Everything I had inside o' here (Amen)
Faith and hope, I lost a lotta tears
Spoke up about the things I saw outside (Amen)
Turnin' back on me, so I die
Hearts abandoned; accusin', stranded (Amen)
There's nothin' to me but get it happen
Until it's short, it start to blow up (Amen)
The critics mumble, keep me humble
Oh, my God; oh, my God (Amen)
You gon' have to open up they eyes
I don't really think they see me, Lord (Amen)
You gon' have to help 'em come an' lie
We been trapped inside the Devil's lair (Amen)
I don't think that we can breathe the air
People wonderin' how we get up out (A—)
I'ma go ahead and say a prayer
