God Is Good

(album: Victory Lap - 2020)

God is good all the time
All the time all the time
God is good all the time
All the time all the time God is good
God is good all the time
All the time all the time
God is good all the time
All the time all the time God is good

I laid in bed just while the rats scurried overhead
Praying now to God that they didn't run up on my leg
Neighbor kept fighting I could hear every word they said
Laying there at night just while I'm struggling to get ahead
The only white kid in a neighborhood that I lived
They chase me on my bike cause the light color of my skin
Trapped in a fight that I could never ever win
Trapped in a life that really wants to hold me in
Watch my head spin messing now with my mental
Playing in a back alley bullets thru the front window
Is this all we have daddy then tell me why it's so little
I draw to escapes through a paper plus an old pencil
It was all simple it all came to pass
Bored out my skull dad dragging me to latin mass
I saw all the cars flying past
But all the while as you called the time had to pass

God is good all the time
All the time all the time
God is good all the time
All the time all the time God is good
God is good all the time
All the time all the time
God is good all the time
All the time all the time God is good

Teachers on my back told me just to stay on task
All I did was laugh while I'm sitting in the back of class
Walkman on replay hip hop's on full blast
Stuck on the freeway and the car's running out of gas
Walk fast past the dealers trying to hold the cash
Plus these fellas on the court they just talking trash
Everything that I could see was all about to crash
Its getting hard to breathe thinking this would never pass
All the things that I'd wish that I'd never had
All I wanted was a gold ring and a dope rap
I think about when I was three I want to go back
When they didn't leave and all I felt was so bad
There was hope and peace I didn't know that
Fell to my knees with my head straight thrown back
Praying to see a little light on a dark path
Praying to seek a new life that I didn't have

God is good all the time
All the time all the time
God is good all the time
All the time all the time God is good
God is good all the time
All the time all the time
God is good all the time
All the time all the time God is good
