I come to you hungry and tired 
You give me food  let me sleep 
I come to you weak 
You give me strength  and that's deep 
Called me a sheep 
And lead me to green pastures 
Only askin' that I keep the focus 
In between the chapters 
You give me the word 
And only axe that I interprete 
And give me the eyes 
If I may recognize the serpent 
You know I ain't perfect 
But you'd like me to try 
Unlike the devil who just wants me to lie 
'Til I die 
Lord why is it that 
I go through so much pain? 
All I saw was black 
All I felt was rain 
I come to you because it's you who knows 
Showed me dat everything was black 
Because my eyes were closed 
You gave me the light 
And let me bask in your glory 
So it was only right that 
When you ax for this story 
Put it together 
To do our dogs some good 
Our dogs being 
Brothers and sisters of the hood 
Plenty of times you should help my way 
But I hid 
And I remember once you held me close 
But I slid 
It was somethin' that 
I just had to see 
That you wanted me to see 
So I could be what you wanted me to be 
And I think I've seen it 
''cause I don't feel the same 
Matter fact I know I've seen it 
I can feel the change 
It's strange 
But it's got me beatin' down your door 
But I've never known love like this before 
It's a wonderful feelin' 
To get away from the pain 
And up under the ceiling 
I get away from the rain 
And the strain that I feel when I'm here 
Is gone 
I know real, so I wipe away the tear 
It's on 
And I almost lost faith when you 
Took my man 
Monte, Paso, Jay's brother Dan 
And I fear that what I'm sayin' 
Won't be heard until I'm gone 
But it's all good 
''cause I really didn't expect to live long 
So if it takes for me to suffer 
For my brother to see the light 
Give me pain 'til I die 
But please Lord, treat him right
