you better watch your step if you want to go there
uh when I was a boy I had to be a man when they told me I couldn't I told them
that I can this guy's playing the way that things depend out I got my life
up to stress so ain't no need to pass the choir sing in the missionary shop
but when that church organ plays that's what my tears get to pouring out just a
kid from the soil trying to prosper how to hearing gunshots and sirens and
helicopters grew up around killers villains and robbers drug dealers kind
artists and slick talkers they say that if you got talent you post
together
use it all my life I've been around music played the drums in elementary
all the way through 12th start rapping in seventh grade now I got records on the
shelf hard work dedication and test of
fortitude a real hustle out the hood determined to be that we didn't get
everything in our christmas bag the other kids had but whatever we had we
was glad uh god is good and I'm okay with being
underrated no matter what they think about me man I'm made
sometimes I just wish that I could fly away I'm strutting but I'm searching for a better day
I know
I know I can make it, I know I can make it Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm struggling but I'm searching for a better day
I know I can make it, I know I can make it
I'm sugar tea, I've been often underestimated A chick in the game gotta carry a weight of sugar slated
I was a teen mom, an ugly duckling from the swine But to this very day I remain a hip hop mom
Didn't always make the best choices, but that's okay I still hold the title, the queen of the bay
It was only God's grace that I'm still alive Cause to be a boss lady you gotta pay the price
I used to be quick to pull a dick, quick to check a trick
I messed around and found out that rapping was one of my gifts
Legendary, I make history still I could take the pimpster's route or I could pay my own bill
I know I can make it even though they play it hatin' Eventually they'll be congratulatin'
Cash rules everything around, but game is priceless
Everything around the game is priceless
And when we die we better hope we make the right list
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away I'm struggling, but I'm searching for a better day
I know I can make it, I know I can make it
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away I'm struggling, but I'm searching for a better day
I know I can make it, I know I can make it
Ancient man, I know I can make it Through these hard times
I fall on my knees and cry after God, a friend of mine
He's a very present help
Through the storm and the rain
As them tears drop down your cheek, you ease the pain
My God, we've been made into it for a night
But joy comes in the morning
You gon' make it through the night
When it's dark in your life
Look towards God, cause he's the light that shines bright
If light can enter the tunnel, continue to fight the good fight
Cause faith is the substance of the things we hope for
When hard times come, there's God knockin' at your door
Remindin' us all to fall on our knees and pray
But give us hope to let us know there's a brighter day
Sunshine after the rain, joy comin' right after the rain
Through the pain, it's ancient man, E-40 and sugar tea
Y'all know we all go through hard times
But we gon' make it out for sure
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm struttin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it, I know I can make it
Sometimes I just wish that I could fly away
I'm struttin' but I'm searchin' for a better day
I know I can make it, I know I can make it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
If problems never came our way
Never came our way
And only sunshine will never rain
Never rain
Now we know what it means to pray
Needs to pray
If problems never came our way
Came our way
And in your heart there is no song
There is no song
And if your brother has done you wrong, call on the Father and don't delay.
Just get on your knees and pray.
If problems never came our way, and only sunshine and never rain,
you know what it means to pray.
If problems never came our way, and in your heart there is no song,
and if your brother has done you wrong, call on the Father and don't delay.
Just get on your knees and pray.
Amen.
Just get on your knees and pray.
