SHE'S AS BEAUTIFUL AS A FOOT
My girl is gettin on my last nerve and I don't wanna hurt her
She wants me to get a job
I get harassed cause I'm laying on my ass like a big slob
But everywhere I go, I get rejected
They won't hire a motherfucker with a jail record
So the least I could do, is look presentable
But I'm labelled by the city as a criminal
They won't give me no slack Jack
And I got one strike against me already because my skin is black
See I'm irrelevant to Help Wanted signs
And they wonder why niggaz commit crimes
My girl pays the rent gas and
40 Hour Week
spoken:
I was walkin'home from school
on a cold winter day,
took a short cut through the woods
and I lost my way.
It was gettin' late, and I was scared and alone.
Then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home.
sung: mama couldn't see him,
but he was standing there,
and I knew in my heart
he was the answer to my prayer.
Chorus:
Oh, I believe there are Angels Among Us,
sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
to show us how to live
to teach us how to give
to guide us with a light of love.
Verse 2
When life held troubled times
and had me down on my knees
there's always been someone
to come along and comfort me
a kind word from a stranger
to lend a helping hand
a phone call from a friend
just to say I understand
Now ain't it kind of funny
at the dark end of the road
someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.
repeat Chorus
Bridge:
They wear so many faces,
show up in the strangest places
and grace us with their mercies in our time of need.
repeat chorus
to guide us with a light of love
