Never felt I needed you God
And I didn't care,
Never knew how to acknowledge
Something that wasn't there
And back when I was with thugs
I was use to it,
Life threatened, losing friends,
Can't believe I was use to this
But then danger comes to someone
Who you care for,
More than just a bro or another
Punk who went away for robbing stores
I've been stabbed, felt a cold blade
On my throat, and armed men
Outside my door,
Yet still I care for her life more
When I was followed I never
Gave a ****
But he came stalking her and I went
Through an emotional fit
I felt like a father looking after
His child,
Seconds felt like hours
And steps felt like miles
I haven't felt fear like this for
Any of my brothers on the street,
This must be what happens when
My life and karma meets
Because I can't believe I
Caused this pain to others,
All she wanted was to be safe at
Home with her mother
I guess I grew my heart back,
And I took back a will to fight,
If anything bad happened to her
I couldn't forgive myself that night
I asked you to **** me to keep her safe
And I prayed from within,
And if she's ever in danger
I will pray the same thing again
So God if your there I have
One request,
Her life's more valuable so
Take mine if it suits her best
