If keeping it real is a sin, you better pray for this

Struggle, life and wisdom each appear on 4 of 10 lines. All 10 are lyrics, with 1-800-273-8255 supplying two, plus Dear God, Heard Em Say and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. The mood is persistence over polish: a verse about getting up when you're down and almost drowned, and a challenge, "If keeping it real is a sin", that dares the listener to pray for the song. One line makes a quieter point, that after you finally get what you wanted all your life, you realize there's so much more to life.
I don't wanna die
I finally wanna be alive
I feel like I'm out of my mind
It feel like my life ain't mine (Who can relate? Woo)
Searchin' for bliss only led me to searchin' for hits
Only led me to battle depression
I done learned my lesson 'cause fame never lessen the pain
I get up, when I'm down, had enough, almost drowned
When shit rough I get tough and when I'm beaten to the ground
'Cause I wanted this shit all my life
'Til I finally got it and realized there's so much more to life
I feel the Aryan in my blood, it's scarier than a Blood
Been looking for holy water, now I’m praying for a flood
To teach the people that they have the power to fight
And not with semi automatic bullets in the night
So everybody, everywhere, listen to this fact
Nobody treated equally, especially the black
I’m just as white as that Mona Lisa
I’m just as black as my cousin Keisha
I’m biracial so bye Felicia
Praise Black Jesus now call the preacher
I don't wanna work a job, motherfuck a 9 to 5
Every time I get a check, what I really get? Robbed
Livin in America, this shit is a facade
