[regina bell harmonizing while dmx speaks]
what good is it..
for a man to, gain the world..
yet lose his own soul, in the process?
[bell] God loves you, yes he does
said youre alright with him
[dmx] I wonder..
Chorus: regina bell (repeat 2x)
I know you never seen him but dont fight with him
Youre gonna make it through the night to the light with him
Uhh, youre alright with him
I said youre alright with him
[dmx]
Im callin out to you lord, because I need your help
See once again Im havin difficulty savin myself
Behavin myself, you told me what to do, and I do it
But every and now and then, gets a little harder to go through it
Losin friends, day by day
Im in so much pain when Im here lord, please take me away
I put you here to do a job, and your work aint done
to live is to suffer, but youre still my son
and there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars
but there wont be a, his or hers, just ours
then youll see what Ive been tryin to show you, all these years
do the right thing; cause after the tears, come the cheers
I will, my lord, with my heart, and my soul
Thats gonna be how I roll, from now until Im old
Lead and Ill follow, you take away the sorrow
Ima sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow
Chorus
[dmx]
I want you to know lord, that for what youve given me Im thankful
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, Im grateful
You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak
And that way when I speak, they know Im here to teach
Cant tell em nothin wrong, cause I love em too much
I reach a lot of people, and lord, Im lovin the touch
But deep inside, Ive got somethin thats workin against
Everything I know is right, what I know makes sense
thats when you must fight harder, than youve ever fought before
cause what youve got goin on inside you is a war
between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you
they smile, but are not really happy when they see you
be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high
cause when the time comes, that onell let you die
listen to me! Im here, but I can only help you
if you want me to help, what do you want for yourself?
Chorus
[dmx]
My lord, my saviour, dont judge my behaviour
But instead, take whats in my heart and put it in my head
See I guess I really never knew, how proud I made you
My life is yours, my soul I gave you
I dont know if Ill do good enough (hes by your side)
And we both know the hood is rough (right by your side)
Sometimes I dont know what to do (x, dry your eyes)
But I know what I gotta do (itll be alright)
You keep givin me the word, and Ill put it to song
Talk to me, Ill talk to them, and we cant go wrong
This is the start of somethin strong, and this is just the start of it
Praises to you my lord, for lettin me be a part of it
I was that kid that, been there, did that
Became ashamed so I hid that
But, aint no longer with that
Use me as an example - if I can do, then they can too
With the lord behind us, there aint nothin that we cant do
Chorus
[regina bell]
Hes by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause itll be alright
Yeah, hes by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause, itssssssssss gonna be alright
Yeah yeah, yes it isssssssssss
