Root of evil
MarkOh yahweh please take me home
Why cause evil is all i've seen i've known been shown
A yahweh will i see your throne
For the root of evil many, many sins i condone
I did it my way whether right or wrong
God forgive me for choice after choice i've blown
Lord i pray for my soul it growns
Can you save a wretch like me with the wicked seeds i've sown
God tell me why, why did i have to be the hostage. why this bank teller when my co-workers agnostic i'm a believer church go-er bible toter just yesterday i taught sunday about the ark of noah. i never owned a nine never drank no moonshine never committed a crime never stole a dime. okay maybe i have and maybe i still am but skimming off the top of work is only for my fam. i come on lord you can't hold me for that i'm struggling to get by while these heathens leave like aristocrats. for so long i've been holding my sins in. looking down on others to see myself as perfection. yo the robbers dead and i'm alive now ain't that odd two people who put the root of evil over god. i was trying to hide my guilt within the crevices laws of man. that allowed me to love money more than him.
