Faith Evans

Uh And all we ever had was faith Through the highs and the lows Ups and downs You believe in God or a higher power I swear it'll always get better if you believe Just look at me, I'm living proof Look Sitting back watching life go different from how I planned it Went from star athlete on a campus To an artist with a canvas Just to put my mama in the mansion Or my niggas back home to do it massive My worst fear is never seeing your purpose appear Being a has-been Last is being broke or in a casket They ask me what you think you finna do With trying to pursue this rap shit? I know I ain't Hov but I'm hope for those that lack it With the skill of the first pick And hunger of the last pick I felt like I was handpicked to lead with this canvas And paint the perfect picture for my peers to understand it I rise above it, you just in a bucket on some crab shit I just wanna eat good, you know steak, crab, shrimp And make the perfect album you can spin without a damn skip I'm wrapped in the truth like rubber bands to the cash While these other niggas run and go and stretch it like elastic I lost friends to women and death, shit was tragic But that was God showing me exactly where my path is I guess you could say that faith was always on my side Cause I know plenty niggas that had died Or other niggas that don't have a roof on the boulevard they reside Or a cell with a bail that's denied Prayed and I cried for understanding in the pain I endured I turned out good, I guess the damages were insured And I'm sure Uh And faith was on my side I just don't know why He keeps on blessing me Hey, and faith's been on my side He's been good I can't lie I'm right where I want to be Faith is what got me here When I had nothing else It kept me sane It kept me humble Kazie Man le Fleur, Langston Blues Poetical Flows
