Lyrics

Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Now, we've been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) He lives in a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Sittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin' About all I've been through, I wish I was dreamin' Man, it's hard to be an angel when you surrounded by demons (Jesus, Lord) I watched so many people leave I see 'em change by the season, that's mama's seasonin' God got you, the devil's watchin', he just peekin' in I know I made a promise that I'd never let the reaper in (Jesus) But lately, I've been losin' all my deepest friends (Lord) And lately, I've been swimmin' on the deepest end It's just drugs, it ain't no hugs, it ain't no love there You been down so much you don't even know what's upstairs Suicidal thoughts got you wonderin' what's up there (Jesus, Lord) And while I introduce the party, they say it's up there Too many pills, so much potions, so much pain, too many emotions And everything that you do good, it just go unnoticed (Jesus) Then they tell you that you good and just stay focused (Lord) Mama, you was the life of the party I swear you brought life to the party When you lost your life, it took the life out the party (Jesus) That woman rode with me like a Harley (Lord) Visions of my cousins in a cell really scarred me Movin' to the hood was like signin' up for the army 'Cause they been killin' n- since n- was watchin' Barney (Jesus) You want dreams to come true? But I have nightmares (Lord) 'Cause if that come to life, then I might not be right here Been in the dark so long, don't know if the light here But I'm just reachin' for the stars like Buzz Lightyear (Jesus) And now I'm light years ahead of those nightmares (Lord) I deaded those night terrors when the night clears And if I talk to Christ, can I bring my mother back to life? And if I die tonight, will I see her in the afterlife? (Jesus) But back to reality where everything's a tragedy (Lord) And better have a strategy or you could be a statistic Little boy dies, he's just one of the mystic And mama steady cryin' 'cause she really the victim (Jesus) Now she's gettin' high and she's gettin' addicted (Lord) And her older boy just stuck with the picture, painted vivid That's a family portrait and her daughter just absorbed it 16, pregnant, baby daddy say she should abort it (Jesus) But we can't afford it, so she decides to move forward (Lord) Baby shower time, father didn't show up Now she just feelin' nauseous like she finna throw up The water flows down her legs, yeah, it's finna go up (Jesus) A year done went by, her daughter just turned one (Lord) And she's still dependent on her mom Big brother in the streets, he went and bought him a gun He want revenge 'cause the pain, feelin' numb (Jesus) And her mom still doin' drugs 'cause that's the only time she feel loved (Lord) But is it real love? Do the scars really heal up? From all the pain that been built up, but they don't feel us (Jesus) A week done flew by, big bro ridin' then he see the guys (Lord) Left his little brother on the side, bleedin' from the side He seein' red, it's like he's bleedin' through his eyes To see him dead, the only thing that'll help the grievin' up inside (Jesus) He even let him get they last meal (Lord) He done with the streets after this, this his last kill He gotta show him that it's that real He ran up on him with the pipe like, "N-, stand still" (Jesus) "You took my brother life, you made my mother cry" (Lord) "Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ" He said, "Go 'head, take my life, I've seen everything but Christ" The big bro just blacked out and all you seein' was the light (Jesus, Lord) Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Uh-huh, in the name of the true and living God The beneficent, the merciful (Hallelujah) Thank you for bringin' me up the rough side of the mountain like Ertuğrul (Jesus) Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage (Lord) To the monk who visited Rothschilds like Thelonious did Pannonica (sheesh) It's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin' through your monitor Back from the great beyond, the Son of Man and the son of Donda (Jesus) I never rolled the GXSR or the R6 or the Honda (Lord) But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda (facts) What the Clintons did to Haiti and Downing Street did to Ghana In Tenochtitlan they call me Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Jesus) I shake the tectonic plates of the game if I lay one vocal (Lord) The God is interstellar while you fellas remain local My bars is like the pyramid temples of Pacal Votan (Jesus) As sure as the DOJ confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord) I could change the world like Yacub with two pieces of steel My sword and my microphone, I swore to the Christ's throne But when you great, they wanna say you took an L, José Castillo (Jesus) I'm in the fight here, fight here, for what seemed like light years (Lord) My rugged cross and thorny crowns squeeze out Christ tears 30 pieces of silver clout, my Pierre price tier It's a war outside, it's a war outside (Jesus) It's like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah outside (Lord) Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) We've been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) He lives in a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) What up, Ye? This Larry Hoover Jr. First and foremost, I wanna thank you For taking the fight for my father to the Oval Office You might not have been the only one that could've did that But you were the one that did do that And with your assistance We can continue to let the world take part in this fight You know to me it kinda feels like, me, my mother, my brothers And my kids have all been incarcerated through this journey And we haven't even been to jail We've been looked at and treated as criminals, for being a part of this family My father's truth and the reality that he raised me in Is that he wanted to make a change in this community 'Cause the conditions in this capitalist society Is what made him, and it's what made the children of today After 25 years of bein' locked down, 23 and 1 My father has not called any shots From one of the most secure and segregated prisons in the world And will not, once released Call any of the shots for the Gangster Disciples If my father's intentions were to lead us to death, destruction Into the hell that he has had to live in for the past 26 years Man, he would be dead to me I didn't sign up for that I didn't stay on this journey this long for that All my life, man, I've been waitin' for my father to come home They told me when I graduate eighth grade, he would be home Then they told me when I graduate from high school, he would be home I went away to Morris Brown, I graduated and he still ain't home Now I'm a adult, and my daughter went away to college and graduated He still not home Now even more than that, my son He graduated eighth grade and we still waitin' Matter of fact, he hasn't hugged Kissed, or touched any of his grandchildren And they haven't been able to touch they grandfather Even though it is not seen that way for some of us But for many of us, Larry Hoover is a beacon of hope for his community Who deserves to breathe free air Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry Hoover Sr. (Lord)
