Ghetto RepentanceA Poem by Evangela
Lord Father, please forgive for I have sinned
I'm sorry for giving in to temptation bedding all those men laying down, spreading my legs selling my soul when you made my body worth more than gold Lord I'm sorry for my lies playing around and teasing people heartbroken, and I'm the reason telling them I love them and I'm gonna be there knowing I'm not I'm just f*****g with their heads, using them for what they got Lord please forgive me Sometimes I think I'm insane "lunchin out", losing my temper drinking and smoking, killing my brain this s**t is "cloutin" my mind but the drinking and the drugging, numb my pain Lord I got a confession I'm not gonna lie I love the way I feel when I'm getting high Lord I know I'm wrong with all this self destruction and sin Everyday I'm sinking lower letting the Devil win Lord I ask for forgiveness, I cause so much strife Setting bamas up, helping take away their lives out there on the block stickin em up and robbing them for everything they own Lord I need saving, my mind is gone I'm hearing voices getting urges to keep committing my sins Lord help me, come save me I don't want the Devil to win He's all up on my back speaking to my soul got me hating this life got my heart turning cold Lord I didn't mean to do what I did I was born in this life bred since I was a kid I had to survive I done sold drugs to all those people poisoning their lives got em out their selling their babies and possessions in their home, when their money is gone all awhile I'm getting rich, eating good no remorse walking around like a celebrity in my hood I know it's messed up I know I'm wrong but what can I say Lord I'm standing before you on bended knee attempting to pray I'm repenting confessing my sins asking for your forgiveness Forgive me today Lord I need your guidance I don't know what to do I don't want to walk with the Devil I want to walk with you © 2008 Evangela |
