Maybe If

Maybe
 all my life I walked, stuck in the dark
 thinkin brothers that went to church had to be marks (?)
 no hearts, though I had it twisted like french braids
 it takes a man to serve God, this ain't no kid's trade
 I got Saved and the devil wept
 I wear respect to street formances as pertainin to my ghetto rag (?)
 I was a shooter in my former life hoo-ride
 now can I make a G slide to the bright side
 (Tic Toc)
 mm, if anybody can do it then you can do it Tic
 well if I can do it then its done and I'm a do it quick
 (why) cause I'm a doer, never seen a one truer
 than me, cause this is O Double G now
 you see, I got a question, but really you need to ask yourself
 how do you refuse to come to Christ when He can give you help
 but yet you stay, you catchin case after case
 lookin left and right, up and down, when the answer's right in front yo face
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 whats crackin, step back and
 peep it like a G (like a G)
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 Satan tryin to twist em, dropped in the system
 let Christ set you free (set you free)
 attention, O.G.'s open your ears up
 and all busters stop up your ears so you cant hear us
 cuz its only G talk, when we talk
 and by faith with deliverance how we walk
 until now ive been known to hit knees
 but one time can I break it down for the G's
 I left a stain so you'll never forget my name
 I worship the Slain, now all gangstas ain't the same
 see some bang, some slings cain, some shoot
 some fight, some pray and fast, some smoke root
 some claim Crypt, some hustler, and some buy root
 some serves Tweed, and some serves God like I do
 once was blind, but now I see, I know
 I did it to greed, now freeze the G's and blow (?)
 life into the hood, mourn for those that died
 do's a genocide, still with one to five (?)
 look at chea
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 whats crackin, step back and
 peep it like a G (like a G)
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 for God so loved, sinners on Earth
 that they redeemed
 on the real though dog, I used to slang and bang
 but from homie to homie, dont even try to gang
 cuz one brotha be down, one brotha be suckas
 and the other half bustas
 I'm not down with killin brothas cause its killin me
 and I'm not the one to contribute to your conspiracy
 lift your eyes, check a nize, and stop now (?)
 cuz satan wanna see the dead, are locked down (?)
 or if he keep us on crack, then he got us
 knowin if we toppin the purpose, he cant stop us (?)
 to pen is what I need, the truth and funk is what I get you with (?)
 the rhythm we givin, so they can learn from what we live thru
 blacks killin blacks, blacks sellin blacks crack
 now when we gone see some unity in our community?
 when the G's hit they knees and get they pray on
 until then homie stay strong
 on the wrist (?)
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 whats crackin, step back and
 peep it like a G (like a G)
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 a brighter day, a better way
 for you and me
 today, we done forgot about our makage as pleasure (?)
 but think bout gettin our rhine on, everybody gettin they grind on
 men hustlin women, and women hustle men
 men hustle for skins, and women hustle for they mens
 to the left, homie missed it with that set trip
 in 96, half the projects read about yo chips
 G wise, lets get our lives prioritised
 and then start to raisin our hands, and shapin our eyes
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 whats crackin, step back and
 peep it like a G (like a G)
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 a brighter day, a better way
 for you and me
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 whats crackin, step back and
 peep it like a G (like a G)
 maybe if, you would lift
 your eyes and see (maybe)
 a brighter day, a better way
 for you and me
 maybe if you'd lift your eyes and see, yeah
 maybe if youd peep it like a G (like a G)
 (O Double G's, in the hizzouse, 9 6)
 lift your eyes and see
