God has smiled on me he has set me (Come on, like when them just fly past you) Ooh God has smiled on me and He's good to me
Before I was a wild juvenile I used to be a mild young child I used to seek and seek and search analyze everybody In my church, a 1 2 I've seen a lot of religious fakers Deacon hungers and takers when 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 some crack to So I can do my own thing the street I didn't understand good So I started gang banging to 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 my life With the dealing buucoooc
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
I got released in '94 told my I don't wanna get in trouble no mo' I find a job obtain some 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 back in the day
From Pompale to la they got beef 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 doin' my thang
Just when I got by this rival gang His gang and my gang just got into it I to explain I didn't do it I told ya bro since '94 I been man I don't around no more
God has on me he has set me free (Come on, like when bullets just fly past you) Ooh God has smiled on me and been good to me
You know what he said, man he got smart wit' me he Call the mortuary order some you quit you're game But we quit ours
He got exited we started fightin' like 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 cheap pager
They my food stamps, took my knife Took me and tried to take my I tried to back but my efforts was useless Ain't no need to enough excuses
Amen I was on the getting beat down 8 people kicking me around, I thought about all the bad things I did when I ran from God as a little kid no sign No reason, no clue, no warning, no nobody cared
2 o'clock in the morning heavy licks was layin' on me But at the time my momma she was prayin' for me Lights from the filled the air and the police cars came Every I told Jesus 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 just fly past you) Ooh God has on me and He's been good to me
when I'm drinking man I think about all my close calls Ya know, what I'm saying the I almost got shot The times I was committing crimes almost got caught by the Man I think about car accidents never happened
I think home boys I speak to one day Next day they catch 50 60 years maybe even rest in You know what I'm saying but check out man we still alive right? God ain't through us so let's put it down man
Stop all this madness what I'm sayin' Go on care 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 from me
Amazing grace how the sound That 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
Amazing grace how sweet the That saved a like me I once was lost but now I'm 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
