[Talk:]
This jam is dedicated to my brother Winki who is looking down on me from
Heaven Watching my every move as usual....


[Chorus:]
There but for the grace of god do I go do I go

There but for the grace of God do I go do I go-go

I'm trying to take my time on this rhyme

But it's bustin from the seems
Like a fantasy and eagerness of dreams
I'm moving all around

Oh yes,I'm making leaps an bounds
Theres so much s- to say, no time to write it down
I'm skippin' to this and skippin' to that

I've overflowed my cup.
I'm flowin' kind of quick I hope you can keep up
Every ain't cool just cause you slap me on my hand

There're things about all of ya'll have got to understand
Latifah- never was a teacher
Never was a preacher

Never was a saint
Never was conceited
Never was defeated

Sometimes I get tired sometimes I want to faint.
But I never shut up when things piss me off
And if I got to curse at you to get my point across

Thats what I got to do thats how it's got to be
I've got an angel watching over me


[Chorus x2]

There but for the grace.... (if you lose your mind) Search and find... Its time to move on, what's going on in your mind, try to find a piece of mind, when your blind the world's unkind, got to find, keep the rhyme everytime never gone, I keep on, I keep, I keep on, Strive on, Strive on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, break it down, The Lord is the light, the light, of my life


The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world
Oh, Yes he did, yes he did

The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world
You don't hear me
Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world Yes he did, yes he did (There but for the grace of god do I go do I go), The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world


Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world, world, world, world, world(There but for the grace of god do I go do I go)
