Tobe Nwigwe
said 'try Jesus
don't try me'
I second that emotion
and implore you diligently

Try Jesus

Try Muhammad

Try everyone
BUT ME

Behind this smile
and smart girl talk
is a myriad of pissed off me

Behind this degree
My Daddy was on OG
and all his gangsta
runs straight through me
both subtle and vehemently

So please Try Jesus
as Brother Tobe says
I truly beseech you
to understand
I'm only
half holy and
I strive to keep
that other half dead

So please
please please
stop messin' with me
'cause the hood half
well .....
she's hella off.



(Note: I love this song by hip hop artist, Tobe Nwigwe.It's called Try Jesus and can be found on every strealimg service.
