Band: DMX
Song: A Minute For Your Son

[DMX] 
You got a minute for yo' son father, I need to talk 
I'm so tired of tryin to run father, let's take a walk 
I'm so sorry for what I done father, it ain't my fault 
But the devil's been on my back lately, he's like a hawk 
You never give us more than we can handle, but it's gettin hard 
And I'm a strong individual, but I need you God 
Lot of things that I used to, I don't wanna 
run the streets like I used to, I know I'm gonna 
speak the word for you one day 
Up in there like, "Hallelujah!" on Sunday 
I thank you Lord for the blessings that you gave me 
And for my life with the blessings you have saved me 
And for my wife you have carried me enough times - and that's the truth 
Married me to rough times, throughout my youth 
And through it all I saw that you was still with me 
I was that one lost sheep and you was comin to get me 

[Chorus] 
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like.. 
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like.. 
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like.. 
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like.. 

[DMX] 
I look at life a little different now, since you hugged me 
And I always loved my peoples, but now they love me 
Thank you for the love Lord, we praise ya 
Jacob's descendants, from Africa to Asia 
Pleadin the blood of Christ over our life 
Wrong or right, just help us make it through the night and we'll 
shout yo' name in times of need 
And times of joy, and, when we bleed 
And, when we are overcome with greed 
You ain't gon' half to tell me twice, I'ma take heed 
And because of what you've given me, I know you'll deliver me 
And I won't drown no matter how deep the river be 
You are the strength I, never knew I had 
Kept the heart good when they told me it was bad 
All praises due to ya 
That's why I had to dedicate somethin new to ya, thank you father 

[Chorus] 

[DMX] 
Uhh.. 
I never knew a love like, this before 
Messin with the thug life I, missed it all 
You opened the doors and, let me in 
I'm down for the cause so, let's begin 
Prayers that you give to me I give to them 
Same way you live in me I live in them 
Life is a blessing now 
You got me smilin from inside of my heart, when inside it was dark 
And it doesn't rain anymore 
Only sunshine, no pain anymore, I really love my 
You washed away the tears with the fears 
I'm happier than I've ever been in my life, the whole thirty years 
You know that! one day I'll speak the word 
You know that! when I do I will be heard 
You know that! you gave me a permanent smile 
And you know this father because I'm yo' child, what? 

[Chorus] 

[Chorus] - (minus second half of each line) 

[Chorus] - repeat 2X
