I came down
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
All the years we were real close
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Now, we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killin'
But grew apart as the money grew
We used to stay up all night at slumber parties
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
So now I'm down for whatever, ain't nothin' nice
None of my friends speak
It gets dangerous, money an' power is changin' us
The Exorcist got me doin' skits like Homie
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Now I see his fears through her tears
[Incomprehensible] mind, soul over body
[Incomprehensible] mind, soul over body
The closest of friends when we first started
Secret Society, tryin' to keep it [Incomprehensible]
He never learned, so in turn, I'm kidnappin' his baby's mother
I came down, I came down, I came down
I came down, I came down
You know they tryin' to get you touched
About his whereabouts, I wasn't convinced
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Pickin' they brains for angles
I used to say, “Fuck mic skills”
We used to fight for building blocks
Whoever said illegal was the easy way out
[Incomprehensible] mind, soul over body
I break bread with the late heads
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
'Cause when they seein' too much
Got me runnin' with guys, makin' Gs
Who could ever foresee
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
I came down
Come test me, I never cower
Ain't askin' for forgiveness for my sins, ends
We're all tryin' to win, but then again
Nine to five is how you survive, I ain't tryin' to survive
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
Now I'm tryin' to rock his bitch to sleep
An' now we're lethal, infected with D' Evils
An' all the evils that the game'll do
I'm tryin' to live it to the limit an' love it a lot
Got me ready to lick off, mama forgive me
[Incomprehensible] mind, soul over body
Don't cry, it is to be, in time
An' the workings of the underworld, granted
Life ills, poison my body
I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti
Bet he'll never testify, D'Evils

Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
My hand around her collar, feedin' her cheese
Thinkin' back, when we first learned to use rubbers
Liquors invaded my kidneys
In the form of diamonds an' Lexuses
[Incomprehensible] mind, soul over body
Couldn't understand the mechanics
Secret Society, tryin' to keep it [Incomprehensible]
Know she's wishin' we were still close
Throughout my junior high years, it was all friendly
An' even if Jehovah witness
I'll take away your miseries an' make 'em mine, D'Evils
An' soon grew black-hearted
She said the taste of dollars was shitty, so I fed her fifties
My flesh, no nigga could test
For the love of money, son, I'm givin' lead showers
But now this 'Higher learning' got the Remy in me
You don't know me but the whole world owe me, strip
This shit is wicked on these mean streets
Secret Society, tryin' to keep it [Incomprehensible]
Tellin' lies that sound true
Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fuckin' life
I kept feedin' her money 'til her shit started to make sense
That's right, it's wicked, that's life, I live it
My soul is possessed by D'Evils
I can't be held accountable, D'Evils beatin' me down, boo
Stop screamin', you know the demon said it's best to die
[Incomprehensible] mind, soul over body
