(ooh, yeah) {intimate
electric piano, warm rhodes
chords, slow 4/4 r&b beat,
soft snaps}
I been struggling my whole life
Taking it day by day
My parents raised a hustler So imma always make a way
Times got harder
So I turned to god And
I learned how to pray
{gentle fingerpicked acoustic
guitar joins the warm rhodes} I had to talk to god
Every-time he made a way Now I’m feeling blessed
I got god to help me through
Only god knows the truth
I been heartbroken and abused
{tempo slow and heavy,
deep sub-bass slide, emotional
vocal run}
I been struggling my whole life
Taking it day by day
My parents raised a hustler So imma always make a way
Times got harder
So I turned to god And
I learned how to pray
I had to talk to god
Every-time he made a way
Now I’m feeling blessed
I got god to help me through
Only god knows the truth
(only god knows, yeah) {full r&b groove,
rich electric piano, soaring falsetto backing vocals} Every step he been by
my side
He stood by me through long sunny days and stormy nights
Help me win every battle wit the devil Because imma god fearing
man
With the power to pray (power to pray) {expressive vocal runs,
dramatic drum drop-out, solo rhodes keyboard}
Only god knows
Only god knows What he
has
done for me
(done for me, oh yeah,
mmm)
{fade out with warm electric piano and soft snaps}
