[Verse] Uh, there's a lady with a baby and no job She asked the landlord to save her from the mob But the landlord ain't God, and she knew So, now she's crying in her living room [Pre-Chorus] With one hand on the phone And the other on a box of macaroni [Chorus] "Somebody save me And all my babies Don't want 'em in the system 'Cause I know that I would miss 'em Don't wanna do it, but I might" So, with tears in her eyes She let the words fly [Post-Chorus] And her mind was in a fog And she prayed to God [Verse 2] "Lord, I know I ain't prayed in a minute But I feel like You gon' get it I need Your help, You know it Please, don't let me blow it" Now she's lookin' at her children in the dark And she thought to herself, "Lord, I don't know where to start" She knew that God knew her heart But she was ready to get to work So, she reached for the burner [Pre-Chorus] "Let it be Your will" But when she heard the sirens She threw it on the windowsill [Chorus] "Somebody save me And all my babies Don't want 'em in the system 'Cause I know that I would miss 'em Don't wanna do it, but I might" So, with tears in her eyes She let the words fly [Post-Chorus] And her mind was in a fog And she prayed to God
