Jay Rock - Redemption lyrics
[Jay Rock - Redemption lyrics]
If you had a second chance in life
What would you do?
Would you put the pills down?
Throw out the lean too?
Treat your baby mama right and
Make way for your kids?
Peace with your enemies
Keep the water under the bridge?
I think about if my
Motorcycle crash was fatal
Broken bones, internal bleedin'
Stretched on the table
Goin' through surgery
Two machines helping me breathe
Sorry mama, I wanna stay but I gotta leave
I see my funeral packed, I see some lyin'
Some cryin' and some givin' dap
I see false claimers
Strangers and foes with they
Head in they laps i see mo' division
I see some of them showin' up
Just to post a picture
Like they was my nigga
Instagram's a dead man's best friend
Everybody lookin' for likes but
Wasn't likin' you when
You needed somethin' to hold on
Dealin' with life stress
Glad them angels came in surgery
Said I'm not done yet!
I know saints, I know sinners, I know bosses
I know pain, I know wins, I know losses
My loyalty is sensitive so
Please don't cross me
My loyalty is sensitive so
Please don't cross me
I came to redeem myself
All I need is God's help
It's a millions of miracles
Show me the real you, the real truth
If I had a second chance in life
This what I'd do
I buy you flowers talk to you for hours
Give you truth
I listen to you when you're hurt
I shoulda went to church with you
But my credentials didn't work
I still should've worked with you
I should've left them lil' hoes
Alone and came home
But I blamed the moments on you
Though I was in the wrong
You checked my phone and I
Checked you 'bout it
We never talked it over
Instead we just sexted 'bout it
I said, "I'm comin' over"
You turned up and flexed about it
I hit yo mama phone
She said, "Y'all get it together"
She don't know what we on
My response was whatever
I'm ego trippin' however
I hate to see you gone
She gave me that dial tone
I should've gave you more trust
More love, no lies, more us
'Cause when my motorcycle crashed
And everyone left
You was that angel at surgery
Sayin' I ain't done yet, real shit
I know saints, I know sinners, I know bosses
I know pain, I know wins, I know losses
My loyalty is sensitive so
Please don't cross me
My loyalty is sensitive so
Please don't cross me
I came to redeem myself
All I need is God's help
It's a millions of miracles
Show me the real you, the real truth
What would you do?
Would you put the pills down?
Throw out the lean too?
Treat your baby mama right and
Make way for your kids?
Peace with your enemies
Keep the water under the bridge?
