[Verse i]

Ooh, superstar

Never drove around in a fancy car

Kids looked at me funny, momma she had no money but she always told me,

"Baby, know who yo are"

I say ooh, don't know

It was hard always wearing my cousin clothes

Can you hand me down a dream with those hand-me-down jeans?

Thought I'd never make it, but I made it y'all, 'cause I had...

[Chorus]

Jesus

When I had nothing, had to struggle, and was up to no good

Jesus

The reason I am still breathing is 'cause

Jesus [3x]

It's crazy how you love me even when I don't you like I should

Jesus [3x]

[Verse ii]

Ooh, look at me

I know I'm not all I'm supposed to be, I'm gonna get it right,

Didn't get here overnight, so while you're waiting please wait patiently

I say ooh, it's so sweet to know you were always in love with me

Though my game was clever, but no one can play me better than yoiu

You know you always win cause you're

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Ooh

When I think about your name I go

Ooh

How you took away my pain I go ooh

Every night at the club

Ain't no wife at the club

That jesus he be showing me love

They said I wasn't gon' make it kirk

I know how taht sound

It's only by his grace I can say 'look at me now'

If you love this joint right here

I want you to call your radio station in the moring

And I want you to tell 'em

Hey mr. dj

Can you play my favorite song? (will you play my favorite song?)

I heard it say it's gonna get better

We gon' make out the hood someday

Hey mr. dj

I wanna hear that song about jesus

I heard my moma crying, I gotta let her know he's gonna wipe her tears away

You are listening to sound of a brotha who should be dead right now

But I'm so glad god didn't give up on me!

Ain't you glad he didn't give up on you?

What's his name?

[Chorus]

Hey mr. dj, jesus [4x]
