Ghetto Repentance

Ghetto Repentance

A 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
