Could've Been Lyrics


[Chorus:]It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been
[Verse One:]Me in the cold with
(Everything gone)
No house no job
(Outside all alone)
Sitting trying to figure out
(Where I went wrong)
Can somebody help me
(Tell me what do I do)
Can't feed my kids need
(Money for the rent)
Bills after bills and

(Everything spent)
The enemy telling me
(Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying
(Lord please get me through)
See that's the reason
(I just can't thank you enough no matter how hard I try Jesus I realize)
[Chorus:]It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been
[Verse Two: (Tye Tribbett)]Me in the cold with
(Everything gone)
No house no job
(Outside all alone)
Sitting trying to figure out
(Where I went wrong)
Can somebody help me
(Tell me what do I do)
Can't feed my kids need
(Money for the rent)
Bills after bills but
(Everything spent)
The enemy telling me you
(Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying
(Lord please get me through)
See it's easy to complain
(Bout material things)
When you don't have to worry
(Bout whatever life brings)
But somebody here tonight
(Don't know what they gonna eat)
So I gotta be careful
(Cause it could've been me)
See y'all that's the reason
(I just can't thank you enough no matter how hard I try Jesus I realize)
[Chorus:]It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without you love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been
[REPEAT CHORUS][Breakdown:] oh oh
[Vamp One:]Thank you
Thank you
I thank you it could've been me [repeat]
You didn't have to do it no
You Didn't have to do it no
You Didn't have to do it no thank you [repeat]
[Breakdown:] oh oh
[Vamp One][Vamp Two:]Too good to stop now father
I wanna give you thanks some more
All the things I've been through now
I see I'm better than I was before
When I think about all you've done
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
[Vamp One][Vamp Two]

Kirk Franklin (born January 26, 1970 in Riverside, Texas) is a platinum-selling musician who blended gospel, hip hop, and R&B in the 1990s. He released his first gospel album, Kirk Franklin & Family, in 1993, and is known as the leader of contemporary gospel choirs such as Kirk Franklin & the Family, Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation, and God's Property.


A native of Fort Worth, Texas, he was raised by his aunt, Gertrude Franklin. He developed a talent for music early, playing the piano at age four and becoming music director of his church at age eleven. After getting kicked out of school in his teenaged years, having a girlfriend become pregnant, and after a friend was shot to death he returned to the church. After leading the DFW Mass Choir at the 1990 Gospel Music Workshop of America Convention, he organized "The Family", a seventeen-voice choir, in 1992 and began his recording career.

He has integrated hip hop styles with gospel themes in albums such as The Nu Nation Project and God's Property, which achieved success on the Billboard Pop Album, R&B and gospel charts.
Franklin has collaborated with the biggest names in gospel music, including Tonex, Donnie McClurkin, Richard Smallwood, Crystal Lewis, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Jaci Valesquez, and Willie Neal Johnson. He also has displayed a willingness to collaborate with artists in the secular realm, including Bono, Mary J. Blige, Crystal Lewis, and R Kelly in the hit single, "Lean on Me."
