It Coulda Been Worse Lyrics - I Still Believe - Lyfe Jennings

(Lyfe Jennings talking): 

Yeah 

We always complainin about how bad stuff is for us 

complainin bout a light dim 

hell there's people that dont even got lights 

you know so I wanna tell everybody listenin man 

embrace your struggle cause no matter what man, 

it coulda been worse. true story c'mon 

(Verse 1) 

I was going through some changes in my life 

cussin and complainin every night 

tellin God the way he treatin me aint right 

and how i dont deserve this 

then a voice somewhere came to me 

and said you have the audacity 

to fix your mouth to disrespect 

how soon we forget 

and he said remember 

when you were sick and you got better 

remember, i put your family back together 

remember, i coulda cut you off forever so 

no matter how bad you think it hurts 

(Chorus) 

it coulda been worse, 

you coulda been dead 

you coulda been paralyzed 

confiined to a bed 

you coulda lost everything 

shoulda lost everything 

but somebodys watching you 

and gave you another chance 

yeah 

(Verse 2) 

Its so funny how we think we got it rough 

when there are babies who got mommas hooked on drugs 

and this depression got folks losing they homes 

they spent they whole life saving for 

its better in comparison 

tell me you'll switch places with them 

you only go to God to complain 

but if you ever went to Him to just say thanks 

don't you remember he didn't let that disease take you 

remember he didn't even get a thank you 

remember how could he love you just to hate you 

so no matter how bad you think it hurts
