My soul is so dirty 
I've been hustlin' everyday 
Now I know that I should pray 
But I wonder if He hear what I'd say 

I know my momma didn't raise me this way 
But I gotta feed my family 
If I could just make it through one more day 
I could live the right way 

Lord, you know it's been 12-15 years I've been in the game 
The way I live this life, forgive me, I know it's a shame 
But who'd a thought I'd make it this far 
From all the brothers and others that I've lost 
I know I'm fortunate not to be one of those souls you choose 
And I'm sorry for the ones I sent 
Down here is to live or die, what was I suppose to do? 
You know I wasn't quite ready 
For this soul of mine to come before you 

My soul is so dirty 
I've been hustlin' everyday 
Now I know that I should pray 
But I wonder if He hear what I'd say 

I know I may not have been right but I've been fair 
I guess that's why you saw it to keep me here 
You must have somethin' better for me 
Just give me a sign Lord, please show me 
Just want to thank you for the ones you've placed 
I pray you watched over them, 'cause you watched over me 
Until you clean us up Lord, like we should be 
I know you will eventually 

My soul is so dirty 
I've been hustlin' everyday 
Now I know that I should pray 
But I wonder if He hear what I'd say 

Please watch over my babies and they mommas, too 
'Cause they don't know what they daddy do 
But this one thing, I promise you 
I won't let my seeds do the same thing, too 
Lord, bless my momma, you know how much she means to me 
Despite the way I live, I know she still loves me 
She's up in church, cryin' and prayin' for me 
And I'mma try to see her there on Sunday, I said maybe 

My soul is so dirty 
I've been hustlin' everyday 
Now I know that I should pray 
But I wonder if He hear what I'd say
