Dmx - A Minute For Your Son lyrics

You got a minute for your son, Father?

I need to talk I’m so tired of trying to run, Father

Let’s take a walk I’m so sorry for whut I’ve done, Father

It ain’t my fault 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

A lot of things that I used to I don’t wanna

Runnin tha streets like i used ta

I know i’m gonna speak the word for you one day

Up in the light -- Halleluiah!! -- on Sunday

I thank you Lord for the blessings that you gave me

And for my life the blessings taht you have saved me

and for my wife

you have carried me ‘nuff times and that’s the truth

carried me through the rough times throughout my youth

and through it that i saw you was still wit me

i was that one lost sheep and you was comin to get me

[chorus]

lord, you got me like..... your luv got me like....

lord, you got me like.... your luv got me like....

lord, you got me like.... your luv got me like....

lord, you got me like.... your luv GOT ME LIKE....

i’m lookin at life a lil’ different now since you hugged me

and i always luved my people but now they luv me

thank you for the luv, Lord, we praise ya

Jacob, ascendents, from africa to asia

bleeding the blood of Christ over our life

Wrong or right just help us make it through the night

And we’ll shout your name in times of need

and times of joy and when we bleed

and when we are overcome with grief

you don’t have to tell me twice; i’ma take heed

and because of whut 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 my heart true when they told me you was bad

all praises due to you that’s why i had to dedicate sumthin new to ya

thank you lord

[chorus]

Uhhh i never knew a luv like this before

messin with the Thug Life, i missed it all

open up the doors and let me in

i’m done wit the cards so let’s begin

prayers that you give to me, i give to them

life is a blessing now you got me smiling

from inside of my heart when inside it was dark

and it doesn’t rain any more only sunshine

no pain anymore.... i really luv mine

you wash away the tears with the fears

i’m happier than i’ve ever been in my life, in thirty years

you know that

one day i’ll speak the word

you know that!

when i do, i will be hear

you know that!

you have me a permanenet smile

and you know this, Father, cuz i’m ur child!!
