[Verse 1 – Flame]
Nothing in this world will ever be peaches and cream
That’s just in everyday living, not mentioning spiritual things
I get sick and tired of hard times, it’s hard to renew my mind
Hard to put the past behind when you’re feeling blind
I grew up seeing the same ol’ murders
The same ol’ thugs in the same ol’ swervers
Sometimes I was afraid to walk through the hood
I know we say it, but ain’t all good, I’m keeping it real
My daddy came home, he was robbed
Mom on disability and daddy lost his job
So where that leave me at? I go to school with dirty shoes and wack ball caps
I’m in the hall catching all laughs
I’m trying to stay focused ‘cause this locust is real
Went to kick it but my homie got killed, I’m under all pressure
The Lord blessed a young ghetto child like Flame
I’m still living through the suffering and pain
[Chorus – J.R.]
Lord I know that you already love me
And you want me to walk by my faith
But it’s hard for me to see you when there’s no good around
So I need you to open my heart so I can love you more
[Verse 2 – Flame]
It kinda makes me laugh ‘cause it’s been a long time coming
Messed up so many times, but yet I’m still growing
See it hurt when my grandmother died
I’m in the hospital room over her bed looking her in the eyes
She always said go to church and serve the Lord
And put him first over everything, especially money and cars
She had a major impact on who I am now
Bowing down worshiping and sending praises up loud
But yet she’s gone, and the same bad things are going on
It’s hard for lil’ Flame to stay strong but yet I hold on
Life is so short, we only passin’ through
Able to catch you a laugh or two
I seen a lady last week getting beat down
And thirteen year old girls getting freaked down
Now you can tell we in the last days
The world has turned away from God, now we livin’ in our own ways
Since I done been saved, the death angel done passed over
My door was covered by the blood straight from Jehovah
See I’m grateful for the way of escape from being hateful
The dollar doesn’t make you, power doesn’t make you
I done seen it all, nothing new under the sun
He made a way out so I had to run
I’m tired of poverty, ghetto areas, and trife livin’
I’m trying to elevate to Christ livin’, his righteous life we livin’
[Chorus – J.R.]
Lord I know that you already love me
And you want me to walk by my faith
But it’s just so hard to see you when there’s no good around
So I need you to open my heart so I can love you more
[Verse 3 – Flame]
Who else can fill the void straight from all the love that I lost
Except the one who shed all his blood at the cross?
I didn’t ask to be born into this world at all
But through God’s grace, I was created to praise God
It gets really hard, I was born right into sin
I was headed for hell before my life even began
But since I’m here now, through Christ I’ll make the best of it
I trust God, so I’ll let him do the rest
How else could I have peace in this life of crime?
How else could I have peace when the battle’s in my mind?
How else could I have peace with a broken heart?
I wish it was the end like Noah’s ark
It’ll be all over, no more pain, no more sufferin’
No more games, no more thuggin’, no more hustlin’
I praise God for eternal life, the Mediator
Who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and we call him Jesus Christ!
[Chorus – J.R.]
Lord I know that you already love me
And you want me to walk by my faith
But it’s just so hard to see you when there’s no good around
So I need you to open my heart so I can love you more
