Yeah, I be acting crazy rapping nasty but get me wrong I got sense I'ma thank God on song This is dedicated to all the homeboys that almost 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 ironic Gods got a and purpose for your life man The quarter quartet gonna help us sing it right about now
God has on me he has set me free (Come on, like when them bullets fly past you) Ooh God has smiled on me and He's been to me
Before I was a juvenile I used to be a mild Christian young child I used to seek and search and search analyze everybody In my church, a 1 2 I've a lot of hypocrites religious fakers hungers and often takers when I turned 13
I thought church was I took all I could take so I took a lil' brake I went to the world and bought a jerry curl and some to slice So I can do my own thing the street life I didn't good So I gang banging to prove my manhood, yeah
Have fun baggin' the gun the baddest kid on the Was a son went to the county jail Not but twice gambling with my life With the dealing dice
God has on me he has set me free (Come on, like them bullets just fly past you) Ooh God has smiled on me and He's 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 some wealth be independent you And take care of my self, I bangin' I really quit But not the people that I got it wit' back in the day
From Pompale to la they got wit' me homie up until this day To make a long story I stepped out the tub Walked around the to the local night club Sittin' at a table doin' my thang
Just when I got by this rival gang His gang and my just got into it I tried to explain I do it I told ya bro since '94 I been straight man I mess around no more
God has smiled on me he has set me (Come on, when them bullets just fly past you) Ooh God has smiled on me and been good to me
You what he said, man he got smart wit' me he said Call the mortuary order flowers you quit you're game But we never ours
He got exited we started fist like Mike Tyson I was scratchin' And bitin' a bunch of them started mobbing me me on the floor And started robbing me the things that they from me Wasn't nothing major, wallet, Walkman cheap lil'
They took my food stamps, took my me and tried to take my life I to fight back but my efforts was useless no need to make enough excuses
Amen I was on the getting beat down 8 different kicking me around, I thought about all the bad things I did I ran from God as a little bitty kid no sign No reason, no clue, no warning, no nobody cared
2 o'clock in the heavy licks they was layin' on me But at the same time my momma she was for me Lights from the helicopter filled the air and the police cars Every were I Jesus I don't deserve You but let me live And serve You, God has smiled
God has on me he has set me free (Come on, like them bullets just fly past you) Ooh God has on me and He's been good to me
Sometimes when I'm drinking man I about all my close calls Ya know, what I'm saying the times I got shot The times I was committing crimes almost got by the police Man I think about car that never happened
I about home boys I speak to one day Next day they 50 60 years maybe even rest in peace You what I'm saying but check this out man we still alive right? God through wit' us so let's put it down man
Stop all this know what I'm sayin' Go on take care of some situations we need to care of And to all the homeboys who me Hey man I'm still alive so if y'all be so Go down there and buy my man that will make up food stamps y'all took from me right

Amazing grace how the sound saved a wretch like me I was lost but now I'm found Was but now I see
God has smiled on me He has set me God has smiled on me and He's good to me
