let me win - quake matthews lyrics

[verse 1]

ayo i move how i wanna
yeah, a little rough around the edges and sh*t
but i can move smooth when i gotta
make this white tee look elegant
and they said “the devil wears prada”?
sh*t, i guess that it means that i’m heaven*sent
steppin’ with a h*llish grin
cause i’m more fresh than him
‘scuse me as i settle in, god about to let me win
look, what if i was born inside a different body?
in a different place, as a different race
what if growing up i would’ve chose a different hobby?
you would’ve never heard a word i had to say
what if my pops never met my mom?
she just played heard to get, and just led him on
what if that dj never put that record on
in that bar where they danced in each others arms?
sh*t, i guess they we’ll never know
all they know is that they son is about to change the globe
the smile on my face is encased by heaven’s glow
’cause worry dissipates when your fate is set in stone
i hear ’em whisperin’ my accomplishments
and scream all my faults through a megaphone
twitter characters(?), dissin’ me with characters
but when it comes to my character, sh*t was never in question, no
what if when i was 17, i never dissed the biggest artist in the universe
would he check for me, or even have respect for me?
sh*t, he’d probably never know me at all
d*mn, what if that club never let them get the weapons in?
and i could talk to my best friend again
i been through so much pain, grief, stress, and sin
i swear it feels like god’s about to let me win
[chorus]

i swear it feels like god’s about to let me win
i think god might let me win
i swear it feels like god’s about to let me win
i been through so much pain, grief, stress, and sin
i swear it feels like…

[verse 2]

look, what if i took that path down the dark road?
park slow, and get caught up in the streets
what if i never took that cab home?
before they shot up that party, i could’ve been deceased
what if my grandparents stayed int he middle east?
and i was hearing bombs hittin’ as i’m tryin’ to sleep
(?) forced to fight war and find some peace
throwin’ rocks at tanks tryin’ to fire on me
dang, the irony’s crippling
when you’re forged to see the world through eyes of a victim
yeah, i spent too many nights getting twisted
what if a bad trip, a took me a bad hit, and that was it?
what if i went out like mac did?
which six friends would’ve carried my casket?
which lawyer would they use to handle my assets?
and where would my girl have chosen to scatter my ashes? (ashes)
d*mn, i think a little too deep (too deep)
i think this weed a little strong for me (strong for me)
i should probably pour a new drink
two shots, and that’ll chase the demons off for me (off for me)
i pray my dreams don’t let ’em in
nightmares, be dreadding to go to bed again
i been through so much pain, grief, stress, and sin
i swear it feels like god’s about to let me win
[chorus]
