It's just another day in the rat race
The same as yesterday
I want that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Just standin' in the way

And is there anything that can
Take away my pain?
Well, this world I can't control
Lord knows I feel ashamed

As I wallow in my sin
I'm wonderin' how I ended up this way
But that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Can wash my sins away

And I say, sidewalk angel save my soul
The concrete devil's tryin' to take control
Sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that old concrete devil is tryin' to take control

I like to fly above my consequences
And try to find my way
And see if that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Can wash my sins away

I'm just a sittin' here
Waitin' for Judgment Day
But that Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church
Is a tellin' me to pray

And they say, sidewalk angel save my soul
That old concrete devil?s tryin' to take control
Come on, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil?s tryin' to take control

Well, I walk the streets with no direction
To find a piece of pure perfection
Now, it don't matter what it is
I'm just tryin' to make a connection with

Sidewalk angel save my soul
That old concrete devil's tryin' to take control
You know, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil's tryin' to take control

C'mon, sidewalk angel save my soul
You see that concrete devil's tryin' to take control
C'mon, sidewalk angel save my soul
See that concrete devil's tryin' to take control
