What's Good?

What's good son? Is the greeting on the block,
Where the crime don't stop,
And the guns go pop,
Every other day another man they slay,
I'm down on my needs and to God I pray,
"I need an escape Lord, I gotta find a way out",
I'm 12 years old and my parents, they just stay out,
On the street,
Holdin' heat
Or lookin' for a quick high,
Another day goes by,
I know I'm gonna die,
Unless you got my back,
You know I'm stayin strapped,
With the word, not the gat,
Haters catch a heart attack,
When we role through Lord,
Me and you Lord,
Thought they knew Lord,

You've been so good Lord,
You've been so good to me Lord,
Jesus Christ he's just nice,
He's what's good!
He's what's good!

Faith, Hope & Love
