Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear Lord
I understand all the problems that I'm about to express to You
Are things You already know
Well, here goes nothing
[Verse 2]
Dear lord, I am on my knees and I'm begging please
Just guide me Father, this time I am really in need
Feeling like I just can't go on
Mama crying and she lost her home
Tears running all down her face
Judge gave her ten days to be gone
My God what I'm gon' do now
So stressed that the day go by
Devil on me and I don't know why
Beg mama just please don't cry
Times get a little rough I know
When it come to giving up I don't
Got twins and they on they way
See 'em starve in the bed I won't
Sometimes I ask myself
Would I be a good father?
'Cause I never had mine
But I give the world to my daughters
Live and you learn
Reap what you sow
Regardless of wealth
Grind like you poor
[Verse 3]
Only Lord knows, what the hell I done really been through
All the nights I ain't have no food
Dear God, tell me what I'm gonna do
Man, only Lord knows, all the times I was all on my grind
He helped what I never could find
Reach out when I couldn't get a dime
Man, only Lord knows
Lord knows
Lord knows
Man, only Lord knows, what the hell I done really been through
All the nights my mama couldn't move
And all the pain I done put her through
Man, Only lord knows
[Verse 4]
And I'm sick and tired of this pain
Hate the lames in this game
Only down because of my name
Rock Swiss because of my fame
Lord knows the road where I came
Lord knows the nights that I cried
Can't help the pain that's inside
Lord, wipe the tears from my eyes
Ever seen the letter of eviction
No place to go but you wishing
That a blessing come and you lifted
Yeah, dog, that's all in my vision
I done been through hell and them trenches
I done seen the best of them fall
Lost a couple of my dogs
Miss them **** like shit
But they still reside in my heart
Sore, ached, and I'm scarred
I'ma do it for Dale and Four Fifth
God damn, it's hard
Motherfuck this rapping
I really live this shit
Blood, sweat, and tears
I really get this shit
[Verse 5]
Only Lord knows, what the hell I done really been through
All the nights I ain't have no food
Dear God, tell me what I'm gonna do
Man, only Lord knows, all the times I was under my grind
He helped what I never could find
Reach out when I couldn't get a dime
Man, only Lord knows
Lord knows
Lord knows
Man, only lord knows, what the hell I done really been through
All the nights my mama couldn't move
And all the pain I done put her through (Man, only lord knows)
[Verse 6]
And everyday that I wake I grind
No time, never wait for mine
Still waiting on the day I shine
My soul, every bar, every line
I remember when I had no food
Lights off, bills overdue
Lord knows that I've paid my dues
Won't forget when I got that news
They say my mama sickly, thank God she seen her fifties
I pray and ask forgiveness, please Lord, just keep her with me
I was down and out
Remember that like yesterday
Made it out that struggle bracket
This year I'm blessed to say
Man, this world's so fucked up
Gas prices are way too high
Time's hard and I ain't gonna lie
Bust ass just to try and get by
So who the hell is y'all to be judging?
Made it away from literally nothing
Yeah, I'm talking literally nothing
[Verse 7]
Man, only lord knows, what the hell I done really been through
All the nights I ain't have no food
Dear God, tell me what I'm gonna do
Man, only Lord knows, all the times I was under my grind
He helped what I never could find
Reach out when I couldn't get a dime
Man only Lord knows
Lord knows
Lord knows
Man, only Lord knows, what the hell I done really been through
All the nights my mama couldn't move
And all the pain I done put her through
Man, only Lord knows
[Verse 8]
And I thank You, Jesus
For guiding me
For keeping me
In Your name I pray
Amen
[Verse 9]
Man, only Lord knows
