Best Friend
Diddy (feat. Mario Winans) Lyrics

Since the beginning of time
You have been a blessing to me since the beginning of my life, and even before that.

All you did was bless me
You have always provided me with your blessings and guidance.

Too young to understand but now you my best friend
I may not have understood at a young age, but now I consider you to be my closest and most trusted friend.

How could they doubt you, never think about you
I find it hard to believe that there are those who doubt your power and don't even think of you at all.

Don't they know nothing's possible without you
Without your guidance and blessings, nothing is possible in this world.

Faith without fear that's how they raised me
I was raised to have faith without fear and to trust in you no matter what.

Words of man kill but never phase me
I am not swayed by the words of other people, as I know your words hold the true power.

Grateful for wisdom that you gave me
I am thankful for the wisdom and insight that you have bestowed upon me.

But still I'm like, dear God I wonder, could you save me?
Despite all of this, I still wonder if you can ultimately save me from my sins and struggles.

Too much sinning, gotta be more than plush living
I acknowledge that I have sinned and that there must be more to life than just material possessions and luxury living.

Gotta be more than grabbing nines to buck tin in
There must be more to life than resorting to violence to solve problems.

Gotta be more than just to lust women
There must be more to life than just seeking physical pleasure and objectifying women.

Gotta be more than platinum Rolexes, 600's and crushed linen
There must be more to life than just chasing after expensive clothes, cars, and jewelry.

Praise your name, I know some of them hate their due
I will continue to praise your name, even though there are those who hate and persecute believers like me.

Judgment day, don't they know they can't escape your crew
On judgment day, those who have turned their backs on you will come to realize that they cannot escape your divine judgement.

I'm just trying to live right and pray you take me through
All I can do is try my best to live righteously and pray that you guide me through life's challenges.

And with this song I dedicate to you, my Lord
With this song, I dedicate my love and devotion to you, my Lord.

Been two and a half years since my man Big passed
It has been two and a half years since my friend Big passed away.

Been two and a half years since my world crashed
Big's passing was so devastating that it felt like my world had come crashing down.

I needed help, God gave me the power
When I was at my lowest, you gave me the strength and power to keep going.

Gave me the strength to go face to face with my darkest hour
You gave me the strength to confront my darkest moments and come out stronger on the other side.

Your hindsight, the time's right to get my mind tight
Looking back with your hindsight, I know that now is the right time to focus and get my mind right.

Then give it to you and let it shine bright
I will give my purified mind and soul to you and let my light shine bright for all to see.

My best friend, only know how to teach the truth
You, my best friend, are the only one who knows how to teach and guide me towards truth and righteousness.

Plant the seeds of life and let them eat the fruit
You have planted the seeds of life within me and allowed me to reap the rewards of my faith and devotion.

Can't you see that He spread love for you
Can't you see that God has spread his love and blessings all around you?

Shed blood for you, cry for and die for you
God shed his blood, cried, and died for you, so that you may have eternal life and blessings.

Willies with mac millies know how you get down
Even the most hardened criminals and thugs know how powerful and righteous you are.

We know the drama you bring whenever you hit town
We know that wherever you go, there will be drama and conflict, as people struggle to come to terms with your power.

Just remember when you pray, God is love
When you pray and seek guidance, remember that God is love and mercy personified.

Gracious, merciful, forgive even the hardest thugs
God is gracious and merciful, even to those who have committed the most heinous crimes and sins.

Life as we know it, it all begins with Him
All of life, as we know it, begins and ends with God.

Life as we know it, it all ends with Him
Everything that we experience in life, both good and bad, will ultimately come to an end and return to God.

If I was you I would never try to pretend with Him
If I were you, I wouldn't try to deceive or pretend to be something I'm not when facing God.

He might spaz and blow it, I'm best friends with him
God may appear fearsome or unpredictable, but I am still loyal and devoted to him as my best friend.

Lord, you mean the world to me
God, you are everything to me and hold a special place in my heart.

Before I was born you chose me
You had a plan for my life even before I was born, and I am grateful to be a part of that plan.

You always hear me when I'm calling
I know that you are always listening when I call out to you in prayer and need.

Even catch me when I'm falling
You are always there to catch me when I fall or stumble in life.

You're the closest one to me
Out of everyone in this world, you are the closest and most trusted friend to me.

I surrender all to thee
I give up all worldly possessions and desires and surrender myself completely to you.

I want the whole wide world to see that
It is my desire for everyone in the world to know and see the power and love of God through my life and actions.

We've always been and we'll always be best friends
You and I have always had a special bond, and that bond will never be broken or diminished.
