It Coulda Been Worse Lyrics


(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
(Chorus)
It coulda been worse,
you coulda been dead
you coulda been paralyzed
confined to a bed
you coulda lost everything
shoulda lost everything
but somebody's watching you
and gave you another chance
it coulda been worse
you coulda been dead
you coulda been paralyzed
confined to a bed
coulda lost everything
shoulda lost everything
but somebody's watching you
and gave you another chance.

Lyfe Jennings (born Chester Jennings in Toledo, Ohio) is an African American R&B and soul singer-songwriter, record producer, and instrumentalist. He plays the guitar, bass, and piano which he integrates into his music.

Jennings began singing at a young age in a Toledo church choir. He later joined a group called The Dotsons with two of his cousins and his older brother, Jay. The group separated in the early 1990s, and Jennings rediscovered music and started a music program at an Ohio prison where he was serving a ten-year sentence on an arson-related charge. He has cited Erykah Badu's 1997 album Baduizm as one of the reasons for his rediscovery. Jennings was released from prison in December 2002 and started to pursue a solo career in music. In January 2003, he performed in Harlem at the Showtime at The Apollo. The same year, he also independently released his first EP, What Is Love. To further pursue his career, Jennings moved to New York City where he performed at rapper Nelly's concert at Radio City Music Hall, at an NAACP convention where he performed an original song called "Thank God for the NAACP", and at the Cafeteria in Chelsea, Manhattan during the blackout on August 14. He signed with Columbia Records and released his debut album Lyfe 268-192 (268-192 was his inmate number) in August 2004. His first single was Stick Up Kid, which didn't see much sucess until after the album was released. The album featured his hit single "Must Be Nice". Jennings' second album The Phoenix was released in August 2006. The first single, "S.E.X.", feautures Jennings' protégé, singer LaLa Brown.
