Granny's Angel

(专辑： Nicole C. Mullen - 2000)

He was standing on the corner again
While she was praying for God to forgive his sin
And out of nowhere, two inches of lead
To him it's still a mystery, how the bullet missed his head?

But granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby boy
'Cause he ain't doing the things that he's supposed to, " yeah, yeah
Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would bring me joy
To see him live to be someone who loves you"

'Cause you can't keep living on granny's Angel
See it's about time you get one of your own
I'm telling you can't keep living on granny's Angel
'Cause whatcha gonna do when granny's gone

Stuck in traffic at a quarter 'til nine
Shirley's cursing, oops that fatal wreck on my side
No compassion 'cause she don't realize
Had she been any earlier, boom it would have been her life

But this is what happened
But Granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby girl
To do the things she knows that she's supposed to"
Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would mean the world
To see her live to be someone who loves you"

'Cause you can't keep living on granny's Angel, no, no
See it's about time you get one of your own
I'm telling you can't keep livin 'on granny's Angel
'Cause whatcha gonna do when granny's gone

See we've all been a little guilty of
Living on the prayers of somebody else from time to time
Sometimes it's the prayers of your mama
Sometimes it's the prayers of your daddy
And sometimes it's the prayers of your little old granny

But the truth of the matter is God didn't have any stepchildren
He has no grandchildren, only sons and daughters
So I'm here to let you know
You can't keep living on somebody elses Angel
'Cause it's time you get one of your own

'Cause you can't keep living on granny's Angel
It's about time you get one of your own
I'm telling you, you can't keep living on granny's Angel
I said whatcha gonna do when granny's gone
I said whatcha gonna do when, think about it
Whatcha gonna do when grannys gone

'Cause you can't keep living on
No you can't keep living on
Whatcha gonna do when
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do when
I'm asking you
Whatcha gonna do when
Whatcha gonna do when gone
