Made Up My Mind

Yo this is to all y'all

Yo this is to all y'all good church going people

Talking about folks and don't be living right yourself

Y'all know who y'all is

Hmm-mmm-mmm

Lord they really think they fooling you

By coming to church on Sunday

Praying and laying hands on folks

Stomping and jumping around faking the Holy Ghost

But it's a thin line between walking it and talking it

And living it and giving it or just pretending it's alright

And do they really think that they could pull the wool over your eyes, Lord?

Do they really think that by faking they were saved that

They will get the same reward?

This be the realest thing I ever wrote for sure

And after this a lotta folks won't like me no more

But after this I'm gonna go answer to you Lord, so I

Made up my mind

I'ma go to church on Sunday

And sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings so that

Maybe thine will will be done

On Earth as it is in Heaven

And, uh, hopefully they will see

How much they really be discouraging a little old sinner like me

And Lord, who they think they jiving?

By singing these songs full of glory

But out in the world it's a different story

I'm running outta people to pray for me

And I'm not trying to act like I'm a perfect man

But if you speak about it you should be about it

Not just preach about it all day

'Cause if you do you run the risk of chasing

Some of the most beautiful people away

And it is never my intention to discourage you

Rather encourage you to change your life today

This be the realest thing I ever had to say

And after this a lotta folks won't like me no more

But after this I'm gonna go answer to you Lord, so I've

Made up my mind

I'ma go to church on Sunday

And sing a song that may hurt somebody's feelings so that

Maybe thine will will be done

On Earth as it is in Heaven

And, uh, hopefully they will see

How much they really be discouraging a little old sinner like me

Yeah, ain't none of y'all gotta clap for me

Yeah, your mama

Hey, and then after 10 years and some odd months

They finally said where they letting a brother go

One of the happiest days of my life

And that night I laid in my bed and I just reminisced over

You know, all the things that happened in my life, you know

And, and, and I was just, I just, finally they gave me back my life
