26 Years, 17 Days

I was looking for God at my grandmother's house

underneath the cushions on the couch

I looked all around side to side up and down

that man was no where to be found

So I called my grandmama on the phone

said old lady you best get home

cause God aint where you said he would be

and there's something that I really need to speak to him about immediately

She said boy tell Granny what's wrong is there something I can do

I said big mama now it's a sensitive issue

and Lord knows I don't wanna worry you

but I need somebody to talk to

It's done been 26 years 17 days

been to 5 different prisons got 2 babies on the way

and they say it'll be a waste of time to pray

seeing that I'm going to hell anyway

I done smoked weed with the best of ya'll

shot at all the rest of ya'll

my heart hurts like an old man with high cholesterol

the preacher said that I'm the dirtiest dude he ever saw

shouldn't even be livin'

and he a Christian

Shoulda been dead like 17 times for 17 crimes I committed

took 'em all to trial and got accuited

Left wavin' my middle finger in the air whispered in the prosecutor's ear, yeah I did it

I done stole everything from dreams to wedding rings

auctioned off my soul for material things

but lately its been kinda botherin' me

I guess that turtle always catches up with the rabbit eventually

Somebody loves you baby whoa whoa whoa somebody loves you baby
