[Intro]
|
I guess we all hurt sometimes
|
So I find myself takin' it one day at a time ya' know
|
Cause' ain't nothin' easy about this life here
|
I must seek my Source, one day at a time y'all
|
|
[Verse One]
|
Nothing in this world will ever be peaches and cream
|
That's just in everyday living not mentioning spiritual things
|
I get sick and tired of hard times, It's hard to renew my mind
|
Hard to put the past behind when ya' feelin' blind
|
I grew up seeing the same ol' murdas
|
Same ol' thugs in the same ol' swervas
|
Sometimes I was afraid to walk through the 'hood
|
I know we say it but ain't all good I'm keeping it real
|
My daddy came home he was robbed
|
Mom on disability and daddy lost his job
|
So where that leave me at? I go to school wit dirty shoes and wack ball caps
|
I'm in the hall catchin' all laughs
|
I'm tryin' to stay focused 'cause this locust is real
|
Went to kick it but my homie got killed
|
I'm under all pressure
|
The Lord blessed a young ghetto child like Flame
|
I'm still living through the sufferin' and pain
|
|
[Chorus x3]
|
Lord I know that you already love me
|
And you want me to walk by my faith
|
But it's hard for me to see you when there's no good around
|
So I need you to open my heart so I can love you more
|
(While I'm livin' I'm a give you my all)
|
|
[Verse Two]
|
It kinda makes me laugh cause it's been a long time comin'
|
Messed up so many times but yet I'm still growin'
|
See it hurt when my grandmother died
|
I'm in the hospital room over her bed lookin' her in the eyes
|
She always said go to church and serve the Lord
|
And put Him first over everything especially money and cars
|
She had a major impact on who I am now
|
Bowin' down worshipin' and sending praises up loud
|
But yet she's gone and the same bad things are going on
|
It's hard for lil' Flame to stay strong but yet I hold on
|
Life is so short we only passing through
|
Able to catch you a laugh or two
|
I seen a lady last week gettin' beat down
|
And thirteen year old girls gettin' freaked down
|
Now you can tell we in the last days
|
The world has turned away from God now we livin' in our own ways
|
Since I have been saved the death angel has passed over
|
My down was covered by the blood straight from Jehovah
|
See I'm grateful, for the way of escape from bein' hateful
|
The dollar doesn't make you, power doesn't make you
|
I have seen it all nothin' new under the sun
|
He made a way out so I had to run
|
I'm tired of poverty, ghetto areas and trife livin'
|
I'm tryin' to elevate to Christ livin', his righteous life we livin'
|
Come on
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
Lord I know that you already love me
|
And you want me to walk by my faith
|
But it's hard for me to see you when there's no good around
|
So I need you to open my heart so I can love you more
|
(While I'm livin' I'm a give you my all)
|
|
[Verse Three]
|
Who else can fill the void straight from all the love that I lost
|
Except the One who shed all his blood at the cross
|
I didn't ask to be born into this world at all
|
But through God's grace I was created to praise God
|
But it gets really hard, I was born right into sin
|
I was headed for hell before my life even began
|
But since I'm here now through Christ I'll make the best of it
|
I trust God so I'll let him do the rest
|
How else could I have peace in this life of crime
|
How else could I have peace when the battle's in my mind
|
How else could I have peace with a broken heart
|
I wish it was the end like Noah's ark
|
It'll be all over, No more pain no more sufferin'
|
No more games no more thuggin' no more hustlin'
|
I praise God for eternal life the Mediator
|
Who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and we call him Jesus Christ!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
(While I'm livin' I'm a give you my all) [x7]
|
I want to love you Jesus, I want to love you love you
|
I want to know you yeah yeah yeah
|
Ooh Jesus, I want to know you know you
|
So will you open my heart so I can love you, More [x2]
|
Said I wanna be more like you yes
|
Said I wanna know how you talked and how you walked
|
Step by step I'll get there
|
If you just hold my hand, and show me the way [x2]
|
