Nobody Love, Nobody Gets Hurt
we used to stay
in the slums of LA by the way
Gang-bangers killin' each other for rep,
sellin' rock cocaine on my doorstep
Had a ball to bounce plus a bike to ride,
but my mamma never would let me play outside.
But when I got enrolled in elementary school,
started bangin' like a fuckin' fool.
So cool,
throwin' up gang signs to the gangster (?),
shot an enemy from across the street
Mamma came home, said she got a good job.
Daddy did too.
Now they don't squab.
Financially, we improvin'.
2 months later, son, we movin'.
Travelin' Prayer
Hey Lord, take a look all around
And I'd a-find where my baby's gonna be.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause she is far across the sea.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
And things are gonna be alright with me.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that all her dreams are sweet.
Said now, would ya guide her on the roads
And make them softer for her feet.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
Until she's home and here with me.
Hey, Lord would ya look out for her tonight
If she is sleepin' under the sky.
Said now, make sure the ground she's sleepin' on
Is always warm and dry.
Ummm, don'tcha give her too much rain,
Try to keep her away from pain
Because my baby hates to cry.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause it gets rough along the way.
Said now, this song seems strange is just because
I don't know how to pray.
Ummm, won'tcha give her peace of mind,
And if you ever find the time
Won'tcha tell her I miss her everyday.
Hey Lord, take a look all around
And I'd a-find where my baby's gonna be.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
'Cause she is far across the sea.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight
And make sure that she's gonna be alright
Until she's home and here with me.
With me.
