Trials & Tribulations

de Ace Hood

I speak on behalf of the people
Hope, faith
We all got a story, this is me

Ok, please forgive me, Father, all the sinning I done did
All the dirt I had to do, all the trouble I've been in
Went through trials and tribulations every day to make some ends
I'm a walking testimony, still I stand yet again
You don't know shit that I been through, all this pain, ain't that the truth
So much tears that I done cried, feeling like I ain't got shit to lose
Why my granny passed away, why my daughter didn't stay
Wish they both was here today, oh Lord, in Jesus name
I done been through hell and back, momma dodging heart attacks
Ain't no AC in the house, just a broken thermostat
Bill collectors on my line, please don't fucking call me back
Got me stressing about this shit, ain't no way I could relax
I was only eighteen, ain't no money coming fast
Had no choice but turn to God, take some trouble of her back
Everything just going wrong, feel like nothing going right
I just seen my homie Dale and he die within the night
Boy, these streets ain't nothing nice, had to make way out the hood
Don't nobody give a damn, had to make sure we was good
Just like that, before you knew it, I had got my record deal
When you make it from the bottom just imagine how it feel
Lord knows them niggas hate, everybody had a doubt
Who this nigga think he is, that little black boy from the south
They was laughing at me then, ain't no laughing at me now
And for those who don't believe, ask 'em now who run the town
Ain't no way I'm giving up, ain't no way I'm giving in
I done lost it all before, can't go through this shit again, no
Lord forgive me for what I'm about to do
Forgive me for my sins, for the known, for the unknown, amen

Let me get it back to legit to quit, Porsche got two percented tint
Bitch, I made so many hits, look how quickly they forget
Go ahead and count me out, you can talk behind my back
Don't give a fuck about what you say, so you think my music whack
That ain't what my banker said, couple million wired in
Hope I see a hundred more that's before retirement
Motivation on you hoes, ain't no waiting on the dough
Heard they praying that I fail, tell them Ace will never fold
I'm a walking testimony and I mean just what I say
Looked my daughter in her eyes right before she passed away
Watched them doctors pull the plug, don't wanna live another day
This was all in God's fate, could not be no other way
How I did it, I kept my faith
They tried to break me but there ain't no way
I kept my focus, whipped up the potion
And when you make it out the struggle, you the chosen
I seen the light, oh glory, glory, trials and tribulations, my life is a story
And everything I did to make it made me who I am today
We the best, it's in my blood, ain't no father around to thank
I'm a lion in this field and my heart is made of steel
Catch me speeding to the top, hollering God take the wheel
Have mercy
And even though we all are not perfect, forgive me
