Made Up My Mind Lyrics


Lord, they really think they foolin' you
By comin' to church on Sunday
Prayin' and layin' hands on folks
Stompin' and jumpin' around, fakin' the Holy Ghost
But it's a thin line between walkin' it and talkin' itAnd livin' it and givin' it or just pretendin' it's alright
And did they really think that they could
Pull the wool over your eyes?
Lord, did they really think that by fakin' they were saved
That they would get the same reward?This be the realest thing I ever wrote for sure
And after this a lot of folks won't like me no more
But after this I gotta go answer to you, Lord
So I've made up my mind, I'ma go to church on SundayAnd sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings
So that maybe thy will, will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven and I hopefully they will see
How much they really be discouragin' a little old sinner like meAnd Lord who they think they jivin'
By singin' these songs full of glory?
Then out in the world it's a different story
I'm runnin' out of people to pray for me

And I'm not tryin' to act like I'm the perfect manBut if you speak about it, you should be about it
Not just preach about it all day, 'cause if you do you run the risk
Of chasin' some of the most beautiful people away
And it is never my intention to discourage you
Rather encourage you to change your life todayThis be the realest thing I ever have to say
And after this a lot of folks won't like me no more
But after this I gotta go answer to you, Lord
So I've made up my mind, I'ma go to church on SundayAnd sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings
So that maybe thy will, will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven and I hopefully they will see
How much they really be discouragin' a little old sinner like me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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.
