2Ru3 - Been There 4 Me lyrics

[Intro] Ay....Lord...Lord..... Through up and downs.... Tribulations and trials.... You been there for me.... You been there for me..... [Chorus x 2] Through my ups and downs, tribulations and trials When so called friends was nowhere to be found You been there for me...Lord....You been there for me... [Verse] As I reminisce on past times down and feeling lonely After being done wrong by those I thought I could call my homies When shawtys' love flipped and was proven deep infatuation But like Pimp Squad i still loved her though she seemed to hate me Same one's I uplifted to keep fighting through their times of pain Left me in the dust with no protection in the hurricane Plenty days I felt that rain symbolized my tears Who knew real n***as would be crucified by their peers I've made mistakes like any man, but I kept my soul and character And never switched on real friends for a false sense of acceptance Never thought one minute I'd be stuck and left in this position What was a perfect painting has now become a tainted picture Living my life solo, for love I'm no longer seeking Focused on making music the real can feel and believe in Through ups and downs you remained when all others left me Lord I thank you, for your blessings [Chorus x 2] [Verse] Remember the times inside I felt that I wanted to die Cause it seemed for me there was only negativity in life Daily seeking for what's my purpose and reason for living Only finding vanity and insanity, lacking enrichment If one deep how I gots to ride then I'ma roll n***a Gave love before and got done wrong, made a cold spirit Emotionally frozen from being scorned in the war Catatonic state of mind resulting from a broken heart Was I cursed to suffer hurt though I speak truth and not glibbery Cause I speak from my heart instead of cliches and fake imagery Betrayed by those I only sought to encourage and love Got me thinking Lord, tell me, what have I done Presented myself as kind, friendly, loving, and true And in return got betrayed, battered, spit on and used These are the truths of a n***a feeling lost and encaged Who any minute could've hit that k** switch and then dissipate [Chorus x 2] [Verse] As times it seems I'm lost without a penny of direction Asking questions bout why it seems down a hellish path I'm heading Seeking refuge in a world full of traps and snares Where many talk bout showing love yet so few seem to care In living hell or some type prison it feels I've been placed in Finding no trace of hope or guided path to help escape it So many tears shed from a spirit turned brittle and hopeless Empty shell feeling like a ghost for which none care or notice Have I been left alone to struggle and left out to dry With fruitless visions, a broken heart, and a scattered mind Many nights this life do truly seem to fiend to take my vision While alone and trying to hold on by the skin of my spirit Maybe I'm tormented by demons deep in my inner most parts Living outcasted from all lavishness of joy in the heart Even though I feel like Jesus screaming "God, why forsake me?" Somehow I still feel that He'll save me on the daily [Chorus x 2 - Outro] Ay..... Lord... Thank you..... For keeping me.... And protecting me..... And being there.....for me.....
