Lyfe Jennings - It Coulda Been Worse Lyrics

Yeah, yo you always complaining about how bad stuff is.
Complaining about the light bill, hey its people that don't even got lights, you know?
So I wanna tell everybody listening man embrace your struggle
'Cause no matter what man true story it coulda been worse

I was going through some changes in my life.
Cussing and complaining every night.
Telling God the way he treating me ain't right, and how I don't deserve this
A voice from some where came to me and said you got the audacity
To fix your mouth to disrespect, how soon we forget.

And he said remember when you were sick and you got better,
Remember I put your family back together,
Remember I could have cut you off forever.
So no matter how bad you think it hurts.

[Chorus]
It coulda been worse, you coulda been dead.
You coulda been paralyzed, confined to a bed.
You coulda lost everything, you shoulda lost everything.
But somebody's watching you, and gave you another chance.

It's so funny how we think we got it rough,
When there are babies who got mothers hooked on drugs,
And this depression got some folks losing their home.
They spent their whole lives saving for.
It's petty in comparison, tell me you would switchplaces with them,
You only got to God to complain but have you ever went to him to just say thanks.

And don't you remember he didn't let that disease take you,
Remember he didn't even get a thank you,
Remember how could he let it just to hurt you.
So no matter how bad you think it hurts

It coulda been worse,
(Coulda been worse)
You coulda been dead.
(Coulda been dead)
You coulda been paralyzed,
(Coulda been paralyzed)
Confined to a bed.
(Confined to a bed)
You coulda lost everything,
(Coulda lost everything)
You shoulda lost everything.
(Shoulda lost everything)
But somebody's watching you,
(Somebody's watching you)
And gave you another chance.
(And gave you another chance)

It coulda been worse,
(Coulda been worse)
You coulda been dead.
(Coulda been dead)
You coulda been paralyzed,
(Coulda been paralyzed)
Confined to a bed.
(Confined to a bed)
You coulda lost everything,
(Coulda lost everything)
You shoulda lost everything.
(Shoulda lost everything)
But somebody's watching you,
(Somebody's watching you)
And gave you another chance.
(And gave you another chance)
