i ain't been perfect all my life i've come from streets of new york city and what changed my life my god brother asked me to take him to the music store to buy a cd and i was he only reason i was there because i had a car and i drove him to the car when he got in the car he popped the cd on that changed my life forever all in one cd i love my dad i'm a mama's boy but i love my dad i heard the words that tell him that don't make you less of a man to respect and love your father yeah all right and then i know i was wrong they want to act like we're the only ones that ever drunk wine smoke refill whatsoever i can admit i was born in church and was raised in a church i knew better but i still wasn't doing better and i was in a bad situation but the man my god brother popped the cd on and got to the middle of the cd and i heard a song that changed my life that went something like this [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] that's what i tell them sometimes i like to talk it like you would say [Music] [Music] i don't wanna [Music] [Music] they can lift your hand and say i'm still in god's care good god and then ain't nobody who can lift your hand and say i'm not worried about what trump doing in the white house and i want everybody to do me away i want you to look at the person sitting there should you just tell them to say neighbor y'all they just said neighbor tell them god been good to me tell someone i look back over my neighbor and see how many hills he brought me over how many values he took me through i just need to know in front of him tonight [Music] i'm in your [Music] i want you to grab somebody by hand quick one thing i saw mr harvard do he will walk to the stage and he'll invite jesus into the service he will be cited to be seen but he'll stop the whole program and say lord i just want to talk to you so i want everybody to need a miracle before you get back home and just look toward him and i want you to tell god one thing you need him to do for your night now if you're gonna be ashamed he ain't gonna do it for you but if you need a miracle from god i want you to shout to the top of your heart and tell god what you need him to do right now i want you to open up your mouth and tell them i need a financial breakthrough i need you to turn around for me i need healing in my body god [Music] [Music] is [Music] every person in this place can be real like me at some point tonight we were down it was your music that lifted us up i left quartet but she was in westport mississippi and you looked at me and told me someone don't get back to saying and because of your words i told my wife i said baby i'm gonna get another shot even if i got the same to my tracks but i went to the stage one night and i told the world i said i want y'all to just say yourself and i just told them i said i won't try to get loud but this is the song that brought me back to where i was supposed to be and i just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and i wish it was about 200 more folks that'll jump up on their feet and say thank you i wish to just trouble myself thank you holly i was gonna say thank you [Music] uh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you can't let this
