26 Years, 17 Days

Lyrics

I was looking for God at my grandmama's house
 Underneath the cushions on a couch
 I looked all around, side to side, up and down
 That man, no where to be found
 So I called my grandmama on the phone
 Said, "Old lady you best get home
 'Cause God ain't where you said he would be
 And there's something that I really need
 To speak with him about immediately"
 She said, "Boy tell granny what's wrong
 Is there something I can do"
 I said, "Big mama now it's a sensitive issue
 And Lord knows I don't wanna worry you
 But I need somebody to talk to"
 It done been 26 years, 17 days
 Been to 5 different prisons, got 2 babies on the way
 And they say, "It'll be a waste of time to pray"
 Seeing that I'm going to hell anyway
 It done been 26 years, 17 days
 Been to 5 different prisons, got 2 babies on the way
 And they say, "It'll be a waste of time to pray"
 Seeing that I'm going to hell anyway
 I done smoked weed with the best of y'all
 Shot at all the rest of y'all
 My heart hurts like an old man with high cholesterol
 The preacher said that I'm the dirtiest dude he ever saw
 Shouldn't even be livin' and he a Christian
 Should've been dead like 17 times from 17 crimes I committed
 Took 'em all to trial and got aquited
 Left wavin' my middle finger in the air
 Whispered in the prosecutors' ear
 (Yeah I did it)
 I done stole everything from dreams to wedding rings
 Auctioned off my soul for material things
 But lately it's been kinda botherin' me
 I guess that turtle always catches up with the rabbit eventually
 It done been 26 years, 17 days
 Been to 5 different prisons, got 2 babies on the way
 And they say, "It'll be a waste of time to pray"
 Seeing that I'm going to hell anyway
 It done been 26 years, 17 days
 Been to 5 different prisons got 2 babies on the way
 And they say, "It'll be a waste of time to pray"
 Seeing that I'm going to hell anyway
 (Somebody loves you, baby)
 Somebody loves you girl, loves you
 (Somebody loves you, baby)
 Well you think no one does, somebody loves you, babe
 (Somebody loves you, baby)
 Oh, somebody
 (Somebody loves you, baby)
 Somebody loves, somebody cares for you, somebody does, yo
 (Somebody loves you, baby)
 Ooh, my problem's you
 (Somebody loves you, baby)
 'Coz it ain't no [Incomprehensible] there's still a chance, still a way
 (Somebody loves you, baby)
 That somebody loves you, somebody cares for you, oh
