Rehab - This I Know Lyrics

Dagnabbit, I got the same bad habits my dad had as a lad
I get mad at myself sittin' in the back of a cab
Feelin wack as a whip on the back of a slave on a ship
back in the days at times waking up is slap in the face 
But the passion of one whose flesh was torn away
by the cat of 9 tails and pierced by one spear and 3 nails has saved my soul
but there's still times I get weak
and there's still times I get beat 
and sometimes I write rhymes way to ill to repeat
and I don't want to be another hypocrite on a beat
but sometimes when the sun shines I wish I could sleep it away 
but today I woke up with some strength 
counted a couple of blessings and stepped out in the street 
and the sweet smell of victory put my mind at ease 
and the breeze told the trees to whisper something to me
and they told me, "don't worry I told the devil you was with me"

Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong

Those who trespass against, allow me to forgive I wasn't dealt
the hand they got lives they got to live
besides they don't answer to me I'm not you 
and we've all made mistakes and know not what to do
it's true see if I hurt you that hurts me 
I'm not entitled to the lord's tender mercy
Until I drop down on my knees and say please 
Put me into your solution and free me of this disease
I won't make it one more step unless you take
This load I tote with my soul, I'll just break 
and won't wait one second longer than I must 
or bond with anyone stronger than this trust 
so the only thing to do is lean on you 
and not be lead astray by what the demon do

[Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, the glory, for ever.]

Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong

Don't try to be the best man be the best that you can
cause number one ain't nothing but the opinion of man 
and man loves death, hate, crime, and pain 
his kids are into theft, long lines of cane
insanity profanity ecstasy 
and blasphemy but as for me 
I'm just tryin to maintain 
and it's a damn shame our brains have been trained 
to be crazy and lazy, scared to make change 
in these hard times I try to be a role model 
but I ain't gonna lie y'all, I still battle the bottle 
and that's my biggest struggle I ain't the one to follow 
sometimes I get the urge to leave a 12 pack hollow 
just writing some inner-sentiments 
ain't none of us innocent 
from mansions to tenements 
whether male or feminine 
all of us are guilty of showing a little ignorance 
being resentful, envious, and belligerent
one day maybe we can figure it out 
but 'til then I guess I'll just pull this cigarette out 
pull up a chair and open a brew
sit down on the porch and do what I do

Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong
