Ups and Downs Lyrics

I had visions of a dream that I seen through my eyes

The road to get there was so real, so many nights I cried

Didn't know how I would make it, but everyday I tried

It's nice to know you always win when God is on your side

From crib to crib and whip to whip, I never lost my mind

I lost my sense of faith, no cap, I really had some times

But when you're down, he's sends an angel to keep you on your guide

In my case, he sent Rae's of shine and a butterfly

I was always taught that when you live like Christ, you live it right

And make sure all your moves are precious in his sight

I'm thinking I'm good, I know God, I'ma be alright

But what you give is what you get, just a word of advice

I had to take initiative to put some time aside

Get on bended knee and talk to God about my vibes

The good, the bad, the ugly urple, all my fears inside

But you also have to wait to hear his reply

I think so many times we pray and think he answers fast

But if you really want the blessing, sometimes the troubles last

But the more that you face, the more he'll give you grace

True words from Bishop Jones, the more it hurts, the more you praise

Sometimes the hurt comes from yourself, but you still need help

I had to swim out of my mess like I was Michael Phelps

And when you finally see the dream you visioned for a while

You can tell another one to gain another child

So with my hands held high I can finally say

That I wouldn't be here without his grace

Through all my ups and downs and through all my mistakes

His love will never change

So with my hands held up high I can finally say

That I wouldn't be here without his grace

Through all my ups and downs and through all my mistakes

His love will never change

Lotta folks tell you they win, but never tell you how

They tell you that they won the case, but don't describe the trial

God will never leave you in trouble or how you stranded out

But on my mom's and P-O-P, you gotta hold it down

I lost two cars, lost three jobs, and lost my confidence

You ever struggle to send a message to get help from friends

They said they'll always be there, no lie, they had my back

But my pride left me thinking I'd rather penny-pinch

But he never lets you struggle

and not give a hand

He got me on my feet and now I'm a working man

I got a job and got a crib, I'm glad with who I am

And pretty soon a lovely wife with a ring on her hand

See, I can't tell you how long your weeping nights will last

But you gotta stand on what he promised, truly steadfast

If he can do it for your boy, I know your time is soon

Just make sure you give him praises when your time is due

So with my hands held high, I can finally say

That I wouldn't be here without his grace

Through all my ups and downs and through all my mistakes

His love will never change

So with my hands held up high , I can finally say

That I wouldn't be here without his grace

Through all my ups and downs and through all my mistakes

His love will never change, yeah
