Behind The Musik

歌詞

Featuring Pee-Wee June 26th 1975 In Miami Florida was the place where I first arrived My parents smiled as I opened up my blue eyes Cuz they was newly married and I was just their first child My pop was from Jersey my mom was from Miami They met in Bed Stuy Brooklyn New York City At art college and yep they was hippies So I guess that just makes me a child of the sixties But anyway we didn't stay we moved to Plant City Then to Lakeland then to Tampa then to Ybor City Living in the hood where things are never ever pretty The only white kid smack dab in the inner city My playground is a parking lot plus a back alley At times I would wake up in the dark with no electricity On top of that we struggling cause we got no money And going through this inside it's killing me Chorus On and on On and on Your love goes (this is Behind the Musik) On and on On and on (And I'm a take yall Behind the Musik) I was about 6 when all this was going on Things began to change everything I knew was up and gone They separated on the weekends I would see my mom Still living with my pops in the hood but not for too long When I was nine they divorced and I was moving on To the suburbs with mom cause the courts said it's wrong For me to live with dad in the hood so I'm up and gone Mom remarried had a baby we living in my grandma's home We living in a neighborhood that's middle class But I felt poor cause of some things that I didn't have Time passed we moved out but things still ain't right I'm slipping fast at home all I do is yell and fight My grades start to crash plus I ran away twice And almost got shot by the cops one single night I started high school and I just party all the time But little did I know what was gonna happen to my life Chorus At 15 I had a talk with my cousin got me thinking Was there more to life than girls partying and drinking I picked up his Bible and started reading Revelation For some reason I was crying when I reached the ending Now God was working on me and this was the beginning The first time in long while when I started praying I had to move again and say goodbye to everyone My dad and my friends once again was all up and gone Brand new school by myself sitting all alone Feeling like a foot every single day I'm coming home But I would listen every night in my bedroom To gospel radio preach about Christ and just then soon I gave my life to him everything became new I was born again I've never been the same dude Ya took my sin and my guilt and let them blame you And on and on through the years you always came through Chorus It was November and the year was 1995 I still remember the very first date with my wife And I was on my own doing shows part time Twenty years old just trying to make something of my life I moved away from home when I was only eighteen Broke as a joke making music trying to chase the dream And everybody seems to think I'm crazy except for me But God was there every time to supply my needs I went on staff at a church in the inner city Writing rhymes in my spare time for my CD I mailed a demo to a label called Gotee And out of nowhere Todd Collins up and called me He said he heard my junk and plus he wanted to sign me My heart jumped and plus I wanted to cry and scream But all I did was hung up the phone quietly And thanked God how he always provided for me Chorus
