Tekst :

No, No it ain t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I m telling you God s been good to me

Growing up in a real big family
I had to a take what I could get
There was always a sister or brother
I had to share every thing with
I had to share my room, wear hand-me-downs
Cause we didn t have much money
But now there s not much I long for
Telling you God s been good to me

No, No it ain t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I m telling you God s been good to me

You may think I ve got it easy
And that s the way it s always been
But that s not really my story
I ll tell you how it all happened
I had to work real hard to get here
But I didn t do it all alone
Someone was watching over me
And that is why I sing this song

No, No it ain t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I m telling you God s been good to me

If I began to count my blessings
I wouldn t know where to begin
God has done so much for me
He s been much more that a friend
He s been protector and provider
Though I didn t always know
Always been right beside me
And without him where would I be

No, No it ain t the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, When I think about all my blessings
I, oh I m telling you God s been good to me

Tekst :

Tragedies are commonplace
All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away
Economies down, people don t get
Enough pay
But as for me all I can say is
Thank you Lord for all you done for me

Folks without homes are in the streets
And the drug habit some say
They just can t beat
Muggers and robbers, no place seems
To be safe
But you ve been my protection every
Step of the way
And I want to say
thank you Lord for all you ve done
For me hey?

[Lead:] It could ve been me
[Chorus:] Thank you
[L:] Outdoors
[C:] Thank you
[L:] With no food
[C:] Thank you
[L:] And no clothes
[C:] Thank you
[L:] All left alone
[C:] Thank you
[L:] Without a friend
[C:] Thank you
[L:] Or just another number
[C:] Thank you
[L:] With a tragic end
[C:] Thank you
[L:] But you didn t see fit
[C:] Thank you
[L:] To let none of these things be
[C:] Thank you
[L:] You keep on, keeping on, keeping me
[C:] Thank you
[L:] I wanna say
[Chorus:] Thank you Lord for all you ve done for me

I wanna thank you for your love
Thank you for your power
Thank you for protection, every hour
Thank you

Tekst :

When you say love
You use it so lightly
But when I think of it
This is what comes to me
Loving me, where I am
How I am
Just for who I am
All my good and bad
Sure you think
It s not a possibility
Something so pure it changes me
When after all these years it s still
The same
Just as strong as it was on the first day

[Chorus:]
This love this love
The only love
That comes down from the heavens
([F. Hammond:] why do you love)
Better than mothers, better than
Fathers oh oh oh
This love this love
This love is your love
This love is my love
([F. Hammond:] why do you love)
This love this love
From God the Father
God up in heaven you oughta know

[F. Hammond:]
So you ask, what about me
Sounds real good
But doesn t fit the life I lead
But let me tell you something
There is nothing new under the sun
n I don t care what you ve done
His heart is or everyone

[Chorus]

Everybody oughta know his love is real
Said you really oughta know
Tell me can you feel
Everybody oughta know
I m talking to you
Please don t walk away from

[Chorus]

This love this love

[Intro: Killah Priest]
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to +Priesthood+
If you purchased this album from a store
Or you got a copy from a friend
You about to witness one of hip hop s greatest secrets
That the record industry tried to...

Passenger side, I slide on in
Vinyl seats soft from the heat of the sun
Chewin on a Slim Jim, can t stop
thinkin about him
Yeah, yeah, yeah he s the one
Yeah, yeah, yeah he s the one

Chorus:...

Never-never, never gonna - 3x

[Hook]
We hustling, we grinding
We shining, never gonna give up
We strolling, we rolling
We holding, never gonna give up
They faking, they hating
They waiting, never gonna give up
We tripping, no slipping
My click, ain t never gonna give up

[Lil Keke]
I take a second to cash a second to mash,...

I cannot wait
or stick around
I m giving up
I m face down
it s not me
it s not you
but I m still in this room

Hey you choose it
Hey you abused it

It s not you wipe the tears aside
and you cry...

Get your money, get your cash young nigga
This for them gangsta niggaz, this for them gangstas
The Young Don, don t get it twisted
I m from day one, I m a throwback gangsta nigga ha-ha

[Lil Keke]
It s been a long time, and ain t no sense in me lying
But if...
