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)
