[Verse 1]
Suspended in time
I'm standing in place
A knife in my back
They smile in my face
A cross on my back
And a gun on my waist
Fuck ’em all, fuck 'em all
I swear that I mean it
40 lashes on my back and I still ain't yo nigga
40 caliber barking, it make sparks in the night
I hit the city for business and take off in a flight
It’s first-class or my ass ain't going nowhere
If being fly was a crime they'd give me the chair
I've been talking with God and he talk to me back
I seen the light and now I know where l'm supposed to be at
Whatever rich look like, well I'm supposed to be that
I'm standing tall through it all, I see through the fog
I'm getting closer to the sun and they want me to fall
I’m getting higher, Lord Messiah
You listen, I call
[Verse 2]
Suffer my wrath, a labor of love
I pray for salvation, the stars up above
I’m floating on air, I'm rolling on dubs
I’m pouring this syrup, it's slowing my blood
I lost my mind out there looking for truth
Tried to lose my heart, but that's harder to do
Searching for the time, but that's harder to find
The wickedness I seen would make a cherubim cry
When I was a baby my crib was a caddy
Cruising the street, rest in peace to my daddy
The shadow of death, yeah I live in the valley
Came from the pavement, the gutters and alleys
I said goodbye to the person I was
Changing every day to a person I love
See the light from the ice make it harder to see
The shadows in the dark always following me
