Trials & Tribulations

I speak on behalf of the people
Hope
Faith
We all got a story, this is me
Okay, please forgive me father all the sinning I done did
All the dirt I had to do
All the trouble Ive been in
Went through trials and tribulations every day to make some ends
Im a walkin testimony still I stand yet again
You dont know shit that I been through all this pain aint that the truth
So much tears that I done cried feeling like I aint got shit to lose
Why my granny passed away why my daughter didnt stay
Wish they both was here today oh Lord in Jesus name
I done been through hell and back momma dodgin heart attacks
Aint no A/C in the house just a broken thermostat
Bill collectors on my line please dont fuckin call me back
Got me stressin about this shit aint no way I could relax
I was only eighteen aint no money comin fast
Had no choice but turn to God take some trouble off her back
Everything just goin wrong feel like nothin goin right
I just seen my homie Dale and he die within the night
Boy these streets aint nothin nice had to make way out the hood
Dont 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 laughin at me then aint no laughin' at me now
And for those who dont believe ask em now who run the town
Aint no way Im givin up aint no way Im givin in
I done lost it all before cant go through this shit again no (no)
Lord forgive me for what Im 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
Dont give a fuck about what you say so you think my music wack
That aint what my banker said couple million wired in
Hope I see a hundred more thats before retirement
Motivation on you hoes aint no waitin on the dough
Heard they prayin that I fail tell them Ace will never fold
Im a walkin 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 dont wanna live another day
This was all in Gods fate could not be no other way
How I did it, I kept my faith
They tried to break me but there aint 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 is in my blood aint no father around to thank
Im a lion in this field and my heart is made of steel
Catch me speedin to the top hollerin God take the wheel
Have mercy

And even though we all are not perfect
Forgive me
