Deliver Us ft. Darrel Walls Lyrics

Deliver Us ft. Darrel Walls - August Alsina

...

[August Alsina:]

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us

Lord, deliver us

Oh

Give me the strength when I don't know what else to do

Show me the way whenever I'm confused (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Keep me straight when I refuse

Be a light so I won't ever lose you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I came up in Hell

Where you can lose your life and no one'll tell (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Everybody for themselves

Only way to escape it is buy it or sell (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Had to get out on my own (Lord, deliver us)

Leave the only place I've known (Oh, deliver us, yeah, yeah, yeah)

That was my home, but I felt like I didn't belong (Lord, deliver us)

So in a flash, I was gone, on my way-ay-ay (Oh, deliver us)

People told me stay away-ay-ay (Lord, deliver us)

So I did what it takes (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Had to figure out, I made some mistakes (Lord, deliver us)

Can't remember how I beat all them cases

I kept on chasin' after my dream (After my dream)

I was chasin' a check, I was chasin' respect (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Tryna provide for the team (Team)

Who would chase me away, told me stay out them streets (Lord, deliver us)

So I stayed on the beat, I was focused

I was grinding 'til somebody noticed (Lord, deliver us)

And I wasn't the richest, but damn sure wasn't the brokest

I remember nights prayin' to deliver us

Waitin' for You to deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Heard the preacher say You would deliver us

Figured You were forgettin' us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Heard my mama prayin' to deliver us

Waitin' for You to deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Heard the preacher say You would deliver us

Figured You were forgettin' us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Had to fend for ourself in the jungle

Shoot at anything that's gon' confront you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Keep your toes planted, never runnin'

Fight for what's yours, don't let no one take it from you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

That's the only way we know

Whoever comes against, he gon' get this smoke (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Told you once and that's my word

From Louisiana, know you heard they don't play around here

Crazy niggas askin' where you from if you don't stay 'round here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

If you visit, better stay on Bourbon, they don't play out here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I had to lose some real niggas out here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Only way I made it out here

God had to keep some real ones around (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And they held me down (Deliver us)

Yeah (Oh, deliver us, yeah, yeah, yeah)

That's why I hold them down (Deliver us, oh)

I remember nights prayin' to deliver us

Waitin' for You to deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Heard the preacher say You would deliver us

Figured You were forgettin' us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Heard my mama prayin' to deliver us

Waitin' for You to deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Heard the preacher say You would deliver us

Figured You were forgettin' us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us

[Darrel Walls:]

Our Father, who art in Heaven

Hallowed be thy name, oh

You created the creatives

And you know everything that we need

God give us peace, woo, God give us peace

And give us strength for the journey

Refresh our minds and restore our time

For death is chasing us, but we want life

And they get into our minds

Lord, please keep our minds

For we know that everything that lives starts in our minds

So please, hear our plea

Overwhelm everything that's overwhelming me

Heal your children, Father

Hear your children, Father

Won't You heal your people?

Heal your people (People)

[August Alsina:]

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us

Lord, deliver us

Oh, deliver us
