Mills Lyrics - Dmx

F/ faith evans 

[dmx] 

I know that my savior lives 

And at the end, he will stand on this earth 

My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I will see god 

Yes, I will see him for myself - and I long for that moment 

Grandma, I really miss you and it ain't been the same 

I drop a tear when i, hear yo' name 

Mariella holloway, why you gotta be so far away? 

Used to say, "don't worry, it's gon' be okay" 

But it ain't - it's like when you left, you took the lord witchu 

Why couldn't I come when he came to get you? 

Damn I really miss you - I had to say it again 

I remember the time when I was like ten 

Crept up in the neighbor's yard, yeah, bein hard headed 

You told me I would get it - you said it! 

And boy did I get it, but after you spanked me, you hugged me 

Kissed me on my forehead, told me that you love me 

And I saw, that it hurt you, more than it hurt me 

I thought - how bad could this hurt be? I know now 

That's why it's only done out of love 

What I wouldn't give for one mo' hug, from grandma

Baby it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)

Baby it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that) 

Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin) 

[dmx] 

What I'm about to say a couple of family members is gon' hate me 

But i'ma let you know what's been goin on lately 

Now you know since you left, a lot of things witcho kids done changed 

Yeah jackie's still crazy, don't know what's up with james 

Ain't seen jerry in a while, you know he walk like you 

And renee's back in jail, you know she talk like you 

Riculah's(? ) doin real good now, she workin 

Rhonda's still runnin around, trickin, jerkin 

Buckeye's buggin, he done lost his mind 

And jarvis? back out of jail, doin fine 

Kylie? he done changed, it ain't all about self 

As for my father.. well, that's somethin else 

But that's my dog, he hold his grandmother down 

My great grandmother, makin a lot of trips out of town 

But that's a good thing, and if I could only hear you sing 

Once more, oh lord, the comfort it would bring 

[chorus] 

[dmx] 

You left behind a mother (and) eleven kids (and) eleven grandkids 

And since then, two of yo' grandkids done had kids 

They had a boy named tacoma, xavier's brother, that's right 

Xavier's means you a great grandmother 

I thank you for the best times of my life 

I thank you for when you first met her, accepted and lovin my wife 

I thank you for those sunday dinners, they were vital 

I thank you for my - life, I thank you for the bible 

I thank you for the songs that you sing in the mornin 

(amazing grace..) while I'm yawnin 

I thank you for the two beatings you gave me 

Cause I know somewhere along the line 

The lesson I learned from the two beatings saved me 

And when you died I cried like a baby, I begged the lord to take me 

Cause no one else could give me what you gave me 

But life like everything comes to an end 

I pray I go to heaven to see you again - amen 

[chorus] - repeat 2x 

[faith evans] 

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, yeahhh
