Lord knows I cry sometimes
But all though I'm hurting I give you my burdens
And I want to die sometimes, but you say just trust me
No one can love me the way you do
I never made the necessary precautions for losses
Through all this my heart gets exhausted
From coffins they toss us
I've seen the judge more times than I can ever care to count
Got a fair amount of folks in jail
But I'm too broke to bail them out
This world has no remorse
Especially when you black and poor
We looked at as collateral damage
Your children trapped in war
I've seen my friends gunned down
I felt pressure from that, ain't nothing but death in the trap
The President's letting it crack
That's why we can't rely on man or the system he's made
I'm peeping these Christians today
How easy they slipping away
I walk by faith through all this hate your bringing me through
Father I'm changing my view cause I know my strength is in you
Lord knows I cry sometimes
But all though I'm hurting I give you my burdens
And I want to die sometimes, but you say just trust me
No one can love me the way you do
My tribulations came and I learned pain is so revealing
In hopelessness there's no concealing doubt
Is this what Job was feeling?
I'm trying to run this race but lately I'm feel left behind
You said that if I trust in man man would fail me every time
I've given my gift back to you
With passion wrapped in every line
My heart my soul my mind is yours
My times the Lord's and every dime
Can't imagine what you feel up there
Your church is such a shame to see
Most of us aren't living nothing close to what we claim to be
Then we wonder why this world will die
Long before receiving you, cause we can't even feed a few
They seeing us but ain't seeing you
I'm fed up sick and tired of seeing
Your believers broke and torn let's put away religion
And start living in your open arms
Lord knows I cry sometimes
But all though I'm hurting I give you my burdens
And I want to die sometimes, but you say just trust me
No one can love me the way you do
