Lyrics
INTRO
Dear God could ya send me a angel. I'll try ta keep my head up, even though its painful. Ca ya send me a angel. Ca ya send me a angel.
1st VERSE
I Remember growin up on da eastside. Back in da days we said waasuupp wit a peace sign. In 05 they got suicide bombers. We fount Sadam but what about Bin Laden? Too, many questions I cant leave da house without protection.Look at my complexion.They say You reap what you so but I cant tell. Cuz out here everythings for sale. I try not dwell on da past but its hard. My father took off so, I had ta take charge. Emotionally scarred, it hurt ta see my brother behind bars.It felt like we was bein ripped apart.
CHORUS
Send me an angel right now, right away.Cuz, its been a long time, a mighty long time. N I just can't wait ta see yo face.Send me an angel right now, right away.Cuz, its been a long time, a mighty long time. N I just can't wait ta see yo face.
2nd VERSE
Woke up hella early mornin in da town, I had ta thank God. Cuz, today seemed kinda odd. People goin crazy but, they couldn't faze. Do it on da daily, feelin purple hazy. Yeah da devil tryin ta break me down, I won't let em. Ya know I ain't afarid cuz real G's go ta heaven. Been through my share a dirt, puttin work until it hurt. Now da devil's tryin ta enter in my church. Now he's tryin ta just take me out N make me doubt. That there is any good in God's house. So, send me an angel from cloud nine. I need some more soldiers ta help me survive. Just.
CHORUS
Send me an angel right now, right away.Cuz, its been a long time, a mighty long time. N I just can't wait ta see yo face. Send me an angel right now, right away.Cuz, its been a long time, a mighty long time. N I just can't wait ta see yo face.
3rd VERSE
At night I lay me down ta sleep. I pray ta lord my soul ta keep. N if I should die before I wake. I pray dat da lord forgives my mistakes.Pave my way at pearly gates.Ya families forever they cant be replaced.Its Too late I should a known,ya never really miss somein til its gone. I know I gotta be strong raisin two a my own.Cant worry bout heaven cuz we down here below.Payin for sins livin in hell. Rotten in jails.Tryin ta figure out life means N earn dem wings.
CHORUS
Send me an angel right now, right away.Cuz, its been a long time, a mighty long time. N I just can't wait ta see yo face. Send me an angel right now, right away.Cuz, its been a long time, a mighty long time. N I just can't wait ta see yo face.
