[Intro: Phife Dawg]
Uh
Sometimes life's gonna throw curve balls your way
It doesn't matter if you can knock it out the park or not
In the immortal words of Gang Starr
Everybody must meet their moment of truth
Check it out, here we go
[Chorus: Dwele and Phife Dawg]
When you can't go on (Uh)
Remember you're God blessed (It's all about y'all)
And let that pain fall away (Mm)
Oh, oh, oh
On a rainy day
Remember you're God blessed
Watch them clouds fall away (Uh)
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1: Phife Dawg]
Now I'm feeling all was lost, how will I make it now?
Jarobi called, said Christmas day, he'd be exchanging vows
That made my day 'cause shorty was truly the one
But trust me fam, teach the goal, it's gonna kill mе, son
With that I took my mom's advice, she kept mе at my word
Moved to the West, set wedding day for April twenty-third
Jumped the broom, feeling good, love kept the boy alive
Honeymoon in Tobago to do some shows with Tribe
Hopin' to do a group album but that went nowhere fast
And to make matters worse, my boy J. Dilla passed
Feelin' bad 'cause me and Dilla playing home tag
For at least two years and now he's gone, damn
Wish I could have reached out to simply wish him well
It hurts to know that at the same time we was goin' through hell
I missed you fam, and that's not just for your sound
What up Ma Dukes? Malik is here to hold you down
[Chorus: Dwele and Phife Dawg]
When you can't go on
Remember you're God blessed (Uh)
And let that pain fall away (Mm)
Oh, oh, oh
On a rainy day
Remember you're God blessed
Watch them clouds fall away (Come on)
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2: Phife Dawg and Dwele]
On tour with Tribe, once again, great to be with crew
Step-son in his third year of playin' AAU
Wish I could lend my boy IQ to his growing game
Same goes for my bro who started ninth grade
Feels good hittin' the stage with all our beats and rhymes
Chemistry on point, still we quest to shine
For me it's all therapeutic, illness not on my mind
Phife just go all out like it's the last time (Oh-oh)
From Thanksgiving '06, to say the end of May (Ah-ah)
Your boy was so damn sick, felt like my last days
But the God I serve ain't see it that way
Guess what I'm sayin' is my whole family had prayed
[Interlude: Phife Dawg]
Hospital bed, where I laid, 'bout a two week stay
Started feelin', uh, after Memorial Day
[Verse 3: Phife Dawg and Dwele]
End of '07, hip hop honored Tribe, but ain't that great?
Media said, "Phife on crack", dude been losing weight
I laughed it off 'cause one thing Phife has is pride
I never let them see me sweat, I kept it all inside
2008, Tribe back on the road again
Well wishes from enemies as well as friends
See by this time, most knew what was going on
Some gave me dap, said, "Phife Diggy, stand strong"
Along with that you know what else bound to come along
These punk ass haters, wishing that Malik was gone
But to God be the glory, he kept my sanity
Gave me a wifey who commitment was there for me
I'm speaking morally, physically, spiritually
Always loving me for me, unconditionally
Not just annually or strictly anniversaries
Never can be put in words what you have done for me (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Put my emotions on my sleeve and you would comfort me
When he was ill and you and mom would hold that Jack for me and (Oh, I, I)
Four years on the list, and word, you donate the kidney
That ain't nothing but Jah-Jah blessing me
That ain't nothing but Jah-Jah blessing me
Hey, that ain't nothing but Jah-Jah blessing me
Come on
[Outro: Dwele]
All I need in this life is family, friends
It's God sent from above
Oh, I
Love and life
Life and energy
Jah still blessing me
Take me out my misery
It's hard to be the best you when love not around
Blessings from Jah, see my love from down
Never can we stop, with that feel good sound
I never knew a love, like this God sent, hey
It's hard to be the best you when love ain't around
Blessings from Jah, send your love down, yeah
No we can't stop with that feel good sound, yeah
I never knew a love like this, woah, woah, woah
Oh, nah
Hey, yeah
