"Have You Ever" lyrics
(feat. New Rain)
You know the biggest prison some of us live in
Is the penitentiary of other people's opinion
You know what I mean
(Well well well well)
Feel me doe
Folk a come in and out yo life like a bull in a china shop
(Can I get a witness?)
Have you going out of your way to consider them
And they could care less about you?
You know what I'm saying
(Um um um)
I don't know maybe I'm tripping
We wanna ask you this
Have you ever blessed someone who really needed your help
Have you ever went out of your way to make sure your love was felt
Have you ever start feeling the shade after you pull them out of the mud
Have you ever cried real tears because they've used you up
Have you ever prayed for someone to take your love off the shelf
Have you ever then you found that one and then you lost yourself
Have you ever felt like a fool when it all came to an end
Have you ever said to yourself, "I'll never love again."?
We know that in this life
(We know that in this life)
There will be questions why
(There will be questions)
Why must it be so hard
(Why must it be so hard)
Why must it be so hard
(You know)
Sometimes your sacrifice
(Your sacrifice)
Comes with no thanks in sight
(No thanks in sight)
But keep your faith in God
(Just keep your faith in God)
And He will make it right
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Have you ever gave your love to a friend that wouldn't reciprocate
Have you ever gave and gave, but all they did was take
Have you ever realized that nothing is what it's supposed to be
Have you ever felt so empty inside emotionally
Now if you ever wanna wise up there is one thing you should know
Don't you ever
People are the same wherever you may go
Keep it clever
Guard your peace for the rest of your natural days
But never never let no one ever steal your praise
We know that in this life
(And we know that in this life)
There will be questions "Why?"
(There will be questions)
Why must it be so hard?
(Tell me why it must be?)
Why it must be so hard?
Sometimes your sacrifices
(Sometimes your sacrifice)
Comes with no thanks in sight
(Oh there's no thanks no Lord)
But keep your faith in God
(Keep your faith in God)
And He will make it right
(Oh oh oh oh)
(Keep your faith in God)
(Oh yeah)
(Keep your faith in God)
(All yeah)
(It gonna be alright)
(All yes it will)
(It's gonna be alright)
(Hey)
(But you gotta)
(Keep your faith in God)
Nephew, new rain give us eight
(Keep your faith in God)
Yeah at this point I'm really done
I ain't got much to prove
I done gave it all out already I ain't got much to lose
But that's over now Mama ain't raised a fool
My peace or Your acceptance I think it's time to choose
Sick of hurt and pain I sustained in my last chapter
But it ain't no loss
It's just lessons and I ain't going backwards
I was raised on the O'Jays man y'all some back-stabbers
It's funny when I turn to y'all y'all just turned Casper
Just keep your faith in God
Just keep your faith in God
He will make it right
He will make it right
Do do do do do
(Keep your faith in God)
Do do do do do
(Just keep your faith in God)
(He will make it right)
He will make it right
He will make it right
Is the penitentiary of other people's opinion
You know what I mean
(Well well well well)
Feel me doe
Folk a come in and out yo life like a bull in a china shop
