Rehab This I Know Lyrics

Dagnabbit I got the same bad habits my dad had as a
lad
I get mad at myself sittin in the back of a cab
feelin wack as a whip on the back of a slave on a ship
back in the days at times waking up is slap in the
face
but the passion of One whose flesh was torn away
by the cat of 9 tails and pierced by one spear and 3
nails
has saved my soul but there's still times I get
weak and there's still times I get beat
and sometimes
I write rhymes way to ill to repeat and I don't want
to be another hypocrite on a beat
but sometimes when
the sun shines I wish I could sleep it away but today
I woke up with some strength counted a couple of
blessings and stepped out in the street
and the sweet
smell of victory put my mind at ease and the breeze
told the trees to whisper something to me and they
told me don't worry I told the devil u was with me.

Hook:
Jesus loves me this I know
for the bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Those who trespass against allow me to forgive I wasn't dealt
the hand they got lives they got to live
besides
they don't answer to me I'm not You and we've all made
mistakes and known not what to do
it's true see if I
hurt you that hurts me I'm not entitled to the Lord's
tender mercy
untill I drop down on my knees and say
please put me into Your solution and free me of this
disease
I won't make it one more step unless You take
this load I tote with my soul I'll just break and
won't wait one second longer than I must or bond with
anyone stronger than this trust so
the only thing to
do is lean on You and not be led astray by what the
demon do.

[Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, the power, the glory, for ever.]

Hook:
Jesus loves me this I know
for the bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Don't try to be the best man be the best u can
cause number one ain't nothing but the opinion of man and
man loves death, hate, crime, and pain
his kids are
into theft, long lines of 'cane
insanity profanity
ecstasy and blasphemy but as for me I'm just tryin to
maintain and it's a d___ shame our brains have been
trained to be crazy and lazy scared to make change in
these hard times I try to be a role model but I ain't
gonna lie y'all I still battle the bottle and that's my
biggest struggle
I ain't the one to follow sometimes
I get the urge to leave a 12 pack hollow
just writing
some inner-sentiments ain't none of us innocent from
mansions to tenements whether male or feminine all of
us are guilty of showing a little ignorance being
resentful, envious, and belligerent
one day maybe we
can figure it out but 'till then I guess I'll just pull
this cigarette out pull up a chair and open a brew,
sit down on the porch and do what I do

Hook:
Jesus loves me this I know
for the bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
They are weak but He is strong
