Psalm 51:5 Lyrics by Donny Goines

The Guggenrhyme

0

[Produced by J. Cannon]
[Verse 1: Donny Goines]
Caught between Plymouth rock and a hard place
God bless America, our faith
Where young boys idolize Scarface
And Heaven is a place so far away, God's grace
If you're listenin', pray for me
The devil don't take another day from me
And Jesus make another way for me
I don't wanna burn in Hell just to make money
Here's my confession
Three Hail Mary's, gotta thank the reverend
Cut my losses, count my blessings
Hopin' I can walk through the gates of Heaven
[Hook: J. Cannon]
Standin' on the front lines, livin' on the dark side, walk with me
I'm a born sinner
Tryna stop the riot within but everybody want a war with me
I'm a born sinner
Hope ya praying for me, yes lord hope ya praying for me
I'm a born sinner
Hate who I am, a born sinner, born sinner
[Verse 2: Donny Goines]
This for Mike Brown, Sean Bell
Every brother trapped in a dark cell
Born sinner, our hell
Coulda been just another Bronx tale
Ya'll don't know my story, real talk
Crack babies, stillborns
Most wanted pictures, billboard
This the life that you free men kill for
In blood we baptize
Slow death, fast life
Huey P, Black Pride
Sins of our father ask why
Hand on the Bible, other on an all black rifle
Prayin' for my soul and survival
It's the life we live
So I'm nailed on the cross next to Christ for sin
[Hook: J. Cannon]
[Verse 3: Donny Goines]
From the grave to the cradle, livin' backwards so hateful
Killin' our brothers Cane, Abel
Hungry kids at the table
Cops at the door it can break you, struggled but I'm grateful
That boy's a man now
Own two, I stand proud
The Devil gave me handouts
This nightmare's my whereabouts
I rebuke Satan, in the name of Christ, King David
Know I'm God's favorite
So every night I praise him
Remember the love just so I forget the hatred
And Lord knows I ain't perfect
Still dancin' with the serpent
Taxes, death certain
But the pain gave me purpose
[Hook: J. Cannon]
[Outro: Kerry Washington]
If everyone is evil, if the deck is always stacked, if everyone I love is a monster, if no one is worth saving, what's the point? I'm asking you, I'm actually asking you, what is the point?
