Gotta Believe Lyrics


Verse 1:
Folks having hard times
Living in the world so cold
Life dealt them cards now
People trying hard not to fold
Pressures their heart now
Feels like they bout to explode
While feeling down they asking, "Is this the life that I chose?"
It seems so unfair
Man we just trying to survive
But its like no one cares
We living life just to die
And when I come share
That Jesus cares about your life
Their heart is hard, they disbelieve
And they filled with too much pride to cry out
LORD
I surrender my all, or cry

LORD
Will you answer my call
Cause this life is not easy
God why I gotta be me
It's hard for me to trust cause when I do somebody leaves me
See, life without Christ is not life, it's daydreaming
Day in and Day out
I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall
Day in and Day out
I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall ounces
Trying to figure out, why is this the way the ball bounces
Hook:
Everywhere I go its still the same song
Everybody ge tting by, trying to hold on
To a life that He gives
Doubting who is
Don't doubt, don't doubt
You gotta believe
(Repeat 2x's)
Verse 2:
LORD peep the hood child
Rocking Ones with an ice grill
Folks say he should smile
His mug's mean cause life is
He wants that good life
A caddlac truck with nice rims
And the culture says to get it live like the thugs live
A hustlers ambition
Since the day he was born
I wished it was different
Is this place really the norm
So when I go witness
God's forgiveness seems foreign
And his heart is dark, he disagrees and he's filled with too much scorn to cry
LORD
Will you take me as I am or cry
LORD
Can you make me a new man
Cause this life is so greasy
God why I gotta be me
Why can't I be that dude I saw rapping on the tv
Questions by some who blind to the grace that freed me
Day in and Day out
I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall
Day in and Day out
I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall ounces
Trying to figure out, why is this the way the ball bounces
Hook
Verse 3:
This world is gone pass away
So LORD my prayer is they get it
Your could probably come back today
And a lot of these folks just might miss it
Caught up in their worldly ways
Not knowing they could change in an instance
It just takes faith to get in this
But it's been replaced by religion
So cats remain blind
Thinking that their works just might save
Some just stay high
Thinking there's no way you would take 'em
Saying it's a hard life
Complaining when I go witness and
I ask them, what if God did this so He could get your attention
So you'd cry
LORD
I confess and believe
Or cry, LORD
I see it's you that I need
Cause change is so hard
And life is mean in these streets
And it seems there is no God
But see since Adam and Eve
Mankind is so lost
Confused on the path they should walk
And so...
Day in and Day out
I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall
Day in and Day out
I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall ounces
Trying to figure out, why is this the way the ball bounces
Hook

Shari Watson (born 1972 in St. Louis, Missouri), known as Truth Hurts, is an American R&B singer. She is noted for her funky and powerful vocal style.
After signing to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment label, Truth Hurts first appeared on Busta Rhymes' 2001 hit single "Break Ya Neck" as a background vocalist. For her first solo LP Truthfully Speaking, issued on Aftermath in 2002, she enlisted the production talents of Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Hi-Tek, and DJ Quik. Her debut single, "Addictive," was a Top 10 hit in the United States, and featured a verse from hip hop artist, Rakim.

The song, produced by DJ Quik, utilized an uncleared sample of "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai" by Hindi artist Lata Mangeshkar. The copyright holders sued Aftermath and parent company Interscope Records for $500 million dollars, and issued an injunction against further sales or performances of the record. A judge later ruled that the album was not to be sold with out being stickered with proper credits for Mangeshkar.

In summer of 2002, Truth Hurts secured a high profile spot on the Smokin' Grooves tour with Lauryn Hill, Outkast, Cee-Lo, The Roots, Jurassic 5, and Erykah Badu.[3] However, following the buzz on "Addictive", Truth Hurts became relatively obscure, only contributing guest vocals to "The Watcher 2" on Jay-Z's Blueprint 2 album and "What" on Eve's Eve-Olution. To date, she remains as a one-hit wonder in both America and the UK. "Addictive" was followed up by a song called "The Truth" featuring R. Kelly on the chorus. The song underpeformed on American radio and video outlets. This was likely due in part to the firestorm of negative press Kelly received over sex crime allegations that hit media outlets shortly before the single's release.

Truth Hurts returned in 2004 with her second album, Ready Now, on Raphael Saadiq's independent Pookie Entertainment label. Its first single, "Ready Now", was released in the summer of 2004 without much fanfare, but being critically acclaimed due to its high quality, mainly because of the work of legendary Raphael Saadiq, who executively produced the album and produced most of the songs in it. Some sources state that a Georgia based record company is looking for Truth Hurts for a possible spot on a movie soundtrack. Dream Leader Ent CEO Carlton Richard has stated that he has been a long time fan of hers and would like to know if she would be interested in being on the soundtrack. No word yet on if and when this project will be available.
