One to grow on
Living in a place where there is no crime
People only die from old time
And I'm like, how can I be there
I swear
After a hard day's work, wishing for a peace of mind
But how can I sleep in this danger zone
When after a while I'm so used to it
That I'm not even scared of coming home
Everybody saying that I should move
And I'm like, yeah, I know
Doing that soon
Knowing to myself that the money ain't right
And I really gotta stay, another night
And another night
And another night
Reaching for my wish list like
Didn't I tell Santa I didn't want that bike
Damn
Didn't I tell Santa I was tired of this fight
Wish me well
Can you save my life
Just another black man trying to do right
In these trying times
When nothing I do seems to go right
Then forgive my soul
Just one of them days
Wishing, that I was white
Can you get that there
I need another light
Too much stress in this sacrifice
Than I bargained for
Heavy on my shoulders till I'm feeling sore
Wish I could
Snap my fingers and make this right
But when I wake up in the morning
It's back to life
Like nothing ever happened
And that's my life
