Love You Like I Do featuring Gather Williams II

Hook: When I was a mess, failing every test, you reach down and pulled me through, You went to bat for me, went to the Mat for me, I am here because of you!

V1.
I remember the life – the grind – the road, the chase of the fame and cash,
A selfish soul, the pain – the shame - the fall, the pride and joy, on a quest that so sad,
Pushing hard like an athlete shuffled like a track list – here to there in a 88 cadi, sex and lies
all about the shine with no dough – just one goal – gimme mine and the rest can hope,
a good guy with big dreams – affiliated with the folks and the streets,
take care of the tasks – hit the crib - hit the trees and laugh,
next day proceed with a similar path,
Faith in my mind, hands, feet, and skills – on it not knowing – I’m was out ya will,
Abba, thanks for the mercy, cause the best and worst of me was filled, (up)
I was found and stripped, delivered - now revealed - to the world to bring a Word that heals,
you took it all just to give it all back like a father does - when his son come back for real, hey,
I owe you all (of me)- but never could pay the cost – or take your place,
you covered me just by loving me – not wanting me to be lost - I’m in awe. And.

V2.
Reminiscing on the times got me meek and somewhat like retired,
I put a lot hours in for the enemy I’m thankful to God - my time expired,
Man I Know about the drugs – Man know about the clubs – Man know about the fakeness and all the false love,
Brought up in the ghetto wanting better – go get it – I was in it and fixed like a hand in a tight glove,
Trials to the tribulations – many set- backs in bad relations, a lot of missed goals from hesitation – many of chances but no embracing, new ideas same cycles and phases,
dealing with the journey – you taught patience by calling me back to the Godly basics,
true repentance and salvation,
The rest come later – money’s in the making – your sacrifice gave me new upraising
a clear revelation and divine direction - old things passed away it’s only you I’m facing,
And I never gotta hide or be shame – your open door policy allows me free reign,
The fight is still on – but I’m blessed by your name - to me you came.

V3.
Nothing can compare to you - that’s why I rap so that they grab the truth,
My life is just a slap of proof of what HIS GRACE and LOVE a do,
Change a dirty own man to a fresh new born with wisdom of a King,
Change a orphan girl to a high school virgin – with high self esteem,
Take a boy to a man – take man – make him a dad,
Take a marriage of infidelity and reconcile it back,
Everything you do is strapped – ready to go with high impact,
I was looking for the map – you reached down and pulled me out that trap.

I was in the dark – looking for a map, no light- no match, no compass, you reached down and pulled me through everything.
