lyrics

I spoke to my preacher this morning
What on earth is a boy to do?
I say my house don't feel like home and the foundation's falling through
I spoke to my preacher this morning, asked what on earth is a boy to do?
He said "Son you were only brought into the world to shine a small light into a dark room"

Talked to my mother last night
Tell me mama what you think of me?
Ain't got a dime to my name, just mistakes and apologies
I spoke to my mother last night, tell me mama what you think of me?
"Son you are old enough to be a man now, better trust in God, live and let it be"

I wrote a letter to my lover
Ain't the grass greener on the other side?
It's been raining here for days baby but my fields be dust and dry
I wrote a letter to my lover, ain't the grass greener on the other side?
PS I still love you baby, yea, my black clouds are turning into blue skies
That means you can come on home whenever you want to
Come on now

I prayed to my God last night
To wake me up from my sleep
I might not deserve it Lord but my soul ain't ready for you to keep
I prayed to my God last night, please wake me up from my sleep
I ain't saying how to handle business but I got a couple things to do before me and you meet
I ain't saying how to handle business but I got a couple things to do before me and you meet
I ain't saying how to handle business no, I got a couple things to do before me and you meet
