My Joy

(앨범: A Change Is Gonna Come - 2005)

This song right here's ta
That, that, that, that person
I ain't gone even mention his name
That said I couldn't do nothing without him, um

Who are you to tell me
That I can't go on without
And why you telling me
I'm never gone survive
Um, but once upon a time
Yes, I believed that lie
But sorry no way no how
You can't control my mind
Cause if I thought you were
The end all and my be all
I would've never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never, never, would've grown

[Chorus 2x:]
Nawl, nawl, nawl
Ain't no way
You gone take away
My joy, my peace, my strength
Thank you for the times
Of all the pain you gave me

The hate you showed to me
Taught me how to love myself
It's funny how you tried
To break down my pride
And my spirit, y'all
It doesn't it even matter now
Cause I done moved on with my life
Cause if I thought you were
The end all and my be all
I would've never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never would've wrote this song

[Chorus 2x]

Nawl, ain't no way!
I'm telling you
Cause if I thought you
Were the end all and my be all
I would've never left you alone
And I wouldn't be on my own
And I never would've found faith
I never would've loved again
[Ad lib]
