paroles de chanson It Coulda Been Worse - Lyfe Jennings

Yeah, you always complainin' about how bad stuff is, folks
Complainin' about a light bill
Hell, there's people that don't even got lights, you know
So I wanna tell everybody listenin', man
Embrace your struggle, 'cause no matter what, man
True story, it coulda been worse
Come on

I was going through some changes in my life
Cursin' and complainin' every night
Telling God the way He's treatin' me ain't right
And how I don't deserve this

Then a voice from somewhere came to me
And said you got the audacity
To fake some of that disrespect
(How soon we forget)

And He said, "Remember
When you were sick and you got better
Remember, I put your family back together
Remember, I coulda cut you off forever
So no matter how bad you think it hurts"

It coulda been worse
(Coulda been worse)
You coulda been dead
(You coulda been dead)

You coulda been paralyzed
(You coulda been paralyzed)
Confined to a bed
(Confined to a bed)

You coulda lost everything
(You coulda lost everything)
Should've lost everything
(Should've lost everything)

But somebody's watching you
(But somebody's watching you)
And gave you another chance
(And gave you another chance)

It's so funny how we think we got it rough
When there are babies who got mammas hooked on drugs
And this depression got some folk losin' their homes
They spent their whole lives saving for

It's petty in comparison
And tell me you would switch places with them
(You runnin' over to God to complain)
But have you ever went to him to just say "Thanks"?

And don't you remember
He didn't let the disease take you
Remember, He didn't even get a "Thank you"
Remember, how could He love you just to hate you
So no matter how bad you think it hurts

It coulda been worse
(Coulda been worse)
You coulda been dead
(You coulda been dead)

You coulda been paralyzed
(You coulda been paralyzed)
Confined to a bed
(Confined to a bed)

You coulda lost everything
(You coulda lost everything)
Should've lost everything
(Should've lost everything)

But somebody's watching you
(But somebody's watching you)
And gave you another chance
(And gave you another chance)

It coulda been worse
(Coulda been worse)
You coulda been dead
(You coulda been dead)

You coulda been paralyzed
(You coulda been paralyzed)
Confined to a bed
(Confined to a bed)

You coulda lost everything
(You coulda lost everything)
Should've lost everything
(Should've lost everything)

But somebody's watching you
(But somebody's watching you)
And gave you another chance
(And gave you another chance)
