I know that my savior lives
And at the end, he will stand on this earth
My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I
will see god
Yes, I will see him for myself - and I long for
that moment
Grandma, I really miss you and it ain’t been the
same
I drop a tear when i, hear yo’ name
Mariella holloway, why you gotta be so far away?
Used to say, "don’t worry, it’s gon’ be
okay"
But it ain’t - it’s like when you left, you took
the lord witchu
Why couldn’t I come when he came to get you?
Damn I really miss you - I had to say it again
I remember the time when I was like ten
Crept up in the neighbor’s yard, yeah, bein hard
headed
You told me I would get it - you said it!
And boy did I get it, but after you spanked me,
you hugged me
Kissed me on my forehead, told me that you love
me
And I saw, that it hurt you, more than it hurt
me
I thought - how bad could this hurt be? I know
now
That’s why it’s only done out of love
What I wouldn’t give for one mo’ hug, from
grandma
[chorus: faith evans]
Baby it’s gon’ be okay (she used to tell me
that)
Baby it’s gon’ be okay (I really miss hearin)
Baby it’s gon’ be okay (she used to tell me
that)
Baby it’s gon’ be okay (I really miss hearin)

What I’m about to say a couple of family members
is gon’ hate me
But i’ma let you know what’s been goin on lately
Now you know since you left, a lot of things
witcho kids done changed
Yeah jackie’s still crazy, don’t know what’s up
with james
Ain’t seen jerry in a while, you know he walk
like you
And renee’s back in jail, you know she talk like
you
Riculah’s(? ) doin real good now, she workin
Rhonda’s still runnin around, trickin, jerkin
Buckeye’s buggin, he done lost his mind
And jarvis? back out of jail, doin fine
Kylie? he done changed, it ain’t all about self
As for my father.. well, that’s somethin else
But that’s my dog, he hold his grandmother down
My great grandmother, makin a lot of trips out of
town
But that’s a good thing, and if I could only hear
you sing
Once more, oh lord, the comfort it would bring
[chorus]
[dmx]
You left behind a mother (and) eleven kids (and)
eleven grandkids
And since then, two of yo’ grandkids done had
kids
They had a boy named tacoma, xavier’s brother,
that’s right
Xavier’s means you a great grandmother
I thank you for the best times of my life
I thank you for when you first met her, accepted
and lovin my wife
I thank you for those sunday dinners, they were
vital
I thank you for my - life, I thank you for the
bible
I thank you for the songs that you sing in the
mornin
(amazing grace..) while I’m yawnin
I thank you for the two beatings you gave me
Cause I know somewhere along the line
The lesson I learned from the two beatings saved
me
And when you died I cried like a baby, I begged
the lord to take me
Cause no one else could give me what you gave me
But life like everything comes to an end
I pray I go to heaven to see you again - amen
[chorus] - repeat 2x
[faith evans]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see, yeahhh
