Different Times (feat. T-Boz)

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 fall on my knees and pray

And never listen to no one 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 pushin'

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

E'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

Oh you got could one day close your eyes

Yes you do

I just kept looking and guess who showed up

I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray

Oh you got to do close you eyes, yes you do

Kept on pushin'

I just kept looking and guess who showed up

Oh, oh

I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray

Oh you got to do is close your eyes, yes you do

Kept on pushin'

I just kept 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
