Raphael Saadiq ft. T-Boz - Different Times Lyrics

I been in some hard times, I seen a lot of good times
But everyday I count my blessings this way 'cause I know that everyday's a different day
My friends can change but his will never change
And I knew there would be some time, when I would second guess my mind

So I kept on walking, kept on striving,
Kept on singing and guess who showed up

As I walked down the street one day, I thought I heard a brother say
'Living in bad conditions can make you feel like no one,
As long as I, that's why I always try and do my best to search inside
But I knew there would be a day, when I had to look the other way

So I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up

I told myself one day to falll on my knees and pray
And never listen to noone if they can't be true to you
No one should spend precious time living for material love
His money, no money no money, can make me happy
Now it looks a lot clearer outside, 'cause I'm using my eyes

I close my eyes and
Kept on pushing,
I just stopped looking and guess who showed up

My friend won't let you down, He's always been around
That's one thing I know for sure Even when I'm wrong, he's right at my door
He'll never ignore

Yes, I got a lotta things to say, I can't say them in all one day
I'll take no credit for the blessings that He's given to me
Without Him I know that Saadiq could never, ever, ever be
When I thought it couldn't get no better,
Just when I thought it was almost over

Oh no
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up

Oh, oh

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up
I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray
I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray
I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray
I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray
