"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 You're sacrifice
(Your sacrifice)
Comes with no thanks insight
(No thanks insight)
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
You gave and You 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
(Ooo ooo ooo)
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
(Hey ee ee hey ee)
Sometimes You're sacrifices
(Sometimes You're sacrifice)
Comes with no thanks insight
(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 all right)
(All yes it will)
(It's gonna be all right)
(Aww aww aww)
(Hey)
(But You gotta)
(Keep Your faith in God)
(Aww aww aww aww)
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
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)
He will make it right
Oh oh oh oh
Faith in God
Keep Your faith in him
(Keep Your)
Keep Your faith in God
(Your faith)
(He will)
He will make it right
(I know he will)
He will make it right
Oh oh oh
