Before I was a juvenile I used to be a mild Christian young child I used to and seek search and search analyze everybody In my church, a 1 2 I've seen a lot of religious fakers Deacon hungers and often takers when I 13
I thought church was fake I took all I could take so I took a lil' I went to the world and a jerry curl and some crack to slice So I can do my own thing the street life I understand good So I started gang banging to my manhood, yeah
Have fun baggin' the gun the kid on the block Was a Christian son went to the county Not once but twice gambling my life the dealing dice buucoooc
God has smiled on me he has set me (Come on, like when them just fly past you) Ooh God has on me and He's been good to me
I got in '94 told my mama I don't wanna get in trouble no mo' I wanna find a job obtain some wealth be like you And take of my self, I stopped bangin' I really quit But not the people that I got into it back in the day
Pompale to la they got beef wit' me homie up until this day To make a long story short I out the tub Walked around the corner to the local club Sittin' at a table just my thang
Just when I got approached by this 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 straight man I don't around no more
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 been to me
You know what he said, man he got smart me he said Call the mortuary order some flowers you quit you're But we quit ours
He got exited we started fist like Mike Tyson I was scratchin' And bitin' a of them started mobbing me threw me on the floor And started robbing me the that they 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 tried to fight back but my was useless Ain't no need to make excuses
Amen I was on the ground getting down 8 people 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 fare nobody
2 o'clock in the heavy licks they was layin' on me But at the time my momma she was prayin' for me Lights the helicopter filled the air and the police cars came Every were I told Jesus I don't deserve You but let me And serve You, God has smiled
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 He's been to me
when I'm drinking man I think about all my close calls Ya know, what I'm the times I almost got shot The times I was committing crimes got caught by the police Man I think about car accidents that happened
I about home boys I speak to one day Next day they catch 50 60 years maybe rest in peace You know what I'm saying but check this out man we still alive God ain't through wit' us so let's put it man
Stop all this madness know I'm sayin' Go on take care of some situations we need to take 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 from me right
Amazing how sweet the sound That 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 been to me
Amazing how sweet the sound saved a wretch like me I once was but now I'm found Was but now I see
God has smiled on me He has set me God has on me and He's been good to me
