Been There 4 Me Lyrics

Ay... Lord... Lord

Through up and downs

Tribulations and trials

You been there for me

You been there for me

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

As I reminisce on past times down and feeling lonely

After being done wrong by those I thought I could call my homies

When shawtys' love flipped and was proven deep infatuation

But like Pimp Squad I still loved her though she seemed to hate me

Same one's I uplifted to keep fighting through their times of pain

Left me in the dust with no protection in the hurricane

Plenty days I felt that rain symbolized my tears

Who knew real niggas would be crucified by their peers

I've made mistakes like any man, but I kept my soul and character

And never switched on real friends for a false sense of acceptance

Never thought one minute I'd be stuck and left in this position

What was a perfect painting has now become a tainted picture

Living my life solo, for love I'm no longer seeking

Focused on making music the real can feel and believe in

Through ups and downs you remained when all others left me

Lord I thank you, for your blessings

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

Remember the times inside I felt that I wanted to die

Cause it seemed for me there was only negativity in life

Daily seeking for what's my purpose and reason for living

Only finding vanity and insanity, lacking enrichment

If one deep how I gots to ride then I'ma roll nigga

Gave love before and got done wrong, made a cold spirit

Emotionally frozen from being scorned in the war

Catatonic state of mind resulting from a broken heart

Was I cursed to suffer hurt though I speak truth and not glibbery

Cause I speak from my heart instead of cliches and fake imagery

Betrayed by those I only sought to encourage and love

Got me thinking Lord, tell me, what have I done

Presented myself as kind, friendly, loving, and true

And in return got betrayed, battered, spit on and used

These are the truths of a nigga feeling lost and encaged

Who any minute could've hit that kill switch and then dissipate

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

As times it seems I'm lost without a penny of direction

Asking questions bout why it seems down a hellish path I'm heading

Seeking refuge in a world full of traps and snares

Where many talk bout showing love yet so few seem to care

In living hell or some type prison it feels I've been placed in

Finding no trace of hope or guided path to help escape it

So many tears shed from a spirit turned brittle and hopeless

Empty shell feeling like a ghost for which none care or notice

Have I been left alone to struggle and left out to dry

With fruitless visions, a broken heart, and a scattered mind

Many nights this life do truly seem to fiend to take my vision

While alone and trying to hold on by the skin of my spirit

Maybe I'm tormented by demons deep in my inner most parts

Living outcasted from all lavishness of joy in the heart

Even though I feel like Jesus screaming "God, why forsake me?"

Somehow I still feel that He'll save me on the daily

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials

When so called friends was nowhere to be found

You been there for me... Lord... you been there for me

Ay

Lord

Thank you

For keeping me

And protecting me

And being there... for me
