God Is My Rock Lyrics - Singles - Gemstones

What is joy without pain 

If its nothing left what is there to gain 

Whoever said sunshine brings happiness 

has never danced in the rain 

I've worked for everything that I've obtained 

Looking at the clouds from the window of my plane 

All I could do is smile mama look how far I've came 

Proud Crazy cause it started as a dream 

Wow Shows that everything is everything 

I Remember days of Thinkin things would never change 

Taron And Tasha Talking about my shoes because the name 

Crying Walkin out the door to school cause I'm ashamed 

If only someone hada told me time will bring a change 

To always cease the moment because nothing stays the same 

That I would some day wish that I could do it all again 

There will be a time I found it cool to not complain 

I Learned from the wise to never shoot before I aim 

Game Judge trees by the fruit that hang 

Bang Blood bleeding from a wounded brain 

Another public school student dead at 17 

Dang The younger generation won't sustain 

Everybody Blinded by the diamonds and the chains 

My homie say we Violent cause the climate Ain't the same 

Why is everybody so afraid to find a lane 

Why you so concerned who define you as a lame 

It's hard to not be carnal when the mind is in them chains 

I guess that's just the science to the game 

I work for every single fan I got 

the crew I thought was rooting for me left me out to rot 

I know Alotta cats was hoping I would be forgot 

Dropped ? I walked away so god could be my rock 

Cousin Onna phone screaming drizzy gotcha spot 

I guess the road to glory want enough to shut his chops 

Went Ova many heads it wasn't that it wasn't hot 

And then I dropped an elephant now everybody shocked 

Success is not defined by what you got 

But by the things you overcome when you been through a lot 

Don't mean that you successful jus because you at the top 

You possibly been stepping Onna mini toe but when you drop 

You gone wish that they would reach they hands to catch you but they not 

This life has been a blessing even if I never popped 

Who knew the kid that grew up in the ghetto with no plot 

Would someday be Makin cheddar off the letter that he jot 

And still gone put my mama Inna spot 

Gone make it out the ghetto whether you believe or not 

Gone give my all forever I was taught to never stop 

Until I'm settled and they puttin rose pedals on my box 

The pedal never stops 

The kettle or the pot 

Was taught to never settle 

It's better with no Geppetto on the top 

Freedom to do whatever whenever I can't be boxed you 

Get no respect in this industry when you not they 

Slinging Salami care less if you eat or not where they 

Kick in the door break the hinges or pick the locks just 

Make sure that it's done in the memory of PAC 

Time is ticking minutes running out jus like my pops 

Father thank god the inning was man enough to adopt 

Though everything was a limit he never left me to rot 

17 I remember Tellin Nem we could box 

Rebellious in front of dell and relatives that would watch 

And get to see all the helling and yelling for me to stop 

I'm probably the blame for every gray hair my mama got 

Would go back and forth with a woman but couldn't pick up a mop 

Nobody could tell me nothing my ego was through the top 

My virginity had been broken all of the women was on my Joc 

Depressed because I was broke I needed to make some gwop 

I Went out and bought me some dope but I never could sale a rock 

My cousins was Onna oath and he would get Em off on the block 

And when he did he spent all the cash and Neva gave me my chop 

I don't mean to bring up the past but that's one I never forgot 

We look back on it now and laugh but when it happened it had me hot 

Because I was so full of wrath I'm surprised I never was shot 

I then done some things in my past that would have a priest Lookin shocked 

But I've over come all the bad now I'm on my way to the top 

Because god is my rod and staff and forever gone be my rock
