Dear Lord, I know You don`t condone
The things I be doin` out here in these streets
And I hope that, I pray that You can overlook
The wrong that I had done in my life

I don`t know no other way to survive out here
I got a whole bunch of people dependin` on me
Just walk with me, walk with me

Busslin` and gamblin`, hit licks scramblin`
Bricks, I`m out here handlin`, I`m pimpin` and I`m payin` the rent
Didn`t choose this dirty game, this dirty game, it chose me
Every city love cocaine, they`ll get it from him
If they don`t get it from me

So I get cross-country with that thang
Makin` that crisp, lettin `em hang
Bangin` that `Pac, if I die tonight, least mama know I didn`t die in vain
`Cause I put up sum from every sale so all my children can live well
Might go to heaven, might go to hell
But just put me in woodgrain lane Deville

I wonder sometime how life would be if it was no such thing as D
But then I put that sweet down `cause that bulls**t don`t apply to me
`Cause out here on the real streets a dreamer always stay sleep
`Cause out here the strong survive
And now they didn`t die from thankin` weak

Gotta play for keeps, gotta play it hard, still tryna get right with God
Still read my Bible lone `cause Reverend do wrong, still livin` fraud
Tonight if I get down on my knees
And ask the Lord to forgive me, please
You thank He gon` hear me?
`Cause tomorrow I`m still gon` be slangin` ki’s

Lord, I`m just a G
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?
I just can`t give it up

I`m riskin` all out in the streets
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?

See, I was born in the ghetto, manye, I was raised in the hood
And unless you lived it yourself, it just can`t be understood
People think hustlin` is cool or hustlin` is live
They don`t understand hustlers only hustlin` to survive

They wished they lived in the `burbs, wished they didn`t have to hang
Out on corners in low-income house in projects and slang
They wish their daddy was home, mama wasn`t on drugs
And they didn`t have to grow up to be dealers and thugs

Po` children got aspirations and dreams just like the wealthy
But it`s hard when that environment you live in ain`t healthy
You ain`t givin` no hope, nobody showin` you pride
And you live with all this anger and frustration inside

Dog, don`t let nobody tell you what you can or you can`t do
Just `cause they funky ass couldn`t do it, they ain`t you
You can be who you wanna be, live life how you feel
Just put your faith in the Lord, now that`s keepin` it trill fo` real

Lord, I`m just a G
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?
I just can`t give it up

I`m riskin` all out in the streets
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?

I wonder if it`s a heaven up there for real G`s
For all the ni**az in the game that`s been slangin` cheese
For all them boys on them swangers and their fifth wheel
I`m out here riskin` my life, ni**az shife but I stay trill

I pray so much, I wonder if the Lord love me
I think He do but I`m so caught up in my thug deep
The feds bug me, followin` me around for three
Ni**az couldn`t catch me so they hit me with conspiracy

You know that that`s the other level of the game
Ain`t got s**t on me but some ni**az said my name
So here they come, they thang tight
They playin` shife, no Bun ,givin` me life

I ain`t goin` back, I`m a make `em kill me
I`ma bust back, f**k the pen, you feel me?
Wish I can hug my momma and kiss my baby girl
I know it`s a better place than livin` in this dirty world

Lord, I`m just a G
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?
I just can`t give it up

I`m riskin` all out in the streets
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?

Some people win and some people lose
Some always cryin` the blues, yeah
Some people win, some people lose
Some always bein` misused

Lord, I`m just a G
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?
Just can`t give it up

I`m riskin` all out in the streets
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?

`Cause I need You, Lord, right now
I need You, right now
Need Ya, I need Ya, I need Ya
I need Ya `cause I`m goin` and livin` too fast, yeah

Lord, I`m just a G
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?
I just can`t give it up

I`m riskin` all out in the streets
Out here livin` fast
How long can it last?

Out here livin` too fast, how long can it last?
I can`t get up, Lord, can You help me?
Lord, can You help me? Can You help me?
Can You help me, right now, yeah
