Kool G. Rap & Dj Polo - Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous lyrics

Why must we live afraid , So much violence in the world today , Lord please take this pain away,Before it becomes to late.

Young and restless tryin to make it in this dirty game,

the last year of my life just aint been the same,

born an alcoholic son tryin to hold on,

no love in this world is it all gone,

a drug deal gone bad now my homie dead,

found at his door step bullet in his head,

now his girlfriend bout to have his kid,

no father surrounded by all of this,

turn the otha cheek and try to forgive,

but its so hard in this life we live,

put a gun to his head took his own life,

i hear her cryin with his pictures lonely everynight,

dressed in all black tears steady comin down,

she dont beleave me when i tell her gods still around,

my boy jodi gone at 29,

lord if your there please show me a sign,

25 to life man stop and think,

in this dope game life aint worth a thing,

so busy i aint tryin to ignore ya,

keep ya head up homie i'll pray for ya.

Why must we live afraid , So much violence in the world today , Lord please take this pain away,Before it becomes to late

Take my pain away X 3

Lord forgive us for we know not what we do,

so much violance i know we dissapointed you,

too many wars racial hate why must we live in this world afraid,

more soldiers dead on the front page no hope suicide bombers everyday,

more guns more soldiers more planes headed to iraq aint it a shame,

im on my knees lord please wont you save us from all this violence murder and hatred,

take away my fear wipe away my tears such a beautiful world why aint we happy here,

i guess we selfish wont you help us when will it stop there aint no tellin,

so sincere these words out my mouth is this the end of the world that they been talkin bout,

all these divorces all these abortions, the same sin committed over and over again,

so much evil in the world today, but i aint gave up yet im still clenchin to my faith,

Why must we live afraid , So much violence in the world today , Lord please take this pain away,Before it becomes to late

take my pain away X 3

Why must we live afraid , So much violence in the world today , Lord please take this pain away,Before it becomes to late

take my pain away X 3
