Kendrick Lamar

I take a sip of Hennessy and then get pissy drunk

I ain't a drinker I'm a thinker call it what you want

But if you turn your back know that you just missed your chance

To witness the realest shit that's ever been known to men

I found myself losing focus at a Sunday service

Embarrassed so I start questioning God "What is my purpose?"

He said to live the way he did that's all he want from me

Spread the word and witness he rose on the first Sunday

I said alright enthused that my lord gave a listen

I opened my Bible in search to be a better Christian

And this from a person that never believed in religion

But shit my life is so fucked up man; I can't help but give in

I'm giving testimonies to strangers I never met

Hopped on the poor pit and told them how I was truly blessed

Felt like I'm free from all my sins when the service was over

Walked out the church then got a card that my homie was murdered

Then lost my faith again

Chorus

I had dreams of holding a 9 milla to raise killa

X and Y's my eyes fill up

Each day it gets more realer orangutan's bang like gorillas

It's jungle when the nigga's ensue

The rat's lurking the vulture's circling the surface

Cat's lying through they teeth my nigga didn't deserve it

I flirted with the ideal of caressing the steel

To make karma come faster then she normally will

It's ill to see my faith try and leave me

It's so hard to get it to get rid of it it's easy

I'm tryna reach cloud 9 that's what my nigga's 'bout

But it never rain in California unless the pistols is out

Until then my feet planted on the ground shadowboxing my conscience

Until my faith start responding and if I get no answer just know I tried

I should have never looked into His Son's eyes

Chorus

This for my people that stressing whenever time's is hard

Your mind's slipping wondering "Is there really a God?"

Knowing you shouldn't think that way and trying to freeze your brain

But whenever there's pain that feeling forever remains

We can't believe what we can't see and reality seems stronger than prayer

Cause you tried to change your life and now you live in a wheelchair

And your son was born with cancer and he live in urgent care

At the tender age of 12 and you feel that no one cares

Searching for answers that's human nature you ain't in the wrong

Just know when you feeling that way there's (?) in the roll

I watched people I know pray and catch the Holy Ghost

And wonder why I ain't ever caught that feeling before

Maybe they know him better or I don't know no better

Well what I do know is that he's real and he lives forever

So the next time you feel like your worlds about to end

I hope you studied because hes testing your faith again

Id rather not live like there isnt a God

Then die and find out there really is

Think about it
