Downfall

My people prayed on my Downfall
As I stood tall through the rainfall
Putting wholes in the ground yall
Family all wrong
Friends become family
And family become the enemy
Sitting down at the table g
Dear God where the plate at
I thank you for the bread that you gave me though
No loyalty I stood tall
No loyalty I stood tall
My life under the gun
Somewhere under the sun
Never made a bad move
Cause every move that I made was the right one
Standing tall through my downfall
That I caused through the rainfall
Felt good to be out y'all
Then I prayed to go back yall
But I die before that y'all
Worked hard for the thangs that I got
And I still ain't got shit
Except the tattoos on my chest
I pray everyday for the best
Then I learn the rest
Don't ever take the test
If you do just pass it
Don't fail like the rest
My people prayed on my downfall
As I stood tall through the rainfall
Putting wholes in the ground yall
Family all wrong
Friends become family
And family become the enemy
Sitting down at the table g
Dear God where the plate at
I thank you for the bread that you gave me though
No loyalty I stood tall
No loyalty I stood tall
