#U SAVED ME LYRICS R. KELLY DRIVER#
The first verse describes a drunk driver who nearly lost his life in a car accident, the second verse describes a person on unemployment and has trouble looking for work, the third verse describes an 18-year-old drug dealer who was involved in a shootout when a drug deal went bad, and the fourth verse describes a person diagnosed with cancer who reached out to his mother to pray for him. Kelly narrates four real-life stories based on trials and tribulations of individuals and how they turned it over to God so that He can save them. 'Happy People/U Saved Me' serves as Kelly's own personal 'Best of Both Worlds'-highlighting both the singer's love for stepping (a Midwest-based dance craze) and need for salvation. Kelly sang this song live for the first time at the 2005 Soul Train Awards Show. Kelly is arguably one of R&B's most productive minds in years and the Chicago native creates music at a pace that few artists in any genre could keep up with. Now for ten years I've been straight ((Chorus)) You saved me, You saved me, You saved me, you saved me (Thank you Jesus) Gave me a second chance, you saved me, you saved me (Thank You Jesus)( Repeat 2 more times) ((verse 2)) Now I've been sitting in this chair, waiting on the phone to ring Praying up to God, that someone would call me with a job opening Cause it's been so hard for me month to month struggling to eat But still there was no answer(no answer) I stop believing in his word and got so mad at him and when somebody say God's good I'd just laugh at him (oh yeah) But in the nick of time his blessings rained on me by his grace the phone rings a lady says were hiring and that's when I knew he, ((Chorus)) ((verse 3)) Now I was 18 out there on the block selling drugs, with a gun at my waist And for people I had no love See the streets was my home and family and friends were gone had no one to trust and deep inside I was all alone And then a deal went bad one day and it was enough to pause me I was shot four times and before I knew it I was on my knees Blood rushing out my body, my hearts beating fast, I don't know Imma do don't think I‘m gonna last then I began to flash back on the things I've done in my past Then a very small voice said unto me I'll give you peace if you believe I accepted Christ that day hallelujah now I'm free!!! ((Chorus)) ((verse 4)) I was in the aisle of the grocery store with pain in my chest And I'm wondering were did it come from? I got tested and the results came back The doctor said "I'm sorry but you've got cancer.The music video was directed by Little X under his real name, Julien Christian Lutz.
The doctor said "I dont think he isn't gonna to make it." Family said "Make the funeral arrangements." Unplug the machine he's gone now, then told my wife to be strong now Then a small voice said unto me "If you promise to stop drinking." I surrendered the pain that day.

Intro: True Stories (what) Miracles (What) True Blessing (What ) I was riding in my car one day, in the express lane, rolling on the freeway And suddenly the phone rings, then I reached down beside me Then I looked on the floor felt on the back seat See I was drinking while I was driving.
