Give It To God Lyrics[Verse 1]
Fell out with the ones from the sandbox
I ain't get to make it to the beach with 'em
I thought that I would be with 'em, but that's alright
That's alright, that's alright, huh
Look at how sore my hands got
That's 'cause I used to feed niggas
It's funny we fell out over a small fight
Small fight, yeah, huh
Can't wait 'til they get interviewed or interrogated
I wanna see who keep it real 'bout how a nigga made it
I wish you niggas would lie on my name, on my baby
'Cause if you know, you know behind this music, shit is crazy
I don't promote it, but I ain't the opposite, I just carry myself well
Look at my accomplishments, I'm from the hood, can't you tell?
When that gunpowder fly, promise you I know that smell
They told me I was 'posed to die, crazy I was only twelve
[Chorus]
I give it all to God or whoever's watchin' over me
The Devil's approachin', don't let him close to me
Wrap me in Your arms as I go to sleep
Don't ask how I did it, just know
I give it all to God or whoever's watchin' over me
The Devil's approachin', don't let him close to me
Wrap me in Your arms as I go to sleep
Don't ask how I did it, just know I give it all to God
[Verse 2]
He had my back when shit was rough
I wasn't always hard, I wasn't always tough
I was only a kid when I realized I had enough
Avoidin' my elders whenever it was time to discuss
Never knew my childhood wouldn't last long
But we know time don't stop for nobody, it's mandatory
They thought they knew how I would turn out, boy, they had it wrong
Had to block out people's opinions, it ain't that important
But you know I don't dwell on the past, I keep movin' forward
It's sad findin' out the ones around you ain't loyal
It really ain't that hard to keep it real, let me show you
From Cherry Street, woodchip on my shoulder
A diamond in the rough is what you call that
Understand what I did wasn't a small task
For them to hold it down for me was all I asked
So don't ask me how I do it, no, don't ask me how I got through it
[Chorus]
'Cause I give it all to God or whoever's watchin' over me
The Devil's approachin', don't let him close to me
Wrap me in Your arms as I go to sleep
Don't ask how I did it, just know
I give it all to God or whoever's watchin' over me
The Devil's approachin', don't let him close to me
Wrap me in Your arms as I go to sleep
Don't ask how I did it, just know
I give it all to God or whoever's watchin' over me
The Devil's approachin', don't let him close to me (The Devil's approachin')
Wrap me in Your arms as I go to sleep (As I go to sleep)
Don't ask how I did it, just know
I give it all to God or whoever's watchin' over me (Whoever's watchin' over me)
The Devil's approachin', don't let him close to me (Don't let him close to me)
Wrap me in Your arms as I go to sleep (As I go to sleep)
Don't ask how I did it, just know I give it all to God
[Outro]
I give it all to God, I give it all to God, I give it all to God
I give it all to God, I give it all to God, I give it all to God
