I've seen a lot of things in my life   A lot of ups and downs   Made a lot of mistakes   No matter what, you've always been by my side   You've always been my best friend      You're the love of my life   You're everything to me   You never left my side   You're my best friend   I love you so much   Yes, you are   You're my best friend      Since the beginning of time   All you did was bless men   Too young to understand but now you my best friend   How could they doubt you, never think about you   Don't they know nothing's possible without you      Faith without fear that's how they raised me   Words of man kill but never phase me   Grateful for wisdom that you gave me   But still I'm like, dear God I wonder, could you save me?      Too much sinning, gotta be more than plush living   Gotta be more than grabbing nines to buck tin in   Gotta be more than just to lust women   Gotta be more than platinum Rolexes, 600's and crushed linen      Praise your name, I know some of them hate their due   Judgment day, don't they know they can't escape your crew   I'm just trying to live right and pray you take me through   And with this song I dedicate to you, my Lord      Lord, you mean the world to me   Before I was born you chose me   You always hear me when I'm calling   Even catch me when I'm falling      You're the closest one to me   I surrender all to thee   I want the whole wide world to see   That we've always been and we'll always be   Best friends      Sometimes I reminisce and wonder how I made it this far   Because of you, I'm me, so you the real star   Your hindsight, the time's right to get my mind tight   Then give it to you and let it shine bright      My best friend, only know how to teach the truth   Plant the seeds of life and let them eat the fruit   Can't you see that He spread love for you   Shed blood for you, cry for and die for you      Willies with mac millies know how you get down   We know the drama you bring whenever you hit town   Just remember when you pray, God is love   Gracious, merciful, forgive even the hardest thugs      Life as we know it, it all begins with Him   Life as we know it, it all ends with Him   If I was you I would never try to pretend with Him   He might spaz and blow it, I'm best friends with him      Lord, you mean the world to me   Before I was born you chose me   You always hear me when I'm calling   Even catch me when I'm falling      You're the closest one to me   I surrender all to thee   I want the whole wide world to see   That we've always been and we'll always be   Best friends      Been two and a half years since my man Big passed   Been two and a half years since my world crashed   I needed help, God gave me the power   Gave me the strength to go face to face with my darkest hour      Looked me in the eyes and ask, "What you doing unhappy?"   "Don't you know why I'm here?" and started shooting at me   Back to the wall, is my faith gonna play out   Never wavered once, gave me no way out      Your time to die, don't even stress the date   You're coming with me, your soul I'm next to take   I told him, "I'm too much blessed with faith"   "And living for Christ" and then he said, "Manifest the great"      All of a sudden, what I'm remembering   Ground started to shake, everything trembling   The power of the truth was shooting through my Timberlands   Here was my Lord Jesus Christ, my best friend again, come on      Lord, you mean the world to me   Before I was born you chose me   You always hear me when I'm calling   Even catch me when I'm falling      You're the closest one to me   I surrender all to thee   I want the whole wide world to see   That we've always been and we'll always be   Best friends      Lord, you mean the world to me   Before I was born you chose me   You always hear me when I'm calling   Even catch me when I'm falling      You're the closest one to me   I surrender all to thee   I want the whole wide world to see   That we've always been and we'll always be   Best friends      Lord, you mean the world to me   Before I was born you chose me   You always hear me when I'm calling   Even catch me when I'm falling      You're the closest one to me   I surrender all to thee   I want the whole wide world to see   That we've always been and we'll always be   Best friends      I love you Jesus   Thank you, forgive me for my trespasses   As I forgive those who trespass against me   Thank you
