Psalm 51:5 Lyrics - Singles - Donny Goines

[Verse 1] 

Caught between Plymouth rock and a hard place 

God bless America, our faith 

Where young boys idolize Scarface 

And Heaven is a place so far away, God's grace 

If you're listenin', pray for me 

The devil don't take another day from me 

And Jesus make another way for me 

I don't wanna burn in Hell just to make money 

Here's my confession 

Three Hail Mary's, gotta thank the reverend 

Cut my losses, count my blessings 

Hopin' I can walk through the gates of Heaven 

[Hook] 

Standin' on the front lines, livin' on the dark side, walk with me 

I'm a born sinner 

Tryna stop the riot within but everybody want a war with me 

I'm a born sinner 

Hope ya praying for me, yes lord hope ya praying for me 

I'm a born sinner 

Hate who I am, a born sinner, born sinner 

[Verse 2] 

This for Mike Brown, Sean Bell 

Every brother trapped in a dark cell 

Born sinner, our hell 

Coulda been just another Bronx tale 

Ya'll don't know my story, real talk 

Crack babies, stillborns 

Most wanted pictures, billboard 

This the life that you free men kill for 

In blood we baptize 

Slow death, fast life 

Huey P, Black Pride 

Sins of our father ask why 

Hand on the Bible, other on an all black rifle 

Prayin' for my soul and survival 

It's the life we live 

So I'm nailed on the cross next to Christ for sin 

[Hook] 

[Verse 3] 

From the grave to the cradle, livin' backwards so hateful 

Killin' our brothers Cane, Abel 

Hungry kids at the table 

Cops at the door it can break you, struggled but I'm grateful 

That boy's a man now 

Own two, I stand proud 

The Devil gave me handouts 

This nightmare's my whereabouts 

I rebuke Satan, in the name of Christ, King David 

Know I'm God's favorite 

So every night I praise him 

Remember the love just so I forget the hatred 

And Lord knows I ain't perfect 

Still dancin' with the serpent 

Taxes, death certain 

But the pain gave me purpose 

[Hook] 

[Outro: Kerry Washington] 

If everyone is evil, if the deck is always stacked, if everyone I love is a monster, if no one is worth saving, what's the point? I'm asking you, I'm actually asking you, what is the point?
