Lyfe Jennings – 26 Years, 17 Days lyrics

Lyfe: No my brother
Not today I'm on my way somewhere
Huh? Let me tell you a little story about what happened to me
not that long ago
Check this out

verse 1
See I was looking for God at my grandmamas house underneath the
cushions on the couch I looked all around side to side up and down
that man was no where to be found so I called my grandmama on the
phone said old lady you best get home cause God ain't where you said
he would be and there's something I really need to speak with him
about immediately she said boy tell granny what's wrong is there
something I can do I said big mama now it's a sensitive issue and
Lord knows I don't wanna worry you but I need somebody to talk to.

Chorus
It done been 26 years, 17 days been to 5 different prisons got 2
babies on the way and they say it'll be a waste of time to pray
seeing that i'm going to hell anyway
(Repeat 1x)

Verse 2
See I done smoked weed with the best of ya'll shot at all the rest of
ya'llmy heart hurt like an old man with high cholestrol preacher say
that i'm the dirtiest dude he ever saw shouldn't be living and he a
christian shoudl've been dead like 17 times for 17 crimes I committed
took'em all to trial and got acquitted left waving my middle finger in
the airwhispered in the prosecutors ear (yeah I did it)
I done stole everything from dreams to wedding rings auctioned off my
soul for material things but lately it's been kind of bothering me I
guess that the turtle always catches up with the rabbit eventually.

Chorus(repeat 1x)
Bridge
Somebody loves you baby whoo whoo whoo
somebody loves you baby (repeat until song fades)
