Apollo Brown – Oh Lord lyrics

[Sample]
Oh Lord, I'm so weary

[Intro]
Yeah yeah
Aha, yo

[Verse 1]
What if I was painting the picture of what my life was like
It would require more than black and white
Green as the traffic light, that symbolizes the way that my pops would always leave without leaving a little dough for the rapid growth of my appetite
Please hand me the blue, I gotta finish mama face, by the way
For the skyline, I need a little grey
Not a day goes by, that I don't think about my brother as he lay
In that white suit [?] in that packed church
While different shades of brown just follow their black [?]
I wanna react worse, but God had another plan
First marriage, then childbirth, that white dress and pink bassinet took gallons of paint and I ain't finished yet
Then my son came and took every colour that I get
Cuz' the boy's portrait of dad has a permanent effect
Don't touch it, please, that picture still wet, look at that, ah

[Hook]
I put my faith in my grind and leave the hatred behind, give me a sign, please
No longer wastin' my time, the way the world is designed, I gotta find peace
When pain and suffering combine, you can't just stop and rewind, you on a live feed
You just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, listen and follow my lead

[Verse 2]
Soon as he, turn on the breaking news
A 3-year-old just got murdered in his home by some reckless dude
Probably was drinking booze
Now a baby is buried and he's in a cage
How much do we stand to lose
Facin' these obstacles, [?]
The whole world's spiritually sick, we need a hospital
We in the final days, watchin' in complete amaze, as the world go up in smoke, but we set the blaze
But yall in killing phase, this pure genocide, as we fightin' to survive just to stay alive
That's a whole 'nother battle itself
Just maintaining your health is the greatest of wealth
Gotta doublecheck on your food, that you pour from the shelf
If we let them, they gon' feed us to death, ah
We in a war to preserve what's left
As I maintain my balance and strength so I pray

[Hook]
I put my faith in my grind and leave the hatred behind, give me a sign, please
No longer wastin' my time, the way the world is designed, I gotta find peace
When pain and suffering combine, you can't just stop and rewind, you on a live feed
You just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, listen and follow my lead

[Verse 3]
We want fame, money, jewels, picture more cars, bitches, food
We want more drugs, pills, liquor, make us more sicker and the hoes more thicker
We got no love, no chill, no honor
We got no rules, no mama, no fathers
So no code, no ethics, no Guidance
No remorse, so the consequnces more violent
Vocal cords crushed, no requesting your silence
Blow the horns
This is just another funeral
Just another day and this is nothing that's unusual
Oh Lord, we so desensitized
You see whats televised
Beggin for some better times
Government be telling lies

[?]
Kind of like they pennywise
Please God, send a sign or take me from the self inflicted Hell we live in, O Lord

[Hook]
I put my faith in my grind and leave the hatred behind, give me a sign, please
No longer wastin' my time, the way the world is designed, I gotta find peace
When pain and suffering combine, you can't just stop and rewind, you on a live feed
You just hope for the best, prepare for the worst, listen and follow my lead
