God Has Smiled On Me Lyrics - Afroman

Yeah, I be acting crazy rapping nasty but don't get me wrong 

I got sense I'ma thank God on this song 

This song is dedicated to all the homeboys that almost died 

But for some strange coincidental ironic reason you lived through it 

Homeboy but I'm here to tell you man it's not a coincidence 

And it's not ironic Gods got a plan and purpose for your life man 

The quarter piece quartet gonna help us sing it right about now 

God has smiled on me he has set me free 

(Come on, like when them bullets just fly past you) 

Ooh God has smiled on me and He's been good to me 

Before I was a wild juvenile I used to be a mild Christian young child 

I used to seek and seek search and search analyze everybody 

In my church, a 1 2 I've seen a lot of hypocrites religious fakers 

Deacon hungers and often takers when I turned 13 

I thought church was fake I took all I could take so I took a lil' brake 

I went to the world and bought a jerry curl and some crack to slice 

So I can do my own thing the street life I didn't understand good 

So I started gang banging to prove my manhood, yeah 

Have fun baggin' the gun the baddest kid on the block 

Was a Christian son went to the county jail 

Not once but twice gambling with my life 

With the dealing dice buucoooc 

God has smiled on me he has set me free 

(Come on, like when them bullets just fly past you) 

Ooh God has smiled on me and He's been good to me 

I got released in '94 told my mama I don't wanna get in trouble no mo' 

I wanna find a job obtain some wealth be independent like you 

And take care of my self, I stopped bangin' I really quit 

But not the people that I got into it wit' back in the day 

From Pompale to la they got beef wit' me homie up until this day 

To make a long story short I stepped out the tub 

Walked around the corner to the local night club 

Sittin' at a table just doin' my thang 

Just when I got approached by this rival gang 

His gang and my gang just got into it I tried to explain 

I didn't do it I told ya bro since '94 I been straight man 

I don't mess around no more 

God has smiled on me he has set me free 

(Come on, like when them bullets just fly past you) 

Ooh God has smiled on me and He's been good to me 

You know what he said, man he got smart wit' me he said 

Call the mortuary order some flowers you quit you're game 

But we never quit ours 

He got exited we started fist fightin' like Mike Tyson I was scratchin' 

And bitin' a bunch of them started mobbing me threw me on the floor 

And started robbing me the things that they took from me 

Wasn't nothing major, wallet, Walkman cheap lil' pager 

They took my food stamps, took my knife 

Took me and tried to take my life 

I tried to fight back but my efforts was useless 

Ain't no need to make enough excuses 

Amen I was on the ground getting beat down 

8 different people kicking me around, I thought about all the bad things 

I did when I ran from God as a little bitty kid no sign 

No reason, no clue, no warning, no fare nobody cared 

2 o'clock in the morning heavy licks they was layin' on me 

But at the same time my momma she was prayin' for me 

Lights from the helicopter filled the air and the police cars came 

Every were I told Jesus I don't deserve You but let me live 

And I'll serve You, God has smiled 

God has smiled on me he has set me free 

(Come on, like when them bullets just fly past you) 

Ooh God has smiled on me and He's been good to me 

Sometimes when I'm drinking man I think about all my close calls 

Ya know, what I'm saying the times I almost got shot 

The times I was committing crimes almost got caught by the police 

Man I think about car accidents that never happened 

I think about home boys I speak to one day 

Next day they catch 50 60 years maybe even rest in peace 

You know what I'm saying but check this out man we still alive right? 

God ain't through wit' us so let's put it down man 

Stop all this madness know what I'm sayin' 

Go on take care of some situations we need to take care of 

And to all the homeboys who robbed me 

Hey man I'm still alive so if y'all be so kind 

Go down there and buy my tape man that will make up 

Them food stamps y'all took from me right 

Amazing grace how sweet the sound 

That saved a wretch like me 

I once was lost but now I'm found 

Was blind but now I see 

God has smiled on me He has set me free 

God has smiled on me and He's been good to me 

Amazing grace how sweet the sound 

That saved a wretch like me 

I once was lost but now I'm found 

Was blind but now I see 

God has smiled on me He has set me free 

God has smiled on me and He's been good to me
