Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
Now we've been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
We done seen a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
Been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
Sittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin'
About all I've been through, I wish I was dreamin' (Jesus)
Man, it's hard to be an angel when you surrounded by demons (Lord)
I watched so many people leave, I see them change by the season, that's mama's seasonin'
God got you, the devil's watchin', he just peekin' in
I know I made a promise that I'd never let the reaper in (Jesus)
But lately, I've been losin' all my deepest friends (Lord)
And lately, I've been swimmin' on the deepest end
It's just drugs, it ain't no hugs, it ain't no love there
You been down so much, you don't even know what's upstairs (Jesus)
Suicidal thoughts got you wonderin' what's up there (Lord)
And while they introduce a party, they say it's up there
Too many pills, so much potions, so much pain, too many emotions
And everything that you do good, it just go unnoticed (Jesus)
Did He tell you that you good, and just stay focused? (Lord)
Mama, you was the life of the party
I swear you brought life to the party
When you lost your life, it took the life out the party (Jesus)
That woman rode with me like a Harley (Lord)
Visions of my cousin in a cell really scarred me
Movin' to the hood was like signin' up for the army
'Cause they been killin' n- since n- was watchin' Barney (Jesus)
You want dreams to come true? But I had nightmares (Lord)
'Cause if that come to life, then I might not be right here
Been in the dark so long, don't know the light here
But I'm just reachin' for the stars like Buzz Lightyear (Jesus)
And now I'm lightyears ahead of those nightmares (Lord)
I deaded those night terrors when the night clears
And if I talk to Christ, can I bring my mother back to life?
And if I die tonight, will I see her in the afterlife? (Jesus)
But back to reality, where everything's a tragedy (Lord)
And you better have a strategy or you could be a statistic
Little boy dies, he's just one of the mystic
And mama steady cryin', 'cause she really the victim (Jesus)
And she's gettin' high and she's gettin' addicted (Lord)
And her older boy just stuck with the picture, painted vivid
That's a family portrait, and her daughter just absorbed it
Sixteen, pregnant, baby daddy say she should abort it (Jesus)
But we can't afford it, so she decides to move forward (Lord)
Baby shower time, father didn't show up
And she just feelin' nauseous like she finna throw up
The water flows down her legs, yeah, it's finna go up (Jesus)
A year done went by, her daughter just turned one (Lord)
And she's still dependent on her mom
Big brother in the streets, he went and bought him a gun
He want revenge 'cause the pain, feelin' numb (Jesus)
And her mom still doin' drugs 'cause that's the only time she feel loved (Lord)
But is it real love? Do the scars really heal up?
From all the pain that done built up, but they don't feel us (Jesus)
A week done flew by, the big bro ridin' then he see the guys (Lord)
Left his little brother on the side, bleedin' from the side
He seein' red, it's like he's bleedin' through his eyes
To see him dead, the only thing that'll help the grievin' up inside (Jesus)
He even let him get they last meal
He done with the streets after this, this his last kill (Lord)
He gotta show him that it's that real
We ran up on him with the pipe like, "N-, stand still" (Jesus)
"You took my brother life, you made my mother cry" (Lord)
"Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ"
He said, "Go 'head, take my life, I've seen everything but Christ"
Then big bro just blacked out and all you seein' was the light (Jesus, Lord)
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
Now we've been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
We done seen a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
Been through a lot of things
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)
Uh-huh, in the name of the true and livin' God, the beneficent, the merciful (hallelujah)
Thank you for bringin' me up the rough side of the mountain like Ertuğrul (Jesus)
Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage (Lord)
To the monk who visited Rothschilds like Thelonious did Pannonica
It's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin' through your monitor
Back from the great beyond, to the son of man and the son of Donda (Jesus)
I never rolled the GXSR or the R6 or the Honda (Lord)
But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda
Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda (facts)
What the Clintons did to Haiti and Downing Street did to Ghana (Jesus)
In Tenochtitlan they call me Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Lord)
I shake the tectonic plates of the game if I lay one vocal
The God is interstellar while you fellas remain local
My bars is like the pyramid temples of Pacal Votan (Jesus)
As sure as the DOJ confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord)
I could change the world like Yakub with two pieces of steel
My sword or my microphone, I swore to the Christ's throne
But when you great, they wanna say you took an L, José Castillo (Jesus)
I'm in the fight here, fight here, for what seemed like lightyears (Lord)
My rugged cross and thorny crowns squeeze out Christ tears
Thirty pieces of silver clout, my Pierre price tier
It's a war outside, it's a war outside (Jesus)
It's like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah outside (Lord)
Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)

I was born to rock a crown, yeah, yeah, I knocked it down
Holy water, n-, but out here, we turn to brown (Jesus)
Donnie, if you ain't loyal, you from a different soil (Lord)
Your flame too low for that water to boil
If I wasn't rappin', the calls would stop
You ain't really happy for me, you mad that I popped (Jesus)
F- a car, five houses like, "Look what I copped" (Lord)
Devil like, "Jesus Christ, he gotta be stopped"
I don't say "What's up?", You basically blocked

Million dollar cashiers check to the offerin' (Lord)

Doin' dumb, dumb but keep tryin' for your freedom
Uh, if you don't die, then you try again (yeah)
You get your angel wings, then you fly again (Jesus, fly)

What up, Ye? This is Larry Hoover Jr.
First and foremost, I wanna thank you for takin' the fight for my father to the Oval Office
You might not have been the only one that could've did that, but you were the one that did do that
And with your assistance, we can continue to let the world take part in this fight
You know to me it kinda feels like
Me, my mother, my brothers, and my kids
Have all been incarcerated through this journey and we haven't even been to jail
We have been looked at, and treated as criminals, for bein' a part of this family
My father's truth and the reality that he raised me in
Is that he wanted to make a change in this community (tell me if you know someone that needs)
'Cause the conditions in this capitalist society is what made him
And it's what made the children of today
After twenty-five years of bein' locked down, twenty-three and one
My father has not called any shots
From one of the most secure and segregated prisons in the world
And will not, once released, call any shots for the Gangster Disciples
If my father's intentions were to lead us to death, destruction
And to the hell that he has had to live in for the past twenty-six years
Man, he would be dead to me
I didn't sign up for that
I didn't stay on this journey this long for that
All my life, man, I've been waitin' for my father to come home
They told me when I graduate eighth grade, he would be home
Then they told me when I graduate from high school, he would be home
I went away to Morris Brown, I graduated and he still ain't home
Now I'm a adult, and my daughter went away to college and graduated
He still not home
Now even more than that, my son, he graduated eighth grade and we still waitin'
Matter of fact, he hasn't hugged, kissed, or touched any of his grandchildren
And they haven't been able to touch they grandfather
Even though it is not seen that way for some of us, but for many of us
Larry Hoover is a beacon of hope for his community, who deserves to breathe free air
Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry Hoover Sr. (Lord)

Was geht, Ye? Hier ist Larry Hoover Jr.
First and foremost, I wanna thank you for takin' the fight for my father to the Oval Office
Zuerst und vor allem möchte ich dir dafür danken, dass du den Kampf für meinen Vater ins Oval Office gebracht hast
You might not have been the only one that could've did that, but you were the one that did do that
Du warst vielleicht nicht der Einzige, der das hätte tun können, aber du warst derjenige, der es getan hat
And with your assistance, we can continue to let the world take part in this fight
Und mit deiner Hilfe können wir weiterhin die Welt an diesem Kampf teilhaben lassen
You know to me it kinda feels like
Für mich fühlt es sich irgendwie so an
Me, my mother, my brothers, and my kids
Als ob ich, meine Mutter, meine Brüder und meine Kinder
Have all been incarcerated through this journey and we haven't even been to jail
Alle durch diese Reise eingesperrt wurden und wir waren nicht einmal im Gefängnis
We have been looked at, and treated as criminals, for bein' a part of this family
Wir wurden angesehen und behandelt wie Verbrecher, nur weil wir Teil dieser Familie sind
My father's truth and the reality that he raised me in
Die Wahrheit meines Vaters und die Realität, in der er mich aufgezogen hat
Is that he wanted to make a change in this community (tell me if you know someone that needs)
Ist, dass er eine Veränderung in dieser Gemeinschaft bewirken wollte (sag mir, ob du jemanden kennst, der braucht)
'Cause the conditions in this capitalist society is what made him
Denn die Bedingungen in dieser kapitalistischen Gesellschaft haben ihn geschaffen
And it's what made the children of today
Und sie haben die Kinder von heute geschaffen
After twenty-five years of bein' locked down, twenty-three and one
Nach fünfundzwanzig Jahren des Eingesperrtseins, dreiundzwanzig und eins
My father has not called any shots
Mein Vater hat keine Befehle gegeben
From one of the most secure and segregated prisons in the world
Aus einem der sichersten und abgeschiedensten Gefängnisse der Welt
And will not, once released, call any shots for the Gangster Disciples
Und wird auch nach seiner Freilassung keine Befehle für die Gangster Disciples geben
If my father's intentions were to lead us to death, destruction
Wenn die Absichten meines Vaters darin bestanden hätten, uns in den Tod, die Zerstörung
And to the hell that he has had to live in for the past twenty-six years
Und in die Hölle zu führen, in der er die letzten sechsundzwanzig Jahre leben musste
Man, he would be dead to me
Mann, er wäre für mich tot
I didn't sign up for that
Ich habe mich nicht dafür angemeldet
I didn't stay on this journey this long for that
Ich bin nicht so lange auf dieser Reise geblieben, um das zu erreichen
All my life, man, I've been waitin' for my father to come home
Mein ganzes Leben, Mann, habe ich darauf gewartet, dass mein Vater nach Hause kommt
They told me when I graduate eighth grade, he would be home
Sie sagten mir, wenn ich die achte Klasse abschließe, würde er nach Hause kommen
Then they told me when I graduate from high school, he would be home
Dann sagten sie mir, wenn ich die High School abschließe, würde er nach Hause kommen
I went away to Morris Brown, I graduated and he still ain't home
Ich ging nach Morris Brown, ich absolvierte und er ist immer noch nicht zu Hause
Now I'm a adult, and my daughter went away to college and graduated
Jetzt bin ich ein Erwachsener, und meine Tochter ging aufs College und absolvierte
He still not home
Er ist immer noch nicht zu Hause
Now even more than that, my son, he graduated eighth grade and we still waitin'
Jetzt noch mehr als das, mein Sohn, er hat die achte Klasse abgeschlossen und wir warten immer noch
Matter of fact, he hasn't hugged, kissed, or touched any of his grandchildren
Tatsache ist, er hat seine Enkelkinder nicht umarmt, geküsst oder berührt
And they haven't been able to touch they grandfather
Und sie konnten ihren Großvater nicht berühren
Even though it is not seen that way for some of us, but for many of us
Auch wenn es für einige von uns nicht so aussieht, aber für viele von uns
