Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
You said, "You'd be coming back this way again"
Dear Lord, yeah
This letter is from Saigon, the Yardfather
We fucked up Lord
Will, talk, to 'em
I tell 'em
It's alright, it's alright
I know my rent is overdue, they 'bout to shut off my light
And even if I get a job, too late, you're too right
Gotta do what I gotta do to get this loot up tonight
It's alright, I write a letter dedicated to God
First I'll thank him, without him I'da never made it this far
But it's hard trying to think of why he not getting involved
It's a lady with a newborn baby living in the car
The police is beatin us up, the hurricane is eatin us up
Katrina floodwater was deep as a fuck
Dear Lord, are we ever gon' receive a reward
For all the suffering and pain and misery we endure?
Just like Trans-Atlantic slave trade, the AIDS, the crack
When are we ever gon' get paid back?
PS: write your boy S to the A back
And tell Luther we got a joint we gave that stays on playback
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
When you told me you loved me (that's what you told me, ain't it?)
You said, "You'd be coming back this way again"
(You said you, you said that you was coming back) I'm back
You told me you was coming back, that I would see you but you never told me when
I want you here to guide me by my side so it doesn't have to be in vain
So never leavin you again
It's alright, it's alright
They narcotized our neighborhood flood the ghetto with white
My nigga only 21, he too young for two strikes
But if he catch another felony he gonna do life, that ain't right
I write a letter dedicated to our Father who art in Heaven
Muslim brothers call him Allah
And they all trying to think of why he not gettin involved
America is bombing them for no reason at all
Gas prices eating us up, parole officers cheating us yup
They lock us in for dirty pee in a cup
Ayo I know you love us Lord, but please show black people a sign
To us, society's a lethal design
Them A-T-Liens adapt to the track
Up top, we call it the block, when not most of the crackers live that
C'mon Lord, you don't see nothin the matter with that?
Hit me back, I think me and you need to chat
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
When you told me you loved me (that's what you told me, ain't it?)
You said, "You'd be coming back this way again"
(You said you, you said that you was coming back) I'm back
You told me you was coming back, that I would see you but you never told me when
I want you here to guide me by my side so it doesn't have to be in vain
So never leavin you again
To all the ladies havin babies on they own
These niggas ain't shit ma, for real yo? You better off alone
If he ain't smart enough to know why he should stay
Then what could he possibly teach his seed anyway?
You gotta grind like you never grind
Even if it mean you gotta shake your never mind, I know I read your mind
You gotta do what you gotta, get it together ma
A baby ain't temporary, that shit's forever ma
A mother's love is the freshest kind
That'll get y'all through the hard times, the pain and the stress combined
Raise your seed, you don't need no man
Especially one that need to be de-programmed
Type brother think he righteous cause he don't eat no ham
But he keep plans of fuckin with some kilograms
Girlfriend, you know what you do when the time is right
You tell your lil' one that it's alright
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
When you told me you loved me (that's what you told me, ain't it?)
You said, "You'd be coming back this way again"
(You said you, you said that you was coming back) I'm back
You told me you was coming back, that I would see you but you never told me when
I want you here to guide me by my side so it doesn't have to be in vain
So never leavin you again
I dedicate this song, to the whole Abandoned Nation
If you've been abandoned in any sense of the world
Then you part of this Abandoned Nation
Gotta take it for what it's worth, right
God love us young brothers, that's right
To all my brothers on lockdown, the whole Abandoned Nation
Let's go
