June 6th1975
|
In Miami Florida was the place I first arrived
|
My parents smiled as I opened my blues eyes
|
Cuz they was newly married and I was their first child
|
My pop was from Jersey my mom was from Miami
|
They met in the bed stuy Brooklyn NYC
|
At Art College and yes they was hippies
|
So I guess that makes me child of the sixties
|
But anyways we didn’t stay we moved to plant city
|
Then to Lakeland then to Miami then to Ybor city
|
Living in the hood where things are never ever pretty
|
The only white kid smack dab in the inner city
|
My playground is a parking lot plus a back ally
|
At times I would wake up in the dark with no electricity
|
On top of that we were struggling cause we got no money
|
And going through this inside it’s killing me
|
|
On and on on and on
|
You love goes on
|
On and on on and on
|
|
I was about 6 when all this was goin on
|
Things began to change everything I knew was up and gone
|
They separated on the weekends I would see my mom
|
Still living with my pops in my hood but not for too long
|
When I was nine they divorced and I was moving on
|
To the suburbs with my mom cause courts said it was wrong
|
For me to be living in the hood with dad so I’m up and gone
|
Mom remarried and had a baby we living in my grandmas home
|
We living in a neighborhood that’s middle class
|
But I felt poor because of some things I didn’t have
|
Time passed we moved out but still thing aint right
|
I’m slipping fast at home all I do is fight and yell
|
My grades start to crash plus I ran away twice
|
And almost got shot by the cops one single night
|
I started high school and party all the time
|
But little did I know what was gonna happen to my life
|
|
On and on on and on
|
You love goes on
|
On and on on and on
|
|
At 15 had a talk with my cousin got me thinking
|
Was there more to life than girls partying and drinking
|
I picked up his bible and started reading revelations
|
For some reason I was crying when I reach the ending
|
Now God was working on me and this was the beginning
|
The first time in a long while that I started praying I had to move again and again and say goodbye to everyone/
|
My dad and my friends was once again all up and gone
|
Brand new school by myself sitting all alone
|
Feeling like a fool every single day I ‘m coming home
|
But I would listen every night in my bedroom to Gospel radio preach about Christ and just then soon
|
I gave my life to him everything became new
|
I was born again I’ve never been the same dude
|
Ya took my sin and my guilt and let them blame you
|
And on and on though the years you always came through
|
|
On and on on and on
|
Your love goes on
|
On and on on and on
|
|
It was November and the year was 1995
|
I still remember the very first date with my wife
|
And I was on my own doing shows part time
|
Twenty years old just trying to make something of my life
|
I moved away home when I was only eighteen
|
Broke as a joke making music trying to chase a dream
|
And everybody seems to think I’m crazy except for me
|
But God was there every time to supply my needs
|
I went on staff at a church in the inner city
|
Writing rhymes in my spare time for my CD
|
I mailed my demo to a label named Gotee
|
And out of nowhere Todd Collins up and called me
|
He said he heard my junk and plus he wanted to sign me
|
My heart jumped and plus I want to cry and scream
|
But all I did was hung up the phone quietly and thinked God how he always provided for me
|
|
On and on on and on
|
Your Love goes on
|
On and on on and on
|
