[Chorus: Faith Evans]
I know God is watching✦ from above✦
Sometimes✦ I wonder✦ what I'd do without✦ his love
And although✦ life is full of adversities✦
I know he's with me, he's with me
I know someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
He'll come to get me
[Post-Chorus]
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
He'll come to get me
[Verse 2: Scarface]
It seems like every✦ other✦ Wednesday✦ I'm attending a wake
But I don't question you, I know that's your way, okay✦
I know we living✦ for the minute✦ and there's✦ a moment in time
We've got to leave here, 'cause that's your design
And nothing lasts forever, not even✦ spirit,✦ only✦ your word
That's what I live by, 'cause that's what I heard
I wasn't there when you rose from the dead or you parted✦ the sea
I never✦ seen you, but still I believe✦
How you explain the moon, the sky, the stars and the rain
The sun and the sea, the earth without✦ form facing✦ the deep?
In darkness challenging the powers✦ that be
It's impossible for scientists to make up the seeds, to make up the trees
So why we turn our backs on the truth?
It's Heaven✦ or Hell, the point we seem to hide from the youth
And I was singing✦ this morning, got touched by the spirit✦
So I wrote it down for the homies✦ to hear it
[Chorus: Faith Evans]
I know God is watching✦ from above✦
Sometimes✦ I wonder✦ what I'd do without✦ his love
And although✦ life is full of adversities✦
I know he's with me, he's with me
I know someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
He'll come to get me
[Verse 3: Scarface]
Lord, I know that I've been wrong
They say a man is lost without✦ a prayer, without✦ a song
So I'm singing✦ on my knees 'cause I believe✦ you'll keep me strong
Until✦ it's time for me to bring it home
But until✦ it's time for me to bring it home
I'll be out in these streets, hanging in the hood
Even✦ gangsters need to pray, 'cause when I pray it's understood
That I got flaws about✦ myself,✦ I can't make it by myself✦
I need the Heaven's help, I want to follow✦ in your foot steps
Done seen the strongest man bow down to a higher✦ power✦
And given✦ all his glory✦ to God 'cause God towers✦
Over✦ all, and in that I save this prayer
For all my homies✦ that's been trapped out there
That's stuck in their ways, it's different now than back in the days
So fuck what they say, 'cause ain't no coming✦ back from the grave
So when the gun goes pop and the lights go out
Then you'll understand what I'm talking about✦
[Chorus: Faith Evans]
I know God is watching✦ from above✦
Sometimes✦ I wonder✦ what I'd do without✦ his love
And although✦ life is full of adversities✦
I know he's with me, he's with me
I know someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
He'll come to get me
[Post-Chorus]
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
Someday,✦ someday,✦ someday✦
He'll come to get me
[Outro: Faith Evans]
I just want to be your solider✦
I just want to be your vessel,✦ woo, Lord
I just want to be your solider✦
I just want to be your vessel,✦ woo, Lord
I just want to be your solider✦
I just want to be your vessel,✦ woo, Lord
I just want to be your solider✦
I just want to be your vessel,✦ woo, Lord

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"every other Wednesday I'm attending a wake"

① A literal reference to the high frequency of funerals in the artist's environment.② A play on the word 'Wednesday' containing 'Wed' and the juxtaposition of the act of 'waking' (living/rising) versus attending a 'wake' (death).

"not even spirit, only your word"

① A theological assertion that human life is fleeting.② A linguistic reference to 'The Word' of God as the only eternal constant in a transient reality.

Exceptional vocal pocket and naturalistic delivery

Coherent thematic arc from funeral grief to cosmic theological acceptance

Rhythmic consistency that allows for a conversational tone without sacrificing technical precision

Limited use of complex figurative language or metaphors

Vocabulary choices remain accessible and straightforward

Lack of multi-layered entendres compared to his more dense storytelling verses
