Faith

Lyrics

(Critical Hype) [Verse 1: Punch] I had dreams of holding a 9 milla to Ray's killa Ask him why as my eyes fill up Each day it gets more realer, orangutans bang like gorillas It's jungle when the niggas in zoo The rats lurking, vultures circling the serpents Cats lying through they teeth, my nigga didn't deserve it I flirted with the ideal of caressing the steel To make karma come faster than she normally will It's ill, to see my faith try and leave me It's so hard to get it, to get rid of it is easy I'm tryna reach Cloud 9, that's what my niggas 'bout But it never rain in California unless the pistols out Until then, my feet planted on the ground Shadowboxing my conscience till my faith start responding And if I get no answer, just know I tried I should have never looked into his son's eyes Rayshawn Boyce (Kendrick, I appreciate the opportunity to vent, my nigga They say faith without works is dead, I'm workin') [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] This for my people that stressing whenever times is hard Your mind's slipping, wondering, "Is there really a God?" Knowing you shouldn't think that way and trying to freeze your brain But whenever there's pain, that feeling forever remains We can't believe what we can't see and reality seems stronger than prayer Cause you tried to change your life, and now you live in a wheelchair And your son was born with cancer and he live in urgent care At the tender age of 12, and you feel that no one cares Searching for answers, that's human nature, you ain't in the wrong Just know when you feeling that way His Spirit's in the room I watched people I know pray and catch the Holy Ghost And wonder why I ain't ever caught that feeling before Maybe they know Him better, or I don't know no better But what I do know, is that He's real and He lives forever So the next time you feel like your world's about to end I hope you studied because He's testing your faith again [Outro: Kendrick Lamar] I'd rather not live like there isn't a God Than die and find out there really is Think about it
