Yeah, I be acting rapping nasty but don't get me wrong I got sense thank God on this song This is dedicated to all the homeboys that almost died But for strange coincidental ironic 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 plan and purpose for life man The piece quartet gonna help us sing it right about now
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 was a wild juvenile I used to be a mild Christian young child I used to seek and seek search and search 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 fake I took all I take so I took a lil' brake I went to the world and a jerry curl and some crack to slice So I can do my own the street life I didn't understand good So I started gang to prove my manhood, yeah
Have fun the gun the baddest kid on the block Was a Christian son went to the county Not once but twice gambling with my With the dealing buucoooc
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 good to me
I got released in '94 told my I don't wanna get in trouble no mo' I wanna find a job obtain wealth be independent like you And take care of my self, I stopped bangin' I quit But not the people that I got into it back in the day
From to la they got beef wit' me homie up until this day To make a story short I stepped out the tub Walked around the to the local night club Sittin' at a table just my thang
when I got approached by this rival gang His gang and my gang just got into it I tried to I didn't do it I told ya bro '94 I been straight man I don't around no more
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
You know what he said, man he got smart me he said the mortuary order some flowers you quit you're game But we quit ours
He got exited we started fist fightin' Mike Tyson I was scratchin' And bitin' a of them started mobbing me threw me on the floor And started robbing me the things that took from me Wasn't nothing major, wallet, Walkman lil' pager
They took my food stamps, took my me and tried to take my life I to fight back but my efforts was useless Ain't no need to make excuses
Amen I was on the ground getting beat 8 different kicking me around, I thought about all the bad things I did when I ran God as a little bitty kid no sign No reason, no clue, no warning, no fare nobody
2 o'clock in the morning 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 Jesus I don't deserve You but let me live And I'll serve You, God has
God has on me he has set me free (Come on, like when them just fly past you) Ooh God has smiled on me and He's good to me
Sometimes I'm drinking man I think 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 about car accidents that never happened
I about home boys I speak to one day Next day they catch 50 60 years maybe even rest in You know I'm saying but check this out man we still alive right? God ain't wit' us so let's put it down man
Stop all this know what I'm sayin' Go on take care of 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 there and buy my tape man that will make up Them food stamps y'all took from me
grace how sweet the sound That a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm Was but now I see
God has on me He has set me free God has smiled on me and He's been to me
Amazing grace how sweet the That a wretch like 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
