Why does everybody wanna paint it black Rollin stones burn the paper never get it back All the negative energy you should take it back You gotta stand by your morals and never sway from that Sometimes i'm guilty of wanting things that i never had I forget the be great full sometimes i tend to lack But lord forgive me I stay forgettin I get lost in envy It's like i never have plenty nah Money and the fame it's the root of all evil Taste so good but it turns out lethal Family and the friends You gonna need them Count up all your blessings Thank god you're alive Thank god you're alive Now i got the wings to fly I can finally see the light If there's love there's jealousy If there's love they envy me Feel like loves my enemy I pray a lot and sin to much Runnin from the envious I'm not tryin be the one to bite the dust To much money man that ain't enough I make mistakes when i try to rush Get the fuck out my face with all fuss Yeah i'm alone with my conscience I thought i had me some profits But they turned out to be losses I thought the devil had caught me Now i'm proceeding with caution Beggin forgiveness to often I'm wide awake in my coffin I hate to feel like i lost it Sometimes i'm guilty of wanting things that i never had I forget the be great full sometimes i tend to lack But lord forgive me I stay forgettin I get lost in envy It's like i never have plenty nah Money and the fame it's the root of all evil Taste so good but it turns out lethal Family and the friends You gonna need them Count up all your blessings Thank god you're alive Thank god you're alive Now i got the wings to fly I can finally see the light
