| you got a minute for yo' son father, i need to talk, i'm so tired of tryin to run father, let's take a walk, i'm so sorry for what i done father, it ain't my fault, but the devil's been on my back lately, he's like a hawk, you never give us more than we can handle, but it's gettin hard, and i'm a strong individual, but i need you God, lot of things that i used to, i don't wanna
run the streets like i used to, i know i'm gonna speak the word for you one day, up in there like, "Hallelujah!" on Sunday, i thank you Lord for the blessings that you gave me, and for my life with the blessings you have saved me, and for my life you have carried me enough times, and that's the truth, married me to rough times, throughout my youth, and through it all i saw that you was still with me, i was that one lost sheep and you was comin to get me...i look at life a little different now, since you hugged me, and i always loved my peoples, but now they love me, thank you for the love Lord, we praise ya, Jacob's descendants, from Africa to Asia, pleadin the blood of Christ over our life, wrong or right, just help us make it through the night and we'll shout yo' name in times of need, and times of joy, and, when we bleed, and when we are overcome with greed, you ain't gon' half to tell me twice, i'ma take heed, and because of what you've given me, i know you'll deliver me, and i won't drown no matter how deep the river be, you are the strength i never knew i had, kept the heart good when they told me it was bad, all praises due to ya, that's why i had to dedicate somethin new to ya, thank you father...i never knew a love like, this before, messin with the thug life i, missed it all, you opened the doors and, let me in, i'm down for the cause so, let's begin, prayers that you give to me i give to them, same way you live in me i live in them, life is a blessing now, you got me smilin from inside of my heart, when inside it was dark, and it doesn't rain anymore
only sunshine, no pain anymore, i really love my people, you washed away the tears with the fears, and i'm happier than i've ever been in my life, the whole sixteen years,you know that!, one day I'll speak the word, you know that!, when i do i will be heard, you know that!, you gave me a permanent smile
and you know this father because i'm yo' child......
