Letter to My Y.N

God if ya listening can you do something for me

Can you speak to my son and tell em what you told me

Can you build a fence around him to protect him from them streets

Free his mind and give him peace from the demons I can’t see

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect for me

I did my dirt I can’t expect him to be clean so

Help me to guide him cuz he lookin up to me

I pray he talks to you if he can’t come to me

Don’t wanna push too hard and run him to the streets*

Now only that but we got stigma with police

Need you to wrap ya arms around him lord im pleadin

Shield and protect him from the demons I can’t see

I’m gone a lot I ain’t always there when he need me*

See I done taught him to keep his guard

And if they put they hands on you you hit em harder

But there’s some lessons that he need I can’t offer

So Sunday morning ima bring em to the altar

God if ya listening can you do something for me

Can you speak to my son and tell em what you told me

Can you build a fence around him to protect him from them streets

Free his mind and give him peace from the demons I can’t see

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect for me

Lord I know you got me but I fear for my son

Cuz I can’t change how he think or his love for a gun

I try my best to paint a picture of the stories I can tell

Or the moments I done lived that done almost got me killed

It’s like he hear me but he don’t maybe he will or he won’t

But the way that it’s goin I feel that he won’t

Take heed to the warning from the words of a man

That done been where you goin trying to help him understand

See I done taught him to keep his guard

And if they put they hands on you you hit em harder

But there’s some lessons that he need I can’t offer

So Sunday morning ima bring em to the altar

God if ya listening can you do something for me

Can you speak to my son and tell em what you told me

Can you build a fence around him to protect him from them streets

Free his mind and give him peace from the demons I can’t see

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect him Lord

Lord protect him, protect for me
