I come to you hungry and tired, you give food and let me sleep

I come to you weak, you give strength and that's deep

You called me a sheep and lead me to green pastures

Only asking that I keep the focus in between the chapters You give me the word and only ask that I interpret

And give me the eyes that I may recognize the serpent

You know, I ain't perfect but you'd like me to try

And just like the devil who wants me to lie till I die Lord why is it that I go through so much pain?

All I saw was black and all I felt was rain

I come to you because it's you who knows

To show me that everything is black because my eyes were closed You gave me the light and let me bask in your glory

So it was only right that when you asked for this story

I put together to do our dogs some good

Our dogs being brothers and sisters in the hood Plenty of times you sent help my way but I hid

And I remember once you held me close but I slid

There was something that I just had to see

That you wanted me to see so I could be what you wanted me to be And I think I've seen it 'cuz I don't feel the same

Matter of fact, I know, I have seen it I can feel the change

And it's strange almost got me beating down your door

But I have never known love like this before It's a wonderful feeling to get away from the pain

And up under the ceiling I get away from the rain

And the strain that I feel when I'm here is gone

I know real so I wipe away the tears it's on And I almost lost faith in you when you took my man Monty

Pass over chase a brother down and I fear that what I saying

Won't be heard until I'm gone But it's all good, 'cause I really didn't expect to live long

So if it takes for me to suffer for me brother to see the light

Give me pain till I die but please Lord treat him right
