Rescue Me

You can say goodnight to the bad guy
Cause you will never, ever meet another
Bad guy like this one (You sure won't)
You need people like me
To point your fingers at
Say look (12)
Look at him right there
He's the bad guy
Well say goodnight to the bad guy
Cause you'll never meet another bad guy like this one (You sure won't)

If pain is love I had my share
Through these years of shedding tears
Whoever said men don't cry, told a lie
Life no joke and my eyes ain't dry
Lost some family who lost their lives
Some cut short, others just in time
To save a seat when it's mine
Words from the heart not just a rhyme
I ain't in a rush so I'mma take my time
This little light I'mma let it shine
All the wrong we've done, I'm leaving in the past
I'm washing my hands
Looking in the mirror
Focused on the day but I'm living for tomorrow
10-11 Hours, the birth of my daughter
The death of her boy who birthed his father
Thinking about the chances I take and the choices I make
It's no longer about me, it's all about her
Time to change my ways, set an example
As head of the household
Gotta walk and talk as a man does
Making it through hard times with a plan to
Provide, whatever you need I got you
Do your best cause daddy's watching

Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me

I've been lied to, lied on
Stabbed in the back, spit at
Knocked down, got up
And no one's gon' find how to scrape a scratch
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words alone never hurt me
Only fuel my purpose
Done been at the bottom now I'm headed to the top
Got my mind made up not to let anybody stop me
Or stand in my way of success
Woke up this morning so I know that I'm blessed
All that hating you doing, you know you a mess
Worrying about me shows that you're stressed
Patience a virtue I know it's a test
So even though you don't I still love you to death
You can look in my eyes and see that I mean it
I broke down loving and uncovered the meaning
United we stand, divided we fall
Us together amongst it all
Weather that ups or weather that downs
No matter the ins no matter the outs
Gotta take the good with the bad, bad with the good
Have faith and trust in the Lord that
His love gon' help us through this

Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me

We are the world and the future's in us
If you believe we can achieve
Cause a wasted mind is a terrible thing
If you know better, you should do better
I ain't a follower I'm a trend setter
The Mack not just no pimp playa
I say that to say that it's nobody's perfect
It's how we learn to forgive and forget
Do unto others as you want done to you
Cause it takes respect to be respected
Everything's earned, nothing's given
So don't take nothing in life for granted
Could be here for a minute, gone in a second
Heaven or hell, which place would you end up?
Unlike them all, death is promised
That's spoken knowledge
And I'm just being open and honest
Eternity timeless, everlasting
So am I for God's mercy saved us
Grace amazing and threw him his key to the door of change
And today I stand as a changed man
Ask the Lord to save me
On my knees praying
Thank you Jesus amen

Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me
Your love came and rescued me
