[Chorus: Faith Evans & DMX]
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
[Verse 2: DMX]
What I'm about✦ to say a couple of family✦ members is gon' hate me
But I'ma✦ let you know what's been goin' on lately✦
Now you know since you left a lot of things with your kids done changed✦
Yeah, Jackie's still crazy,✦ don't know what's up with James✦
Ain't seen Jerry✦ in a while, you know he walk like you
And Renée's✦ back in jail, you know she talk like you
Raquela doing real good now, she workin'✦
Rhonda's still runnin'✦ around,✦ trickin', jerkin'✦
Buckeye's buggin',✦ he done lost his mind
And Jarvis?✦ Back out of jail, doin' fine
Kylie? He done changed,✦ it ain't all about✦ self
As for my father...✦ well, that's somethin' else
Boog, that's my dog, he hold his grandmother✦ down
My great grandmother,✦ makin'✦ a lot of trips out of town
But that's a good thing, and if I could only✦ hear you sing
Once more, oh Lord, the comfort it would bring
[Chorus: Faith Evans & DMX]
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
[Verse 3: DMX (Faith Evans)]
You left behind✦ a mother,✦ eleven✦ kids, eleven✦ grand-kids✦
And since then, two of your grand-kids✦ done had kids
I got a boy named✦ Tacoma,✦ Xavier's✦ brother✦
That's right, Xavier's✦ made you a great-grandmother✦
I thank you for the best times✦ of my life
I thank you for when you first met her acceptin' and lovin'✦ my wife
I thank you for those Sunday✦ dinners, they were vital✦
I thank you for my life, I thank you for the Bible
I thank you for the songs that you'd sing in the mornin'✦
(Amazing✦ Grace…) while I'm yawnin'✦
I thank you for the two beatings✦ you gave me
'Cause I know somewhere along the line the lesson✦ I learned from the two beatings✦ saved✦ me
And when you died I cried like a baby,✦ I begged✦ the Lord to take me
'Cause no one else could give me what you gave me
But life, like everything, comes✦ to an end
I pray I go to Heaven✦ to see you again✦ – Amen✦
[Chorus: Faith Evans & DMX]
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
She used✦ to tell me that…
Baby,✦ it's gon' be okay✦
I really✦ miss hearin'…✦
[Outro: Faith Evans]
Amazing✦ Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved✦ a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see, yeah
