[Joey The Jerk] Everybody needs somebody to love Not only a mate but a father or a mother to hug A little cousin or a brother to slug A good friend that door is always open and we never feel bugged If you give than you shall receive So let your shoulder be the one they cry on and as their tears hit your sleeve Believe when you're in need your gonna reap from that seed So you won't be alone in good health or disease God so loved the world he sent his Son down to bleed And if I never share this than what is this to me Empty words and a great tragedy But its worth so much more to me and my family [Hook] What's the point of a song if you sing it all alone What's the point of life if you only live it on your own There's a song waiting to be sung And a life that's here to live The only way to have them both is for you to forgive [UNO Mas] Life is like a door that you open in and out It's as quiet as a mouse or a loud as a shout It's the person deep within no matter what type of skin It's the influence on others like the ones you let in To share a thought or a gift, d**h and life is in a voice The plan for your soul is the next man's choice Some know the truth but hide it like they're scared to get poor We're in a world full of hurt we can't afford to ignore Whether you're good at public speakin' or rappin' over these beats If you catch more air than Kobe gettin' people out they seats It's unique, no one else has been given what you got And a gift is only good when we use it a lot [Hook] [CookBook] October 16th, '04 the day I dreaded The family and I in suit and tie, church headed To pay my final respects to my father Heart heavy, eyes bloodshot red and filled with water As I stand to briefly speak, for a moment I was hushed To look across the sanctuary at the lives that he touched 400 plus, that day in attendance Caused me to think about my selfish ways with repentance As I sit and write this sentence, the things I remember most The love language of giving that he spoke, and folks Don't remember his career or the acquiring of wealth More than the things he did for people that are other than himself [Hook]
