servin' awhile
Still got the rest of my sentence
Heard the sky got too many angels
And they've all but filled their section
So I've been raising Hell
To get to Heaven
Call the reverend I need his faith
And amazing grace to hug me
Need a blessing to give me strength
To face this world that judge me
Can't nobody feel my pain
Now I hardly make an effort
This ache inside my heart
Need more than a few Excedrin
Hope God can read this letter
Or at least relay the message
Let my life become a mentor
Change a kid's intentions
Swear I didn't know what intent was
My life was lacking wisdom
Swear I didn't know what intent was
'Till intent sent me to prison
Help me change perspective
Give me healthy visions
Help me help the helpless
Pay me in forgiveness
Help me change perspective
Give me healthy visions
Help me help the helpless
And pay me in forgiveness
