Only The Lord Knows ft. Mr. Cain, WZRD Gundlach & Bling Lyrics

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows why we do what we do

And now I'm asking him this question why it had to be you

Not just a homie but a friend to the end

But why'd you have to leave so quick?

I'll never see you again

Life's a trip you never know when it's your time to go

But I'll keep my head up high even when my spirit's low

Cause I'm thinking about the times we shared

I wish your life was spared I'm shedding tears

Cause I cared about you homie

Man don't you ever forget

I can still remember the day that we met

I was a young buck, not giving a fuck

You were an OG, slanging dope on the cut

We was ridin round town blowing a quarter pound

It was me, you, my girl and a friend she said she was down

To do whatever, so you started spitting game

High off weed, some drank, and a little bit of cocaine

We had a blast and you got off in that ass

Kicking it every day, just smoking, watching time pass

And now you're gone but life goes on

I know you're in a better place

So now you're living through this song

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows why we do what we do

And now I'm asking him this question why it had to be you

Not just a homie but a friend to the end

But why'd you have to leave so quick?

I'll never see you again

I play this only at night, so you can't see my tears

It's been years since you left me my but we still here

Holding it down since the day that you died

You see I didn't go to your funeral but I still cried

Couldn't take a look at you in that pine box

Had to think about them times, that we ran blocks

Barely old enough to tie my own shoes

You see we breaking the rules, but that was yesterday's news

And it's a whole new day with no films at eleven

Getting caught up in the game on a stairway into Heaven

Or a highway into hell, who can tell? No one but the Lord

Now I amplify these prayers, with my microphone cord

And at night I grab the mic too tight

In the struggle for your life, why'd you have to lose the fight?

Now I'm banging out this music cause we carrying on

But I really miss you homie, so I had to write this song

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows why we do what we do

And now I'm asking him this question why it had to be you

Not just a homie but a friend to the end

But why'd you have to leave so quick?

I'll never see you again

No words can express how I'm feeling today

Cause when I look at the clouds they change from blue to gray

Thinking about all those times before you went away

Wish you were still here and to the Lord I do pray

I put my hands together every day and night

We were so hardheaded always ready to fight

You had too much pride whether wrong or right

And now that you gone you know I'm shining bright

But no matter what I do I got to face the facts

Trying to let the past go by making this track

Rolling up twenty sacks out of Swisher Sweet packs

Holding on to memories when you had my back

I know you're smiling down at everything I do

Live life to the fullest and embrace your crew

Those were words of wisdom cause what you said was true

And I keep on wondering why did it have to be you?

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)

Only the Lord knows (why we do what we do)
