[Verse 1:]
|
I remember the day when I
|
Took Him in my heart and all my old ways denied
|
Hey and my old friends sayin I
|
Wasn't the same made a change in my life
|
Oh felt like a bum in the slum
|
No control on my tongue and I cursed and I lied
|
I played the game for the fame
|
I was lame for the dames and the devil was my ally
|
I was in jail made bail and the demons in my head
|
Made me do something stupid
|
I was in love wit my girl, but we didn't get along, so I blamed it on the Cupid
|
Let unemployment hunt me
|
Didn't nobody want me answer my major
|
When I tried everything, everything didn't work
|
Then I finally tried the savior
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Hay I done tried it all
|
Runnin in the streets, I done tried it all
|
Goin to the club, I done tried it all
|
Tryin to play the thug, I done tried it all
|
Oh, after I tried the rest I was trippin cause I should've tried the best
|
Runnin with a no, I should've tried a yes
|
Open up my heart and then my mouth confessed, yes
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I thought I'd recover quickly, but without
|
God my life was still a little tricky
|
Hay and I wasn't really picky living for lust
|
Thank God the girly wasn't sickly
|
Oh I turned around, I was sound cause the Lord that I found
|
Man, His love just hit me, I can't deny I was high
|
This is good, you should try
|
But it's not the sticky-icky
|
Now I'm a happy camper
|
Finally changed my pamper, ready for the throw down
|
Yeah, I'm a bold soldier nothing to hide like a brother on the low down
|
I tell them all worldwide, inside, outside, Internet, on the cable
|
When I tried everything, everything didn't work
|
But the Holy One is able
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Hay I done tried it all
|
Runnin in the streets, I done tried it all
|
Tryin to play the thug, I done tried it all
|
Goin to the club, I done tried it all
|
Oh, after I tried the rest I was trippin cause I should've tried the best
|
Runnin with a no, I should've tried a yes
|
Open up my heart and then my mouth confessed, yes
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
Yes, I never know how good Your love could be
|
But now I see my life is so much better then I ever dreamed
|
You rescued me
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Hay I done tried it all
|
Runnin in the streets, I done tried it all
|
Goin to the club, I done tried it all
|
Tryin to play the thug, I done tried it all
|
Oh, after I tried the rest I was trippin cause I should've tried the best
|
Runnin with a no, I should've tried a yes
|
Open up my heart and then my mouth confessed, yes
|
