Song: Where's God?
Album: Liven N Hell

V1
Dey alwayz, wanna tryda blame,
video gamez & hip-hop,
as da reason, som krazy foolz,
went out, blasted som copz...
N hell nah, da laws don't like us,
bekuz our skin, is our sin,
alwayz tryna, plant dope on me,
whey dey can't find shit...
Wonderin' when they, my time gon' come,
so I can try, 2 be ready,
puttin it down, not given a damn,
maken millz, 'till I'm buried...
'N I ratha, be 6 feet deep,
den doing time, wit som loserz,
who gon' snitch, n mess with punx,
lettn da system, abuse dem...
Hearn dudez, all da time complainen,
about me, puttn n work,
committn sinz, tryna get ahead,
kuz I'ma gee, from da turf...
N is I wrong, foe toastn foolz,
who try 2 jump me, at skool,
kuz if I don't, defend myself,
I could be n, a deadpool...
N here comez, da white sheetz,
n dey blak & white carz,
always sayn, we look suspicious,
wantn 2 know, who we are...
N always haten, dat Im'a hustla,
on da blok, gettn myne,
reminsen, n kounty jailz,
about dayz, of our livez...

Chorus:
N don't nobody, give a damn about us,
haven 2 live, n da ghetto,
where everyday, I get mean muggz,
why da piza, who all jealous...
haven 2 call out, som foolz trippin,
n not know shit, going on,
kuz I don't think, dat prayn helpz,
if der isn't a God...

V2
Tryna say, dat u gettn endz,
don't mean nathan 2 me,
if u not down, 2 lead yo people,
2 protest, n da streetz...
Hopen I see, my hommyz gone,
up der chilln, n heaven,
n da pigz, don't alwayz harass us,
kuz Im'a well-known felon...
Moven product, on a daily basis,
kuz I don't mess, wit no phonyz,
who get played, foe dey dividinez,
payn chix alimony,
N alot, of deze s.a. foolz,
u might as well, say illegal,
who parentz came, over here had kidz,
wantn funk, wit my people...
Who was brought, on dem slave shipz,
haven 2 fight, foe da kause,
gettn lenched, n sprayd wit hoses,
gettn, by doggz...
Being oppressd, by da racist system,
lockn up, all us blaxx,
now everywhere, I look around,
dey wanna all, bump rap...
Calln me nigga, behind my bak,
sayn I, don't know shit,
comen over, da border trippn,
now dey fleez, on my tipp...
Wantn 2 get, wit a real balla,
who alwayz paknda nine,
haven 2 serve, n bust at foolz,
watchn out, foe onetyme...

V3
Da first thang, pigz gon' tell ya,
is I resisted arrest,
telln my people, dat I'm no good,
so I was strangled, 2 death...
Thrown n jail, by da racist judge,
wondern how, I get money,
knowing whites, don't hire blaxx,
n dis fukked up economy...
So da reason, I can't sleep,
bekuz da shit, is messd up,
n jus bekuz, I'm rolln a benz,
I gotta alwayz, get stopped...
N everytime, I do wake up,
it's n da middle, of da nite,
kuz somebody else, got smoked,
n 2 da whitez, it's alright...
Dat some blax, n da hood got kill
over tryna make snapz,
slagn drugz, dat came off boatz
directly, n da projektz...
N dey hate, dat we gettn kash,
not haven 2, pay no taxes,
wantn blax, 2 stay at da bottom,
kalln da white man master...
Why is it dat, deze white kidz,
is brought up, 2 hate blax,
n racist parentz, disown dey kid,
who wanna listen, 2 rap...
Of us broke, liven n da ghetto,
trippn out, on our livez,
where everyday, I gotz 2 worry,
about foolz, yelln drive-by...
