If It Wasn’t For You

Lyrics

In these days and times Man, I can't put it into words Gotta give credit where it's due Man, if it wasn't for you, you know what I'd be, any of us All praises due to Allah [Verse 1] I'm no different, I'm the same as a lot of men But your hand's the only one that I can put my problems in I appreciate all the blessings that you be droppin' in And helping me out of every situation that I was in I can't thank you enough for being patient with Me being evasive, complaining in my ungratefulness The times you made a way for me when I was paperless And all I had to do was pray for it, no need to make a wish Then with God speed, velocity I'm blessed An eternal amount of words could never properly express I'm tryna overcome my slippin' and rebellion And wipe my slate clean of every duty that I failed in And if I please you what men think don't matter then 'cause any status granted by man pales in comparison Want you to know that forever that these are words that I'll Never change, signed K-Rino, your imperfect child [Chorus] If it wasn't for you, I would be a misguided soul I appreciate the gifts that you allowed me to hold And if I lost it all tomorrow, still you I would choose Because if not for you, I wouldn't've had possessions to lose If it wasn't for you, I would be a misguided soul I appreciate the gifts that you allowed me to hold And if I lost it all tomorrow, still you I would choose Because if not for you, I wouldn't've had possessions to lose [Verse 2] They say you work in mysterious ways It ain't mysterious, we hear you when our spirit is raised As I travel through the darkness among these strangers You navigated me past all the unseen dangers And I didn't fall short, I fell far to new depths But I'm wise enough to know that you guided this fool's steps Pullin' me up and then helpin' me out of the trouble A lot of people turn on you as soon as they face the struggle But Jesus was a prophet, you made it tough for him So if they choose not to believe in you, that's up to them So I submit no matter how hard it get And I can't lie, it's been a lot of times I wanted to quit I remember one day complaining 'bout my life and its facets 'bout how bad I was doin' and how hard that I had it Then you humbled me at a corner store when I passed it Saw a homeless family walkin', pushin' a basket, sayin' [Chorus] If it wasn't for you, I would be a misguided soul I appreciate the gifts that you allowed me to hold And if I lost it all tomorrow, still you I would choose Because if not for you, I wouldn't've had possessions to lose If it wasn't for you, I would be a misguided soul I appreciate the gifts that you allowed me to hold And if I lost it all tomorrow, still you I would choose Because if not for you, I wouldn't've had possessions to lose [Verse 3] When I can't confide in nobody, you willing to listen Providing solutions to problems when answers are missing You helped me go to war with all the ratchetness in my system All those I'll-never-do-it-agains if you just get me through this one So it's necessary I pray each and every day Thankin' him for a ton of things that I can never repay You either with him or you not with him, no areas gray A man is judged by how much his sins and charities weigh All the times that you saved me, nothing should cause doubt Non-coincidental last minute blessings I lost count If living to be a thousand, I could do such And you never do nothing else for me, you did too much And if I never reach the level of a breakthrough star I'm just grateful that I get to see how great you are The world might say I'm nothing but accept that never I look in the mirror and see the most blessed man ever [Chorus] If it wasn't for you, I would be a misguided soul I appreciate the gifts that you allowed me to hold And if I lost it all tomorrow, still you I would choose Because if not for you, I wouldn't've had possessions to lose If it wasn't for you, I would be a misguided soul I appreciate the gifts that you allowed me to hold And if I lost it all tomorrow, still you I would choose Because if not for you, I wouldn't've had possessions to lose
