Punishment

Come on God, answer me If years I'm asking you why Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive Where is justice, where is punishment Or have you already answered Have you already said to the world Here is justice, here is punishment Here in me I question not me, it only happens to others I can't deny reality as life gets smothered If the lines can be read between Maybe you can tell me then what it all means 'Cause he who paints the big picture runs the whole scene Locked down, I gotta get it out Impending doom, a cloud above my head Why me? My faith has been devout Blasphemous? Am I better off dead? Punishment, for all my sins A burning thought inside my mind Has me full of pity for all of human kind As we move forth, we fall further behind Fear of death, will my life go on? Controlled fate? On the corner rolling dice Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong In my eyes, who really pays the price My lament, for the human race Guilty, punishment for all my sins, yeah yeah Dread the day that brings the truth Punishment for what I've done Sentence me for all my sins Bound in fear for what I've got Though not much it seems a lot Life is death and no one wins Bustin' my ass, another day another dollar As I kneel down and I confess to the father That I'm suffering a burning question of the truth Whether or not to pull the trigger or to jump right off the roof 'Cause I did things normal, just like all my friends But now I'm positive and life it all ends Punishment, for all my sins, I repent In reality, we all must face the fact that the majority Of the people are out there smoking crack, getting doped up Shooting that shit into their veins, the question must be asked If we have any brains left, or right or wrong in this song A question we all ask and must answer before long 'Cause no one is safe in this world, what's the deal The sentence is death and to what court do I appeal? Punishment, for all my sins, I repent Punishment
