I remain a soldier even through these tears
I remain a warrior even through the fear
I stay on my grind, walk a road less traveled
Keep my head up, every time I touch upon the gravel
Enemies to my right and left
Opposition plottin’ on my death
At war with my pride
Jah open my eyes

So I pray Jah guide I
And bless my soul
Open my eyes
Don’t let me go
And hear my cry

Even when the world is on my shoulders
Even whеn the pain takes over
And thе end feels closer

No matter the pain I feel
You know I can't fail
This won’t break me down
When you live by the knife
Fight for your life
I stand on solid ground

There's no rest for the wicked
There’s no sleep for the wicked

Yes, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil ‘cause Jah guides my every step

I keep my friends close
I keep my enemies closer
And when dem comin’ for the kill
I fall to my knees and pray

Jah guide I
And bless my soul
Open my eyes
Don’t let me go
And hear my cry

Life passes
Life comes and goes

I used to pray for salvation
I used to pray for forgiveness
I thought God would save my soul
I used to pray that the heavens would open up and favor me and hell would just let me go
Here I am
Payin’ for my sins with my blood
Wishin’ I had spent time with my blood
Wishin’ I had done more for my kids
Wishin’ I had done more for my wife
Wishin’ I didn’t lose my life
Why can’t I have more time?
Just a little bit more time
You know, raggo, it’s all good
I’m just hopin’ there’s room in heaven for a gangster

Jah Jah bless
