Yeah, I be acting crazy nasty but don't get me wrong I got sense I'ma God on this song This song is dedicated to all the homeboys that died But for some strange coincidental reason you lived through it Homeboy but I'm here to tell you man it's not a And it's not Gods got a plan and purpose for your life man The quarter piece quartet help us sing it right about now
God has smiled on me he has set me (Come on, like when them bullets fly past you) Ooh God has on me and He's been good to me
Before I was a wild juvenile I to be a mild Christian young child I to seek and seek search and search analyze everybody In my church, a 1 2 seen a lot of hypocrites religious fakers Deacon hungers and often takers I turned 13
I thought church was fake I took all I could take so I a lil' brake I went to the world and bought a jerry curl and crack to slice So I can do my own thing the street I didn't understand good So I started gang banging to prove my manhood,
Have fun baggin' the gun the kid on the block Was a Christian son went to the jail Not once but twice gambling my life With the dealing buucoooc
God has on me he has set me free (Come on, like when them bullets just fly you) Ooh God has on me and He's been good to me
I got released in '94 told my mama I don't wanna get in no mo' I wanna find a job obtain wealth be independent like you And take care of my self, I stopped I really quit But not the people that I got into it wit' in the day
From Pompale to la they got beef wit' me homie up until day To make a story short I stepped out the tub around the corner to the local night club Sittin' at a table doin' my thang
when I got approached by this rival gang His gang and my just got into it I tried to explain I didn't do it I told ya bro since '94 I been man I mess around no more
God has smiled on me he has set me (Come on, like when them bullets fly past you) Ooh God has smiled on me and been good to me
You know he said, man he got smart wit' me he said Call the order some flowers you quit you're game But we never ours
He got exited we started fist fightin' like Mike I was scratchin' And bitin' a bunch of them started mobbing me threw me on the And started me the things that they took from me nothing major, wallet, Walkman cheap lil' pager
They my food stamps, took my knife me and tried to take my life I tried to fight back but my was useless Ain't no need to enough excuses
Amen I was on the ground getting down 8 different people kicking me around, I thought about all the bad I did I ran from God as a little bitty kid no sign No reason, no clue, no warning, no fare nobody
2 o'clock in the heavy licks they was layin' on me But at the same time my she was prayin' for me from the helicopter filled the air and the police cars came Every were I told I don't deserve You but let me live And serve You, God has smiled
God has smiled on me he has set me (Come on, like when them bullets just fly you) Ooh God has smiled on me and He's been to me
Sometimes when I'm drinking man I think about all my close Ya know, what I'm the times I almost got shot The times I was crimes almost got caught by the police Man I think car accidents that never happened
I think about home boys I to one day Next day they catch 50 60 maybe even rest in peace You know what I'm saying but this out man we still alive right? God ain't through wit' us so let's put it man
Stop all this madness know what I'm Go on take of some situations we need to take care of And to all the homeboys who me Hey man I'm alive so if y'all be so kind Go down there and buy my tape man will make up Them food stamps y'all took me right
grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch me I was lost but now I'm found Was but now I see
God has on me He has set me free God has smiled on me and been good to me
Amazing grace how the sound That saved a wretch me I was lost but now I'm found Was but now I see
God has on me He has set me free God has smiled on me and He's good to me
