Hey you, depending on your gifts to get you through 
 
  
  and thinking all your problems are solved by man.
  
 
 Don't you be no fool God uses people and your gifts
 
 together as tools
  
 
 to build solid ground for you to stand.
  
 
 Believe me when I say...
  
 
 Hook
  
 
 Each day I get down on my knees and I pray.
  
 
 Grateful that the Lord keeps me sane.
  
 
 Give thanks for people like my family
  
 
 and a clean slate is what he starts me out with each
 
 day
  
 
 Hey you, still depending on your gifts to make it
 
 through.
  
 
 Soon you will learn that you'll get no where fast.
  
 
 I tried that, too therefore I'm here to pass this
 
 wisdom on to you
  
 
 so that your future won't be like your past.
  
 
 Believe me when I say...

 It's true, I had bills due.
  
 
 No loot to get through.
  
 
 Lookin' at my music thinkin' I could use it
  
 
 to get through it, brotha don't you do it
  
 
 because it's painful and shameful 
  
 
 trying to stand on quicksand.
  
 
 I called on a favor from the Savior
  
 
 He rescued me and told me to tell you...

 Each day you got to get down on your knees and you
 
 pray.
  
 
 Be grateful that the Lord keeps you sane.
  
 
 Give thanks for people like your family
  
 
 and a clean slate is what he'll start you out with
 
 each day.
