ricki g - salvation. lyrics

[verse 1]
by the age of 22, i done been through it all
most of my n-gg-s dead or in prison behind bars
my mama had a couple strokes, did stand strong
my daughter turned one, i’m sick and tired of selling dope
i’m trying to find a job or something, maybe get a degree
$7.65 a hour, who the f-ck can it feed?
i’m in the jungle 24/7 surrounded by k!llers
gotta look over my shoulder, that’s reality n-gg-
i’m getting tired of this sh-t, making way for my siblings
same [? 0:35] story, same city filled with k!llings
it’s hard for a black man, world full of drama
gotta make it out of this mahf-cker promised to my mama
d-mn, going through it, tell me to go to church
the preacher lying, take ya money, you just livin’ in the dirt
wonder who can i trust, i’m f-cked up in the head
then smoking weed to calm my nerves, i’m living life on the edge

[chorus]
i’m praying for my own salvation
i’m just praying for my own salvation
lord for real, i’m praying for my own salvation (own salvation)
i’m praying for my own salvation

[verse 2]
young n-gg- young n-gg-, got baby mama drama
just got out probation, feel they still coming for me
no concealed to carry, just a n-gg- to bury
but can’t be caught without a d-mn ’cause you considered a felon
just saying f-ck it, that’s just another chance you gotta take
got bills due, a couple more bands you gotta make
i ain’t finish i’m a one man army
and i don’t trust none even [? 1:36] said he love me
jealousy went deep [? 1:38], through the love and through the pain
no support and no umbrella, all alone just in the rain
my life is not a game and now my batteries dead
i’m outta reach with no response i think i need to connect
motivated in the hood, remember riding in my cadillac
just praying for a better day, i’m focused where the [? 1:54] at
taking chances, tryna dodge another case
i tell my family i love ’em ’cause this could be my last day
for real

[chorus]
i’m praying for my own salvation
i’m just praying for my own salvation
lord for real, i’m praying for my own salvation (own salvation)
i’m praying for my own salvation

{bridge]
man, i came from the bottom, why y’all still hate me?
rap dreams all i ever wanted was to make it
refuse to stay in the hood for the rest of my life
spend my time with low-life n-gg-s that only want strikes
f-ck the cars and clothes, took every dime that i had
invested it in myself, i made this alb-m with debt
a lot of shootouts, lotta long nights
made a promise to my daughter, provide her with better life

[verse 3]
f-ck the gang game sh-t, that’s lame sh-t
a real n-gg- handle his family and put ’em first, the definition of made man
a lot of teachers told me i can never be sh-t
a cl-ss clown ’cause i juggle zips, ounces and bricks
used to listen to nas, he told me life is a b-tch
i’m getting closer to the goal ’cause i’m about to be rich
but you can’t never expose me, got no regrets
the streets made me who i am, i only picture success

[chorus]
i’m praying for my own salvation
i’m just praying for my own salvation
lord for real, i’m praying for my own salvation (own salvation)
i’m praying for my own salvation
