Where My Dad Lyrics

[dmx] I know that my savior lives And at the end, he will stand on this earth My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I will see god Yes, I will see him for myself - and I long for that moment Grandma, I really miss you and it ain?t been the same I drop a tear when i, hear yo? name Mariella holloway, why you gotta be so far away? Used to say, don?t worry, it?s gon? be okay But it ain?t - it?s like when you left, you took the lord witchu Why couldn?t I come when he came to get you? Damn I really miss you - I had to say it again I remember the time when I was like ten Crept up in the neighbor?s yard, yeah, bein hard headed You told me I would get it - you said it! And boy did I get it, but after you spanked me, you hugged me Kissed me on my forehead, told me that you love me And I saw, that it hurt you, more than it hurt me I thought - how bad could this hurt be? I know now That?s why it?s only done out of love What I wouldn?t give for one mo? hug, from grandma [chorus: faith evans] Baby it?s gon? be okay (she used to tell me that) Baby it?s gon? be okay (I really miss hearin) Baby it?s gon? be okay (she used to tell me that) Baby it?s gon? be okay (I really miss hearin) [dmx] What I?m about to say a couple of family members is gon? hate me But i?ma let you know what?s been goin on lately Now you know since you left, a lot of things witcho kids done changed Yeah jackie?s still crazy, don?t know what?s up with james Ain?t seen jerry in a while, you know he walk like you And renee?s back in jail, you know she talk like you Riculah?s(? ) doin real good now, she workin Rhonda?s still runnin around, trickin, jerkin Buckeye?s buggin, he done lost his mind And jarvis? back out of jail, doin fine Kylie? he done changed, it ain?t all about self As for my father.. well, that?s somethin else But that?s my dog, he hold his grandmother down My great grandmother, makin a lot of trips out of town But that?s a good thing, and if I could only hear you sing Once more, oh lord, the comfort it would bring [chorus] [dmx] You left behind a mother (and) eleven kids (and) eleven grandkids And since then, two of yo? grandkids done had kids They had a boy named tacoma, xavier?s brother, that?s right Xavier?s means you a great grandmother I thank you for the best times of my life I thank you for when you first met her, accepted and lovin my wife I thank you for those sunday dinners, they were vital I thank you for my - life, I thank you for the bible I thank you for the songs that you sing in the mornin (amazing grace..) while I?m yawnin I thank you for the two beatings you gave me Cause I know somewhere along the line The lesson I learned from the two beatings saved me And when you died I cried like a baby, I begged the lord to take me Cause no one else could give me what you gave me But life like everything comes to an end I pray I go to heaven to see you again - amen [chorus] - repeat 2x [faith evans] Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I?m found Was blind, but now I see, yeahhh
