π Lyrics
I know that my Savior lives
And at the end He will stand on this Earth
My flesh may be destroyed
But from this body, I will see God
Yes, I will see Him for myself
And I long for that moment
Grandma, I really miss you and it ain't been the same
I drop a tear when I hear your name
Mary Ella Holloway, why you gotta be so far away?
You used to say "Don't worry, it's gon' be okay"
But it ain't, it's like, when you left, you took the Lord with you
Why could not I come when He came to get you?
Damn, I really miss you, I had to say it again
I remember the time when I was like, ten
Crept up in the neighbor's yard, yeah, bein' hard-headed
You told me I would get it, you said it
Boy, did I get it, but after you spanked me, you hugged me
Kissed me on my forehead and told me that you loved me
And I saw that it hurt you more than it hurt me
I thought, how bad could this hurt be?
I know now, that's why it's only done out of love
What I wouldn't give for one more hug from grandma
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
But I'm about to say a couple of family members gon' hate me
But I'ma let you know what's been goin' on lately
Now you know since you left a lot of things with your kids done changed
Yeah, Jackie's still crazy, don't know what's up with James
Ain't seen Jerry in a while, you know he walk like you
And RenΓ©e's back in jail, you know she talk like you
Riculah's doin' real good now, she workin'
Rhonda's still runnin' around, trickin', jerkin'
Buckeye's buggin', he done lost his mind
And Jarvis, back outta jail, doin' fine
Kylie, he done changed it ain't all about his self
As for my father, well, that's somethin' else
Butt that's my dog, he hold his grandmother down
My great-grandmother, makin' a lot of trips outta town
But that's a good thing, and if only I could hear you say once more
Oh, Lord, the comfort it would bring
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
You left behind a mother, 11 kids, 11 grand kids
And since then, two of your grand kids done had kids
I had a boy named Tacoma, Xavier's brother
That's right, Xavier's made you a great-grandmother
I thank you for the best times of my life
I thank you for when you first met her acceptin' and lovin' my wife
I thank you for those Sunday dinners, they were vital
I thank you for my life, I thank you for the Bible
I thank you for the songs that you'd sing in the morning
"Amazing Grace" while I'm yawning
I thank you for the two beatings you gave me
'Cause I know somewhere along the line the lesson I learned from the two beatings saved me
And when you died I cried like a baby, I begged the Lord to take me
'Cause no one else could give me what you gave me
But life, like everything, comes to an end
I pray I go to Heaven to see you again, Amen
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
Baby, it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby, it's gon' be okay now (I really miss hearin')
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see, yeah
And at the end He will stand on this Earth
My flesh may be destroyed
But from this body, I will see God
Yes, I will see Him for myself
And I long for that moment
