Faith Evans Lyrics

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
