Verse ONE
Guy Leader
Now it started the day I was born,
The doctor loosed me from the umbilical cord,
Doctor spanked there was no breath,
Wind came threw and he brought me health,
Drugs and violence kept me still, Accident, Sickness kept me healed,
There's one thing I know is true,
Born blessed from the womb to the tomb!

Now it started the day I was born,
The devil came in like a terrible storm Had seizures three times a day, Confused didn't know what to say, Sickness worsened doctors did all, Momma closed the door turned her face to the wall,
Lord I surrender! Have your way!
He healed my body, now I'm singing today!

Verse THREE
Guy Leader:
On an evening, a regular day,
Going to get a haircut, just got paid,
Had a concert, so I'm on the run,
Gonna' get a hair cut, me and my son, Thugs came in, to rob the place, Breaking through the door, while covering their face,
Pulled the gun! There was no click!
Guy & Girl Leaders: BACKED DOWN THE DOOR WHILE RUNNING THROUGH THE STICKS!
