Flesh n Bone Montell Monifah
something for my people.
[I was on my knees last night and I said]
Now I'm gonna lay me down[down down...] to sleep
I pray to the lord and to Heaven:go bless my soul to keep
and if I should die before I wake up wake up wake up
that He
take up take up
Montell Jordan:
Oh,you never heard these words before[no]
And I know you've never seen this side of me,I'm quite sure
But livin my life with you here is givin me tears of joy
And I never want to leave you baby
So if by chance I go
I want you to know
If I die tonight,it would be alright
Cause I finally found what most I've been searching for my whole damn
life
If I die tonight,it would be OK
Cause being with you is like being in Heaven anyway
Monifah
Ooh,I never thought I'd feel this way for you
And I never thought I'd meet a man that made me want to say "I do"
You changed my whole life forever and ever,oh yeah
So if God should call,here's what you do:
know he's got my soul in Heaven,but my heart's with you
If I die tonight,it would be alright
Cause I finally found what most I've been searching for my whole damn
life
If I die tonight,it would be OK
Cause being with you is like being in Heaven anyway
Now,I'm gonna lay me down[down,down...] to sleep
I pray to the lord and to Heaven:go bless my soul to keep
and if I should die before I wake up,wake up,wake up
hope that He saved a place in Heaven so I pray everyday for the soul
that He
take up,take up
Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the lord my soul to keep
and if I should die before I wake,I pray the lord my soul to take
If I die tonight,it would be alright
Cause I finally found what most I've been searching for my whole damn
life
If I die tonight,it would be OK
Cause being with you is like being in Heaven anyway

This is freakin' amazing! He needs to do a re-release of his Moments Album. It's so perfect, so underground.
@danielevans3711
Right?! I just found this album haha. I know so many eminem comparisons, but I couldn't help but say in these old songs that they sound so alike!
@agiles777
Chris Ro yes he does
@djcrobo2877
Legit!
@djcrobo2877
Yo! NF def needs to release these older albums! They are fire! And it'll shut up all the critics that say he only raps about himself! He always had God in his songs. Back then, he gave God his First Fruits. Now he is continuing to use the gifts God gave him, but also show the world that he has leveled up so much more as a rapper and has grown much better then where he started off. He has found his one style and honed it! He started off sounding a lot like Eminem, but now he's got his own style! Get these Re-released NF!
@heathermariemccullough7064
Yes!!
@samgugloo8226
He is not revealing that he is a Christian, he is afraid, he is denying as Peter did, his songs WAS fire, and the sad thing is now he really raps for himself, not for the Lord, he needs to grow in the Lord more.
@LECityLECLEC
@Sam Gugloo Wait these songs aren't released? THEY ARE SO GOOD!
@julianclement7822
@Sam Gugloo "next year I might do something like talking to God more" he says this in change. I think he may have been trying to get people's attention and next album he may hopefully rap more in his name
@juliangordy9400
@Sam Gugloo really , listen to the words and put your mind into the words and know he is a good God fearing man that is using his talent to reach out and catch the blind , hurt and lost and use his talent to honor God and help the fans catch the love an all
