After they finished searching the van for drugs...
|
The officer told me 'If I don't believe in God - now is the time to start.'
|
|
I was halfway to sleep, faded off the sour
|
Not knowing that coulda been my last hour
|
I see it clear, we was on 85
|
Road looking clear doing 'bout 85
|
A smooth sail turned to a crazy ride
|
I wish I could say nigga watch the way you drive
|
Well, he was just tryna swerve a deer
|
I didn't get to say it but the lord heard my prayers
|
Head on collision with the guard rail
|
And I'm a firm believer that God's real
|
I felt my van crash against the hard steel
|
At that point I couldn't tell you how my heart feel
|
I seen it happen, we was spinning like a bottle top
|
And I was praying Lord make the bottle stop
|
I swear to God I seen the silhouette
|
And when we crashed, Nini still woke up a little wet
|
The tyres broke off, ripping up the concrete
|
Hit the wall, kept us outta harms reach
|
And not an airbag popped out
|
And without near stressed I hopped out
|
I got a couple bangs and a couple bruises
|
jet lag, a broken rib and two contusions
|
All that, we tryna make our destination
|
But it coulda been our final destination
|
|
I used to speed when I whipped the V's
|
Until a nigga sin almost crippled me
|
Damn it made a nigga see his life flash
|
I see my son, I see my mum, I see Christ flash
|
I almost died on Martin Luther Day
|
And for the cause he was a martyr just a few would say
|
Now I'm thinking hard what my crew would say
|
Maybe wonder what my boo would say
|
I wonder what she would say
|
|
They say what don't kill you, makes you stronger
|
And my momma always told me the angels was with me
|
I guess that's all them prayers through all those years
|
Well since I'm still here nigga, guess what?
