May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic

May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic.

My voice projected, my life reflected.

Daddy was a crack fiend.

Two in the morning had us runnin' down the block like a track team.

When he burned the house down and my mother was in it, how could I forqet it, the pain was infinite.

She's my queen and I ain't even British.

She's the only reason that I went to school and I finished. (yeah)

She told me that I had talent, got on her knees and prayed for me when I started being violent.

She saw something in me that, til this day I don't know if I could be that. But I'ma die trying.

And when I'm done crying, grab the iron , and black out like I'm retiring.

Nightmares of yu killing my mother, the reason that I sleep with my head under the covers.

And they shoulda thrown the book at you, cause I hate you so much that it burn when I look at you.
