    Story Behind the Song
    The motivation is just like all or most of our songs. We collaborate and make it happen. But we also come up with a lot of our ideas on an individual basis.

    Lyrics
    GOOD LORD
    Lyrics/Leroy Hall Jr./Eric Hall; Music/Luke Cage Pocketfuel. Inc.

    (Verse 1)
    Everyday is like a dream, seems these streets they never change
    See me banging on the concrete walls trying to maintain
    A shame to see my family starving to eat
    I want to scream but my families sleep
    I'm trying to keep my cool
    Who can I run too, No one cares
    We wasn't prepared
    So the welfare lines
    Is where we spent time
    I couldn't cry but behind closed doors
    I asked the Lord why we live so poor
    And what's this live for
    Trying to endure through the course you laid
    A fate worse than a six feet grave
    My pain runs deep
    Forgive me, for the things I ask
    And all the bad shit I did in the past
    Am I an outcast?
    And will I outlast the code of the streets
    Or will I end up R.I.P.
    Dead on my feet, I'm tired and weak
    Fed up, can't deal with the stress
    I got to get this shit off my chest, that's why I'm asking....

    (Chorus 2x)
    Good Lord, I wonder why these times so hard,
    Good Lord, I wonder if I'll ever see tomorrow,
    Good Lord, don't know if I'm gone live another day
    Pray you never walk away from me, what I'm trying to say.

    (Verse2)
    Coming from the mire, straight river boating and
    Starving, two steps away from Ethiopian
    Rib cage showing and, lost all hop in him
    Is there a God that’s the shit I used to ask
    Same raggedy shoes same clothes on my back
    That I wore yesterday; shit I tried to pray
    But my heart is full of sorrow
    Niggas placing bets if I’ll wear these clothes tomorrow
    Laughing like hyenas; mediocre dreamer
    I don’t want much
    Bout to end my own life ready for the death touch
    Thinking that I’m cursed
    Till I saw this dude on the streets living worse
    Truth out my mouth; he in front the courthouse
    With his pants down got his ass hanging out
    He trying to get popped for three hots and a cot
    He’d rather do a bid
    Then be struggling on these streets that’s just how this life is
    Bru’ aint that shit sad; straight fucked up
    Every since I saw dude I don’t feel bad much
    All the times I was struggling, cursing the Earth
    I never thought somebody else life could be worse

    (Chorus 2x)
