Unanswered Prayers

There once was a boy who refused to become a man

Making excuses to not have to go home again A young woman cries, asking God why

What did she do wrong to live this life? He finds solace in alcohol and any drugs on

Hand She finds comfort in the arms of another man

Eager to swoop in and pick up the pieces On your knees at night, praying to Jesus

Asking God why you have to hurt so much inside Tears in your eyes as you pray for your life

Sometimes unanswered prayers are the best kind God knows all we really need is time

My hopes and dreams became unanswered prayers Trapped in hell, but I'm still here

Life in the streets and nobody cares Still waiting on unanswered prayers

My hopes and dreams became unanswered prayers Trapped in hell, but I'm still here

Life in the streets and nobody cares Still waiting on unanswered prayers

Sometimes I get drunk at night and cry Thinking what would it be like if I were unalived

I done lost my dad and half of my sanity Now all I see is evil in the vanity

You might find me on Reagan's couch under a bottle Or masking my pain under an OnlyFans model

Why God, have you forsaken me? I just want to die

The barrel pressed against my temple, tears in my eyes

As I pull the trigger, two bullets jammed in the slide

Asking God for forgiveness as I drop the gun by my side

It must be a miracle God gave me a second chance But how long until I throw it all away again

My hopes and dreams became unanswered prayers Trapped in hell, but I'm still here

Life in the streets and nobody cares Still waiting on unanswered prayers

My hopes and dreams became unanswered prayers Trapped in hell, but I'm still here

Life in the streets and nobody cares Still waiting on unanswered prayers

I'm just sitting here Drowning in whiskey and beer

Trying to forget you, dear Drowning in whiskey and beer

I got played for the fool and you used me up At night I still dream of your big old butt

I'm better off without you, but I still hurt All I need is to get under a brand new skirt

I got laid off from work and I'm back to selling pot

Now I got the cops blowing up my spot I don't know how, but somehow I will survive

I'm like a loc'ed out cat, Cuzzin, I've got nine lives

My hopes and dreams became unanswered prayers Trapped in hell, but I'm still here

Life in the streets and nobody cares Still waiting on unanswered prayers

My hopes and dreams became unanswered prayers Trapped in hell, but I'm still here

Life in the streets and nobody cares Still waiting on unanswered prayers
