26 Years, 17 Days Lyrics - Lyfe 268-192 - Lyfe Jennings

I was looking for God at my grandmother's house 

Underneath the cushions on the couch 

I looked all around side to side up and down 

That man was no where to be found 

So I called my grandmama on the phone 

Said old lady you best get home 

'Cause God ain't where you said he would be 

And there's something that I really need to speak to him about immediately 

She said boy tell Granny what's wrong is there something I can do 

I said big mama now it's a sensitive issue 

And Lord knows I don't want to worry you 

But I need somebody to talk to 

It's done been twenty six years and seventeen days 

Been to five different prisons got two babies on the way 

And they say it'll be a waste of time to pray 

Seeing that I'm going to hell anyway [2x] 

I done smoked weed with the best of ya'll 

Shot at all the rest of ya'll 

My heart hurts like an old man with high cholesterol 

The preacher said that I'm the dirtiest dude he ever saw 

Shouldn't even be livin' 

And he a Christian 

Shoulda been dead like seventeen times for seventeen crimes I committed 

Took 'em all to trial and got aquitted 

Left wavin' my middle finger in the air whispered in the prosecutor's ear, yeah I did it 

I done stole everything from dreams to wedding rings 

Auctioned off my soul for material things 

But lately its been kinda botherin' me 

I guess that turtle always catches up with the rabbit eventually 

Somebody loves you baby whoa whoa whoa somebody loves you baby [4x]
