[Lyric] Down for a Minute (Ric Meeks)

Hook:
I was down for a minute (for a minute)
The opps thought that I was finished (man they thought that I was done)
People in my circle started to vanish (they were like bye bye bye bye)
But that's 'cause they couldn't see the vision

And this is what I'm here to tell 'em
Hey I'm back and I'm better, never gonna quit 'cause I'm a go getter
Hey I'm back and I'm better, never gonna quit 'cause I'm a go getter
In tough times I just bounce back, I hit God he get right back
My problem solver he about that
Devil wanted smoke, we gave him all of that

Verse 1:

I was face down in the mud (in the mud)
They talked about me, showed no love (showed no love)
They counted me out, but he counted me in
Not knowing that my blessings were just about to begin
Separated all of my foes disguised as friends
Exposed all their plots and brought that to an end
Snakes with a heart full of hate for my downfall them chumps couldn't' wait
Couldn't look me in the face, energy wasn't the same
Cause They was too busy throwing dirt on my name
(ahh) He with no sin cast the 1st stone
Too busy focusing on all of my wrongs
That hate they had in their own eyes blinded them to their closet full of dirty bones
Tried but failed to break this happy home, repented for my sins now devil get gone
Must've forgot that my Father's on high (how high?)
Real high on top of that throne
Hate for his children he don't condone
You got my father twisted and all wrong
I might be down, but it's only for a minute
Come look me in my eyes and see that I'm strong to the finish
Hook:
I was down for a minute (for a minute)
The opps thought that I was finished (man they thought that I was done)
People in my circle started to vanish (they were like bye bye bye bye)
But that's 'cause they couldn't see the vision

And this is what I'm here to tell 'em
Hey I'm back and I'm better, never gonna quit 'cause I'm a go getter
Hey I'm back and I'm better, never gonna quit 'cause I'm a go getter
In tough times I just bounce back, I hit God he get right back
My problem solver he about that
Devil wanted smoke, we gave him all of that

They hate to see you doing good (making moves, making moves)
But wasn't there when you put in work and (paid your dues, paid your dues)
So all that talk don't concern me, because one thing about my God he'll never desert me
Even if none of the Judas that I fed at my table never ever ever ever find me worthy
(Ha!)
My God got the last say, whatever he wills opposition will get slayed
Running circles around these hatas like the beltway
Destroying all plots on spot, this is Childs play
Now I'm back up, what you got to say?
Fake smiles, handshakes but I still pray that the Lord blesses you in each and everyway
I can't allow none of y'all to stand in the way of my God given calling
Some of the hate that I receive is appalling
Dropping 60 like MJ balling
When it comes to this grind no stalling
(Flex, Flex)
You can't kill my fire nor desire for me to want to lift the holy name of the Messiah
The harder that they come, my praises go higher
Because my heart keeps ticking even after this world expires
Hook:
I was down for a minute (for a minute)

But that's 'cause they couldn't see the vision

And this is what I'm here to tell 'em
Hey I'm back and I'm better, never gonna quit 'cause I'm a go getter
Hey I'm back and I'm better, never gonna quit 'cause I'm a go getter

Outro

I was down for a minute
The opps thought I was finished
People in my circle started to vanish
But that's cause they couldn't see the vision
