We've Come a Long Way
13 people in a one bedroom apartment scraping spare change and put it in a empty milk carton I was waiting on income tax so I could get that 2 grand, because hard times had my face buried in my two hands I was, weak in the knees so tell me how could I stand; no money in my pocket I'm feeling less of a man Moma, I ain't forget some nights we had to sacrifice with a fan in the window so they wouldnt turn out the lights But that was the past, and look at you now; over an acre a land and about to build that house on the ground With a lack of transportation, I needed a ride; and I never really had the best that money could buy But thanks be to God for keeping my life in order; ot times I struggled just to keep my head above the water
No money to pay the next bill and I didn't know what to do but I thing I knew is that I didn't have a clue and the bills were due we came a long way
This 2nd verse is to my brother, aye dude I love you; and even if I had the option I wouldn't replace you with another. I remember first fighting and us cussing one another and not having respect because we did it in front of mother Our personalities differ, we like day and night and you were, off to the army when you took your first flight. And when you moved away to daddy's Ray that hurt my heart But I tried to cover it up by saying I hated your guts Yea its been a long road, even bumpy at times I still look up to you, even when you grumpy at times Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Because you my big brother, and you're one of a kind and you can't quote me on this, whenever I shine you shine And now you have a son and its pulled you to a new start, people can say what they want but none has a bigger heart
Grady Hypolite Jr. you'll forever be my brother and the day has finally come that we can laugh with each other
Last but certainly not least, this goes out to my God who, gave me salvation when I couldn't save myself The one that took me in when I hated myself even when I fell in sin, and degraded myself I ain't pay him no attention for like 19 years; But he never left my side during them 19 years And I've shed many tears and I've had plenty fears and I've let him down so much I've wondered how could he love me The shape my sin put me in had me looking ugly when I wanted to give up he took me by the hand and drug me And you've had patients and so much longsuffering; granted forgiveness even when I pushed the wrong buttons Thank you for walking with me and being so gentle and pouring out your love to me when I was a sinner
You planted me in yourself now I'm starting to grow we've come a long way but still got so far to go I love you Jesus
