Woodie - Take My Soul lyrics
[Woodie - Take My Soul lyrics]
This music thang
I'm doin' it for my family and my homies
Im tryin' to leave some cash in
They pockets before I go
The clock is tickin'
It's just a matter of time
If enemies lay me down to sleep
I pray to the lord my so he'll keep
When i die in this life of hate
I pray to the lord my soul he'll take
In this life of sin
God tell me where do I begin
I've rejected you my whole life
But now im listenin'
Accepted you as my friend
My heart is open hopin' for a change
But, I' still a killer inside
I feel it in my veins
Ain't got the strength to rise
Up out this concrete battlefield
Cuz i still feel the urge to kill
Cuz snoop still ain't got outta jail
Plus my closest homeboys deceased
I gotta seek revenge but who do I avenge
Sometimes I catch myself overlookin'
My true friends
I'm tryin' to see through all the
Lies and deceit to make
Intelligent decisions that'll keep me
On my feet but evil ways make me stray and i
Get caught up in the same shit
Riskin' my life to represent so
Enemies know i'm dangerous livin' that life
This gangbangin' done took it's toll
On the outside i'm fine but
Inside i'm outta control
Tryin' to stay outta prison but
The streets pursuade my goals
When I lay down to die will
Good or evil take my soul livin' that life
This gangbangin' done took it's toll
On the outside i'm fine but
Inside i'm outta control
Tryin' to stay outta prison but
The streets pursuade my goals
When I lay down to die will
Good or evil take my soul
As i'm sittin' in my room oil'n up my strap
I'm thinkin' back on all the
Different pistols that i've packed
All the dirt that i've done
With different weapons and guns
And how much fun I had when I was young
Earnin' my stripes one by one
They added up sin at the scene
I didn't realize it then
But now I understand there's
Consequences for every action
Lord could you forgive me for
My sins up till today
But what if I kill again tomorrow
Does that mean you feel betrayed
Cuz I can't promise you, that i'll do
What the bible tells me not to
If I feel I gots' to ride
Im goin' to ride with or without you
No disrespect intended
Don't take me for satan's child
Cuz 5-0 got my dirty deeds
Gathered up in the gang files
Look at my loyalty
The love that I got for my family
If anybody could
I know you would understand me
So when they call my number
And I take my final breathe and die
Please forgive me for my sins
And let my soul rise to the sky
Livin' that life
This gangbangin' done took it's toll
On the outside i'm fine but
Inside i'm outta control
Tryin' to stay outta prison but
The streets pursuade my goals
When I lay down to die will
Good or evil take my soul livin' that life
This gangbangin' done took it's toll
On the outside i'm fine but
Inside i'm outta control
Tryin' to stay outta prison but
The streets pursuade my goals
When I lay down to die will
Good or evil take my soul
If enemies lay me down to sleep
I pray to the lord my so he'll keep
When i die in this life of hate
I pray to the lord my soul he'll take
I lived another day
Now it's time to live another night
I take it minute by minute
And hope somehow I do it right
I gotta fight to keep hope alive
That snoop will get released
But, it's the red-suited beast
That gets' the blue suited police
Societies already got us marked
As killers, dealers, and thugs
Gang bangers shoot'n them slugs
Drug dealers movin' them drugs
Ain't no love on this side of the tracks
That's why criminals run in packs
Who else gonna have our motherfuckin' backs
You think our president ain't a sinner
He's the cruelist of all he's the one
Killin' the inncocent with missles and bombs
While we just up in the street
Tryin' to maintain human nature
That have enemies so we gangbang
Lord if you could shed any light
Up on this life of mine
I'd be willing to listen to you
At the drop of a dime
Because im suicidal at times
And at times im homicidal
Livin' on the borderline damper
My chances of survival livin' that life
This gangbangin' done took it's toll
On the outside i'm fine but
Inside i'm outta control
Tryin' to stay outta prison but
The streets pursuade my goals
When I lay down to die will
Good or evil take my soul livin' that life
This gangbangin' done took it's toll
On the outside i'm fine but
Inside i'm outta control
Tryin' to stay outta prison but
The streets pursuade my goals
When I lay down to die will
Good or evil take my soul
Lord, I got a question
Will you fogive me for my sins
If I don't regret 'em
Cuz sometimes no matter how hard I try
I feel no remorse
I feel I had to do what I had to do
But then again maybe it's just
The Old-E numbin' the pain
I dunno 'but send Blackbird my Love
If enemies lay me down to sleep
I pray to the lord my so he'll keep
When i die in this life of hate
I pray to the lord my soul he'll take
I'm doin' it for my family and my homies
Im tryin' to leave some cash in
They pockets before I go
The clock is tickin'
It's just a matter of time
If enemies lay me down to sleep

When i die in this life of hate
