lirik lagu the black ace - evening prayer
(verse)
god, take this breath i hold in exchange for all my woes
i’ve exhausted all my friends, yeah i’ve made too many foes
it’s a lot to deal with, 21 years, i’ve been a savage
in the way i take from people i love, i micromanage
this ain’t a song of self hate, this more ’bout self-reflect
the way i’m conning all these ye’s, y’all thought my last name must be “west”
i’ve stayed in the east for all my life, i know the coast
but on this journey i’ve been sent on, i can’t find what matters most
is it in love?
left turn on fame street? i’ve lost direction
so i’m speaking to the lord more for that divine intervention
or maybe i need correction?
it’s not the first i’ve messed up
or i’ve blessed up
feeling pressure from no one but me
they say that 2020’s coming but i still can’t see
why, so many times,i’ve lied to no one else but me?
“you know you’ve been doing this forever, can’t you give it up?
we don’t give a d-mn about your life so just go living up”
living up
how many times i let a tear shed? (tear shed)
patient, but i lost the wait so how come i can’t find my bread? (my bread)
life’s not that easy but i’m working hard
regardless of how far i go, i get downtrodden
the soil’s packed down hard
the gr-ss grows, now mow the lawn
except the other side where it’s greener, that’s where my hope lies, (lies)
right next to my old ties, (ties)
cut in pieces ’cause formality ain’t worth it all the time, (time)
crimes committed by innocence that has gone blind
my blinds stay closed for hours at a time
(interlude)
(verse)
i said:
“dear god
tell me, should i fear god?
sell me on these stories of happiness, put me near god
one day, give me so many bucks that they call me ‘deer god’
but i need the doe, just to do what i want
so send me that dough
send me that doe
