Behind The Musik
Lyricist:Jonah Sorrentino
June 26th 1975, Miami, Florida was the place where I first arrived My parents smiled as I opened up my blues eyes 'Cuz they was newly married and I was just their first child
My Pop's from Jersey, my Mom's from Miami They met in the Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, New York City At Art College and yup they was hippies So I guess that makes me a child of the sixties
But anyway we didn't stay, we moved to Plant City Then to Lakeland, then to Tampa, then to Ybor City Living in the hood where things are never ever pretty The only white kid smack dab in the inner city
My playground's a parkin' lot plus a back alley At times, I would wake up in the dark with no electricity On top of that we strugglin' 'cause we got no money And goin' through all this inside, it's killin' me
On and on, on and on (This is behind the music) Your love goes on and on On and on (This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on On and on (This is behind the music) Your love goes on and on On and on (I'll take you'll behind the music)
I was about 6 when all this was goin' on Things began to change, everythin' I knew was up and gone They separated, on the weekends I would see my mom Still livin' with my pops in the hood but not for too long
When I was nine they divorced and I was movin' on To the suburbs with my mom 'cause the courts said it's wrong For me to live in the hood with Dad, so I'm up and gone Mom remarried and had a baby, we livin' in my grandma's home
We livin' in a neighborhood that's middle class But I felt poor 'cause of some things I didn't have And time passed, we moved out but things still ain't right I'm slippin' fast at home, all I do is yell and fight
My grades start to crash, plus I ran away twice And almost got shot by the cops one single night I started high school and I just party all the time But little did I know what was gonna happen to my life
On and on, on and on (This is behind the music) Your love goes on and on On and on (This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on On and on (This is behind the music) Your love goes on and on On and on (I'll take you'll behind the music) Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
At 15, I had a talk with my cousin, got me thinkin' Was there more to life than girls, partyin' and drinkin'? Picked up his Bible and I started readin' Revelations For some reason, I was cryin' when I reach the endin'
Now God was workin' on me and this is the beginnin' The first time in a long while when I started prayin' I had to move again and say goodbye to everyone My dad and my friends once again was all up and gone
Brand new school by myself sittin' all alone Feelin' like a fool every single day Iâ€~m comin' home But I would listen every night in my bedroom To Gospel Radio preach about Christ and just then soon
I gave my life to Him and everythin' became new I was born again, I've never been the same dude You took my sin and my guilt and let 'em blame You And on and on though the years, You always came through
On and on, on and on (This is behind the music) Your love goes on and on On and on (This is behind the music)
Your love goes on and on On and on (This is behind the music) Your love goes on and on On and on (I'll take you'll behind the music)
It was November and the year was 1995 I still remember the very first date with my wife And I was on my own doin' shows part time 20 years old, just tryin' to make somethin' of my life
I moved away from home when I was only eighteen Broke as a joke makin' music tryin' to chase a dream And everybody seemed to think I'm crazy except for me But God was there everytime to supply my needs
I went on staff at a church in the inner city I'm writin' rhymes in my spare time for my CD I mailed the demo to a label called Gotee And out of nowhere Todd Collins up and called me
He said he heard my junk and plus he want to sign me My heart jumped and plus I want to cry and scream But all I did was hung up the phone quietly And thanked God how He always provided for me
On and on, on and on Your love goes on and on On and on
Your love goes on and on On and on Your love goes on and on On and on
