Best Friend
P.Diddy ft. Mario Winans Lyrics

Since the beginning of time
I acknowledge that you have been present since the beginning of time.

All you did was bless me
You have consistently bestowed blessings upon me.

Too young to understand but now you my best friend
Even though I was too young to comprehend your presence, I now consider you my closest friend.

How could they doubt you, never think about you
I am perplexed as to how people can doubt your existence and fail to think about your impact on their lives.

Don't they know nothing's possible without you
I recognize that nothing is possible in this world without your guidance and support.

Faith without fear that's how they raised me
I was raised to have faith in you without any sense of fear or doubt.

Words of man kill but never phase me
The harmful words of humans do not affect me because of the strength I gain from your teachings.

Grateful for wisdom that you gave me
I am grateful for the wisdom that you have imparted upon me.

But still I'm like, dear God I wonder, could you save me?
Despite my faith and trust in you, I still have moments of doubt and wonder if you will save me from my struggles.

Too much sinning, gotta be more than plush living
I recognize that my material possessions and luxurious lifestyle mean nothing if I continue to sin.

Gotta be more than grabbing nines to buck tin in
There has to be more to life than engaging in violent and harmful behavior.

Gotta be more than just to lust women
My desires for women must be rooted in something deeper and more meaningful.

Gotta be more than platinum Rolexes, 600's and crushed linen
Materialistic possessions like expensive watches, cars, and clothing are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Praise your name, I know some of them hate their due
I am aware that some people hate the fact that they must praise your name and seek your guidance.

Judgment day, don't they know they can't escape your crew
On Judgment Day, people will not be able to escape your judgment and authority.

I'm just trying to live right and pray you take me through
My goal is to live a righteous life and have faith that you will guide me through my struggles.

And with this song I dedicate to you, my Lord
This song is dedicated to you as an expression of my gratitude and devotion to you.

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

Been two and a half years since my world crashed
When Biggie Smalls passed away, my world felt like it crashed around me.

I needed help, God gave me the power
During my time of need, you provided me with the strength and power to overcome my struggles.

Gave me the strength to go face to face with my darkest hour
You provided me with the strength to confront and overcome the most difficult moments in my life.

Back to the wall, is my faith gonna play out
Even when I feel like I have nowhere to turn, I have faith that you will guide me through.

Never wavered once, gave me no way out
You have never once failed me and have always provided me with a way out of my struggles.

Your time to die, don't even stress the date
I trust that you have a plan and timing for my death and do not worry about the date of my passing.

You're coming with me, your soul I'm next to take
When my time comes, I have faith that my soul will be taken by you.

I told him 'I'm too much blessed with faith'
I expressed to God that I am blessed with an unwavering faith in him.

And living for Christ' and then he said 'Manifest the great'
God responded by telling me to manifest greatness in my life through my faith in Christ.

All of a sudden, what I'm remembering
In that moment, I experienced a sudden remembrance of my relationship with God.

Ground started to shake, everything trembling
The power of God's presence caused the ground to shake and everything to tremble.

The power of the truth was shooting through my Timberlands
I felt the power of truth coursing through my very being.

Here was my Lord Jesus Christ, my best friend again, come on
I was reconnected with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, my closest and dearest friend.

Lord, you mean the world to me
God, you mean the entire world to me.

Before I was born you chose me
You chose me and had a plan for my life even before I was born.

You always hear me when I'm calling
You always listen to me when I approach you in prayer.

Even catch me when I'm falling
You provide support and catch me when I am at my lowest points.

You're the closest one to me
You are my closest and most trusted companion.

I surrender all to thee
I give my entire being and life to you.

I want the whole wide world to see that
It is important to me that the entire world recognizes and acknowledges your significance.

We've always been and we'll always be best friends
You have always been and will always be my best and closest friend.
