[Intro:]
I speak on behalf of the people
Hope, Faith
We all got a story, this is me
[Verse 1:]
Okay, please forgive me father all the sinning I done did
All the dirt I had to do
All the trouble I´ve been in
Went through trials and tribulations every day to make some ends
I´m a walkin´ testimony still I stand yet again
You don´t know shit that I been through all this pain ain´t that the truth
So much tears that I done cried feeling like I ain´t got shit to lose
Why my granny passed away why my daughter didn´t stay
Wish they both was here today oh Lord in Jesus name
I done been through hell and back momma dodgin´ heart attacks
Ain´t no A/C in the house just a broken thermostat
Bill collectors on my line please don´t fuckin´ call me back
Got me stressin´ about this shit ain´t no way I could relax
I was only eighteen ain´t no money comin´ fast
Had no choice but turn to God take some trouble of her back
Everything just goin´ wrong feel like nothin´ goin´ right
I just seen my homie Dale and he die within the night
Boy these streets ain´t nothin´ nice had to make way out the hood
Don´t nobody give a damn had to make sure we was good
Just like that before you knew it I had got my record deal
When you make it from the bottom just imagine how it feel
Lord knows them niggas hate everybody had a doubt
Who this nigga think he is that little black boy from the south
They was laughin´ at me then ain´t no laughin´ at me now
And for those who don´t believe ask em now who run the town
Ain´t no way I´m givin´ up ain´t no way I´m givin´ in
I done lost it all before can´t go through this shit again no (no)
Lord forgive me for what I´m about to do forgive me for my sins for the known for the unknown amen
[Verse 2:]
Let me get it back to legit to quit porsche got two percented tint
Bitch I made so many hits look how quickly they forget
Go ahead and count me out you can talk behind my back
Don´t give a fuck about what you say so you think my music wack
That ain´t what my banker said couple million wired in
Hope I see a hundred more that´s before retirement
Motivation on you hoes ain´t no waitin´ on the dough
Heard they prayin´ that I fail tell them Ace will never fold
I´m a walkin´ testimony and I mean just what I say
Looked my daughter in her eyes right before she passed away
Watched them doctors pull the plug don´t wanna live another day
This was all in God´s fate could not be no other way
How I did it, I kept my faith
They tried to break me but there ain´t no way
I kept my focus whipped up the potion
And when you make it out the struggle you the chosen
I seen the light oh glory glory trials and tribulations my life is a story
And everything I did to make it made me who I am today
We the Best is in my blood ain´t no father around to thank
I´m a lion in this field and my heart is made of steel
Catch me speedin´ to the top hollerin´ God take the wheel
Have mercy and even though we all are not perfect
Forgive me
I speak on behalf of the people
Hope, Faith
We all got a story, this is me
