Chapter Four - My Solid Ground
You pulled me out the waters
Right before my faith could drown
You gave me the strength to stand when there was no one
There was nobody else around
Cuz you are my solid ground
I'm Wes
And I'm blessed
Thank God for my new life
Mom taught me how to be grateful
Uncle taught me how to earn stripes
I was following the street signs
Til' my auntie taught me how to be wise
Now I turned into a better man
Now I'm throwing up the peace sign
You had your own life to live
But you still took us in
Four is a lot but you made us your kids
We don't know how to repay what you did
And you're still pushing me to be greater
I know God gives you favor
All because of your love I will keep on rising up
You pulled me out the waters
Right before my faith could drown
You gave me the strength to stand when there was no one
There was nobody else around
Cuz you are my solid ground
My twin
We came from the same womb
Two bright souls in the same room
All I ever wanted in a best friend
Plus much more, you are my motivation
Way back in the playpen
You protected me from hate then
I'll be there for you the same way
If you need me just say when
Grandma loved me since I was a juvi
Taught me how to love
Really taught me how to do things
Now I'm out here gettin' - gettin' my own green
Paper chasin' young'n now I'm doin' my own thing
In a world full of lies
You taught me to survive
You taught me how to stand up
Cuz of you every day I try
You pulled me out the waters
Right before my faith could drown
You gave me the strength to stand when there was no one
There was nobody else around yeah
Cuz you are my solid ground
I love you
I love you
You're the one who saves me from this hurt
That's why I trust you
I love you
I love you
Please don't ever let me drown no no
I won't yo
Imagine how it feels when ya home ain't safe
I endure pain every day - who relates?
If I could start again I don't know what I would change
All I know is that we're here right now
Is it fate?
Listen when the money runs dry
And the bills get high and ya self-esteem breaks
Brittle as your faith may be - keep reachin'
Cuz one hand - that's all it takes
Ayy
You gotta understand
Some people are struggling to keep their head above water
And some of us are lookin' for the sun but the raindrops flood up our eyes
Everybody needs somebody
Cuz everybody is somebody
So won't ya be somebody
Reach out and touch someone's life
One hand - that's all it takes!
One hand - that's all it takes!
One hand - that's all it takes!
One hand - that's all it takes!
One hand - that's all it takes!
One hand - that's all it takes!
