Best friends
Diddy; Mario Winans Lyrics

I've seen a lot of things in my life
I've experienced a lot of events in my life

A lot of ups and downs
Both the good and bad times in my life

Made a lot of mistakes
I've made quite a few errors in my life

No matter what, you've always been by my side
You've never left me, even in my worst times

You've always been my best friend
You've been my closest friend for as long as I can remember

You're the love of my life
You're the person I love more than anyone else in the world

You're everything to me
You mean everything to me

You never left my side
You've always been there for me

You're my best friend
You're my closest friend

I love you so much
I have an enormous amount of love for you

Yes, you are
You are indeed my best friend

Since the beginning of time
From the very start of my life

All you did was bless men
You have only brought blessings to people

Too young to understand but now you my best friend
I was too young to understand before, but now you are my closest friend

How could they doubt you, never think about you
I can't fathom why people doubt you and don't think of you

Don't they know nothing's possible without you
People don't realize that nothing can be accomplished without you

Faith without fear that's how they raised me
I was raised to have faith without fear

Words of man kill but never phase me
The words of humans may hurt, but they don't shake my faith

Grateful for wisdom that you gave me
I'm thankful for the wisdom you've given me

But still I'm like, dear God I wonder, could you save me?
Despite my faith, I still wonder if you could save me from my deepest struggles

Too much sinning, gotta be more than plush living
I've sinned too much to be satisfied with a luxurious lifestyle

Gotta be more than grabbing nines to buck tin in
There has to be more to life than carrying guns and committing crimes

Gotta be more than just to lust women
There has to be more to women than just sexual attraction

Gotta be more than platinum Rolexes, 600's and crushed linen
Life can't be solely about owning fancy cars and expensive clothes

Praise your name, I know some of them hate their due
I'll continue to praise you, even if others hate me for it

Judgment day, don't they know they can't escape your crew
On Judgment Day, everyone will be judged by you and can't hide from you

I'm just trying to live right and pray you take me through
I'm striving to live a righteous life and hoping you'll guide me through it

And with this song I dedicate to you, my Lord
I offer this song as a dedication to you, my Lord

Lord, you mean the world to me
You mean everything to me, Lord

Before I was born you chose me
You chose me to exist even before I was born

You always hear me when I'm calling
You always hear me when I reach out to you

Even catch me when I'm falling
You rescue me when I'm in trouble

You're the closest one to me
You're the person closest to me

I surrender all to thee
I submit everything to you

I want the whole wide world to see
I want everyone in the world to know

That we've always been and we'll always be
That we've always been together and always will be

Best friends
The closest of friends

Sometimes I reminisce and wonder how I made it this far
I sometimes reflect and contemplate how I've made it this far in life

Because of you, I'm me, so you the real star
You've shaped me into who I am and deserve the credit

Your hindsight, the time's right to get my mind tight
Your insight has made me realize it's time to get my mind in order

Then give it to you and let it shine bright
I'll give my mind to you and let it shine brilliantly

My best friend, only know how to teach the truth
You, my closest friend, are the only one who knows how to teach the truth

Plant the seeds of life and let them eat the fruit
Nurture others with your wisdom and let them reap the benefits

Can't you see that He spread love for you
Can't you see that God spreads love for you

Shed blood for you, cry for and die for you
He sacrificed himself for you, mourning and dying for you

Willies with mac millies know how you get down
Criminals with machine guns know your power

We know the drama you bring whenever you hit town
We know the commotion that comes when you arrive

Just remember when you pray, God is love
Remember that God is love when you pray

Gracious, merciful, forgive even the hardest thugs
God is merciful and forgives even the most difficult criminals

Life as we know it, it all begins with Him
Our lives begin with God

Life as we know it, it all ends with Him
Our lives end with God

If I was you I would never try to pretend with Him
I advise against pretending with God, as he knows all

He might spaz and blow it, I'm best friends with him
He may get angry and forgive, but I'll always be closest to Him

Been two and a half years since my man Big passed
It's been two and a half years since my close friend Big died

Been two and a half years since my world crashed
My world ended when Big passed

I needed help, God gave me the power
I required assistance, and God gave me strength

Gave me the strength to go face to face with my darkest hour
He gave me the courage to confront my toughest moment

Looked me in the eyes and ask, "What you doing unhappy?"
He stared at me and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Don't you know why I'm here?" and started shooting at me
He replied, "Don't you remember why I'm here?" and assisted me through my struggles

Back to the wall, is my faith gonna play out
I'm cornered, and I'm not sure if my faith will persevere

Never wavered once, gave me no way out
My faith has remained consistent, and He's never abandoned me

Your time to die, don't even stress the date
Instead of worrying about the date when you'll die

You're coming with me, your soul I'm next to take
Your soul is next to be taken by me

I told him, "I'm too much blessed with faith"
I responded, "My faith has made me too blessed to fear"

"And living for Christ" and then he said, "Manifest the great"
"And living for Christ," to which he replied, "Bring greatness forth"

All of a sudden, what I'm remembering
Something suddenly occurred to me

Ground started to shake, everything trembling
The ground shook, and everything trembled

The power of the truth was shooting through my Timberlands
The power of the truth was coursing through my boots

Here was my Lord Jesus Christ, my best friend again, come on
Jesus Christ, my closest friend, was present once again

I love you Jesus
I have love for you, Jesus

Thank you, forgive me for my trespasses
Thank you, and please forgive me for my wrongdoings

As I forgive those who trespass against me
Just as I have forgiven those who wronged me

Thank you
Thank you, Lord
