Marc Rome - Only Lord Knows Lyrics

Will I get killed by a cop just for standing on the block tryna make another knot
(Only Lord knows)
Tryna make it to the top it ain't easy in this spot shit been getting kinda hot
(Only Lord knows)
If u was in my shoes would u make the same moves or would u fold up
(Only Lord knows)
But u gotta pay your dues even if u still lose why we never get to choose
(Only Lord knows)

Ghetto nigga stuck on eggs and rice
Use to window shop for shoes couldn't pay for the price
Now tell me is my life any different from yours
Just cause I grew up with no father u was raised with yours
I then made it through some tough wars
Ain't got no bullet wounds on me but I got the soars
The more I stress the more I think about a mill ticket
Me and my niggas from the hood we no longer kick it
(Why)
I told em let's get money and they ain't even with it
And I get lonely as hell but I deal with it
Ain't no cops ever protected and served me
All they ever did was get on my nerves and strait worry me

Will I get killed by a cop just for standing on the block tryna make a another knot
(Only Lord knows)
Tryna make it to the top it ain't easy in this spot shit been getting kinda hot
(Only Lord knows)
If u was in my shoes would u make the same moves or would u fold up
(Only Lord knows)
But u gotta pay your dues even if u still lose why we never get to choose
(Only Lord knows)

Six years they been had my nephew locked down
But can't indict the cops who shot my nigga Jimmy down
Judge ain't got no mercy on no real
Throw away the key and f*ck em no deal nigga
Sad story but u know just how this book close
Gun us down selling cds at corner stores
Got my own wars right in my backyard
Prosecutors tryna stick me with another charge
Wanna see me playing cards in that 8 by 10
But I be dam if I see another cage again
I'mma win either way just like the song say
Only Lord knows I'm tryna make a way

Will I get killed by a cop just for standing on the block tryna make another knot
(Only Lord knows)
Tryna make it to the top it ain't easy in this spot shit been getting kinda hot
(Only Lord knows)
If u was in my shoes would u make the same moves or would u fold up
(Only Lord knows)
But u gotta pay your dues even if u still lose why we never get to choose
(Only Lord knows)

Only Lord knows
Only Lord knows
Only Lord knows
Only Lord knows
