| I drank with the demon and I've partied with the beast
I've allowed myself to drown from the west-side to the east
I can't quite remember just how long I was deceased
but I remember it like yesterday...the day I was released
I remember cryin' to the Lord on the day I was set free
I hung my head low, but I didn't cry for me
I cried out for my mama to please come back
Not to leave me all alone in a world so black
and as my mama lay lifeless, her body cold on the floor
then and there I swore that I'd waste my life no more
because I know that she loved me to her very last breath
I let her down in life, I wouldn't let her down in death
No more would she see me drinkin', no more puff-puff-pass
and no more teary-eyed visits from behind the glass
and no more puttin' money on my jailhouse books
And that's when I knew God's plan may not be how it looks
because lookin' back on it, she faced the same sad tomorrow
The same days as mine, days of pain, days of sorrow
because we battled the same beast and we faced the same demon
and when we were drowning in that bottle, it was Christ who heard us screamin'
It was Christ who showed us mercy, it was Christ who set us free
By having mercy on my mama...Christ had mercy on me
I still miss my mama like a lost little kid
She would have died for me, and in a way, she did |
