Babe, when i was down, you Were my one and only
Through the rainy days, you Held me up my lady
Girl, I see you
Babe, when I was down, you Were my one and only
Gotta keep you close
Girl, I need you
If you didn't know
Girl, I love you

Everytime I Look up
After I close the good book up.
It seems God's over stove on the Cook up.
Like He chefin' up a fresh plate Of blessings
That aroma refreshing He’s the Best man
Just knowing a situation going Be handled
Take those worries off your Shoulder
Throw em on the mantle
Take those burdens all off of Your back side
Give them all to Him act like You got some act right
Of course he's never ever gonna Slack right
Your time is never his time
For we walk by faith, not by Sight
So stop trying walk in the dark
Without your light
Be still, and know that He's your God
I'm due time those things won't Seem like problems
So pray to God about everything
And guess He made you my Everything
Babe, when i was down, you Were my one and only
Through the rainy days, you Held me up my lady
Girl, I see you
Babe, when I was down, you Were my one and only
Gotta keep you close
Girl, I need you
If you didn't know
Girl, I love you
Every time I felt doubt start Creepin
I had a voice that said nah you The best and
All the times I just wanted give Up
Yea you gave me love and you Told me to hang tough
I've been blessed to have even Had found you
Your my sun, light my life up, Sky blue
Every turn I could see my Potential
Holding down my dreams, Gifted me with the pencil
(It was you) El Z, I just wanna Say thank
(It was you) for all the love and Support, God bless you
(It was you) without you, Couldn't see more clearly, hear More clearly, feel more baby
(It was you) always prayed, now I just pray harder
(It was you) looking up, set my Faith, pray longer
This goes out to my wife ZC aka Pretty hashtag teddy
Babe, when i was down, you Were my one and only
Through the rainy days, you Held me up my lady
Girl, I see you
Babe, when I was down, you Were my one and only
Gotta keep you close

If you didn't know
Girl, I love you
I'm writing you letters yeah I'm Taking it back
Cuz texting you Ain't enough and ima keep it a Stack
I sent flowers To ya job To get me back on track
But You ain't falling for that
Making the kid feel wack
I said Hurtful Things blaming the Yack
That's my downfall baby And you know that's a fact
So I Switched it up and fell back From the drinking
Gym with Bros we was planet fitness Linking
I got my weight on up From bench pressing
Coming Home to full plates yeah I Learned my lesson
Doing Everything that's right so no Stressing
Right path L I'm Done With the finessing
Cuz it's a Blessing to have my fam
Number 1 to the top you know I Go ham
You'd be like Damn
Now you's a grown as man
As I Drop to my knee and put that Ring on Ya hand
Damn
Babe, when i was down, you Were my one and only
Through the rainy days, you Held me up my lady
Girl, I see you
Babe, when I was down, you Were my one and only
Gotta keep you close
Girl, I need you

If you didn't know
Girl, I love you
