J.Relic - Set Me Free (Special Version) Lyrics

I came a long way from the gutter
Where a brother might sell some crack rock to a mother
'Cause his daddy aint home, and he gotta feed his sister
He remember drive-bys when them bullets barely missed him
What he supposed to do
If you tear all the baskets down how he supposed to shoot
Less you put pistol in his hand lets take a closer view
How the ecology of poverty damages the psychology
Alters the toxicology
With liquor, weed and pills
Might start sipping on some sizzurp
Its all fun and games til your kidneys start to hizzurt
And then your brain go berserk have you living a time lapse
Take good care of yourself, 'Cause you wont get this time back
Go head and rewind that, trust you dont wanna miss it
Feeling like I'm chance, missing mamas coco butta kisses
I'm just a black man tryna duck mandatory sentence
Aint no need to go to court with only God as my witness

I was a slave it was the Lord who set me free
Gave me the power to be all that I can be
My mother smile every time she look at me
So would you look at me

I was a slave it was the Lord who set me free
Gave me the power to be all that I can be
My father smile every time he look at me
So would you look at me

I feel like this hate in my mind,
I need to release from carrying this pain in my mind
Answers I was racing to find, I was wasting my time
Decided I would wait for a sign from the great and divine
Supreme being master creator, my Lord and my Savior
Had a limit on my vision, I aint account for his favor
I'm speaking truthfully, the truth indeed will truly set you free
Places you wanted to be
Things you never thought you'd see
All in his plan for you
He got a plan or two to see you prosper
I'm speaking my experience on what is written in his Gospel
I look back with 20/20 vision in hindsight
Of the traps that were set when I was chasing the limelight
Popularity a double edge sword, no need to say more
No matter the decision you make, one day you pay for it
Listen closely play boy, I'm just kicking this knowledge
So that you never have to be another slave to the Dollar
Now listen

I was a slave it was the Lord who set me free
Gave me the power to be all that I can be
My mother smile every time she look at me
So would you look at me

I was a slave it was the Lord who set me free
Gave me the power to be all that I can be
My father smile every time he look at me
So would you look at me
