And we'll introduce you to the starting lineup
We're gonna introduce now the North Clayton Eagles
Coached by James Gwynn
His starters number 21 Tauheed Epps
Yeah
Prayer for our sins I
Prayer for our souls the
Tears that we're cryin'
Let 'em all be forgiven
Let it all be forgiven
When your dream when your dream dream dream
Just let it all be forgiven
When your dreams turn to nightmares
Transactions turn to Nike Airs
Went to Greenbriar Mall and bought five pairs
I stayed in the Creek junkies used to preach
In the d**e game tryna reach my peak and go undefeated
I pleaded with the judge this my first offense
High school b-ball I'm tryna get a scholarship
No ACC SEC ClayCo APD
On a bumpy road like an ATV EBT
Used to give me peace
I smile on the outside inside discreet
As far as the past wish I could press delete
Let my dogs off the leash
Rather buy it than lease
Or get murdered in the streets fine line
Who can learn
Pray for the children
I pray
I pray for our healing
I pray
I know you feel it
I know you feel it
Just let it all be forgiven
Lord forgive him yeah
Just let it all be forgiven
Lord forgive him yeah
Your sins let 'em all be forgiven Lord forgive him
Dead lies that is how we livin'
Lord forgive him that is how we livin' yeah
Just let it all be forgiven
Got a phone call from Lil' Fate
Somebody shot his son he didn't make it
My head achin' hands started shakin'
Foul beyond flagrant
He said Bro what I'm supposed to do
I paused remorseful
We been partners since public school
Kids ain't supposed to die before us
As a parent it's apparent ain't no parents
Seeing stops once we leave the carriage
Cold of the streets react with the heat to create balance
One of the biggest revenge is prayer
Me Sean Dre and Chris was there
Guess Flesh won't spend Christmas there
But in spirit know you hearin' it loud and clear
Whole family miss you as we stare off in the atmosphere
No fear
Prayer for our sins I
Prayer for our souls the
Tears that you're cryin'
Just let 'em all be forgiven Lord forgive him
Let 'em all be forgiven Lord forgive him
Just let 'em all be forgiven Lord forgive him
Your sins let 'em all be forgiven Lord forgive him
Hey I don't know need to hear this
Dead lies that is how we livin'
But if you're doin' somethin' to make
Just let 'em all be forgiven
If you're doin' somethin' to make your parents have to bury you
You may want to slow down
Everything got a consequence whether good or bad
Rest in Peace Shaylin
Bigg I love you bruh
You know what I'm sayin'
My other partner lost his son too right before the 18th birthday
We out here bulls**t for what
Pray for my soul
You don't get another life
This ain't no practice life
Pray for my sins
These tears that I'm crying let them all be forgiven
Let them all be forgiven
That's it that's it
In all his majesty and might his brilliance and his beauty
His black and his blue
Boy still slips from their lips when they address him
Still linger in the velvet of his dreams the scene unseen
Black boy fightin' for manhood in a world
That still sees through Jim Crow lens
Oh them love him in his place
Separate away torn disconnected passive submissive and shufflin'
Oh now just turn that shufflin' into dancin'
'Cause you know them love black boys dancin'
And singin' and ballin'
You know them love black boys' strength
But don't love black boys
Let me see your hands
