Confession

By Donta

Verse I

Check it now I stand here

--Confession again

Hoping my prayers are being answered

--For a blessing again.

Facing a depression again but still

--Fighting 2 overcome,

I done witness so much pain & violence

--My inside's numb.

See I was making bad decision, confused

--Between religions,

Didn't even want 2 know the difference

--Until I was facing prison.

Spent most of my life living in trials

--And tribulations.

Dear God I'm sick and tired of being lost so

--Now I'm seeking salvation.

No mo bangin', no mo slanging' time 2 put

--Down that blue rag.

I'm trading in my wicked ways all

--The evil and bad.

I spent too much time chasing love

--In all the wrong places

So many back stabbing friends so many

--Painful faces.

See I done caught cases & all trying

--2 find what was true

Still I was too blind 2 realize that

--All along it was you.

And throughout my life u see

--I've learned many valuable lessons.

Dead God hear my cry, dear God send

--Me a blessing now my confession.

Verse II

Now Mom & Dad was never there

--But still I tried 2 hold on

So I got put on the hood

--Just so I could belong

Start packin' a chrome in these

--Streets 2 control my peace,

But u spared my life, It could've

--Been me laying dead in the street.

This cold world ain't nothing nice

--We really paying the price.

I seen my homey lose his

--Life behind the roll of a dice

With my so-called friends trying

--To kick it, my frame of mind was too wicked

And all the sins that I committed

--I confess all, I admit it.

but can u help me Lord please. I don't

--Think that I'll make it.

Never got what I wanted so

--I learned to take it.

And no one heard my please or my

--Cry

No one seen my pain cuz I held

--It all inside.

See I was too rebellious I just

--Couldn't learn the easy way

When I was faded I hesitated

--2 get on my knees and pray.

And throughout my life I've learned

--Many valuable lessons.

Dear God hear my cry, dear God

--Send me a blessing now my confession.

Verse III

Our father we join in heaven

--Hollow by thy name.

Thy kingdom come thy will be done

--Throughout the sun and rain.

On earth forgive us our debts as we

--Forgive our debters.

With all other mischievous sins

--And vendettas.

Lead us not to temptation but deliver

--Us from evil.

Let every race in this nation come

--Together as one people.

We all equal for thou is the kingdom

--Power and glory.

And when I enter the house of the lord

--It's more glory

Remember now thy creator in the

Days of thou youth.

Ecclesiastes 12 & 1 and look it up yourself

--Cuz it's true

When I was a boy C I remember about

--The age of eleven,

That I was choosing to lead my people

Into the kingdom of heaven

Now here I am Lord I'm confessing upon my

--Knee

Mold me like clay in ya hands 2

--Whatever u want me 2 be.

And throughout my life ya see I've learned

--Many valuable lessons

Dear God hear my cry. Dear God send

--Me a blessing now my confessions.
