A man asks for a joint
He said it's been a long, hard day
Miss, can you spare me a penny
I got kids at home I gotta feed
Things took a turn back in '03
It's been a slow burn recovery
They don't teach you bout these things back in grade school
And ma I need some new blue jeans
Oh I'm lookin for my hallelujah
Please I'm just asking for a few
Let someone hear my cries
Lord I've done my time
Lord I've done my time
My old lover
Disguised as my mother
They both left me
At least she gave me two little blessings
I want to give my kids everything
But I've got nothing left of me
Tired of living in quicksand
Been tryna get new feet
Oh I'm lookin for my hallelujah
Please I'm just asking for a few
Let someone hear my cries
Lord I've done my time
Lord I've done my time
Lord forgive me for my sins
I wanna be a better man
Lord forgive me for my sins
I need to be, need to be a better man
Oh I'm lookin for my hallelujah
Please I'm just asking for a few
Let someone hear my cries
Lord I've done my time
Lord I've done my time
