I been in some hard times, I seen a lot of good times

But everyday I count my blessings this way

'Cuz 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 [bad word] 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, 'cuz I'm using my eyes

I close my eyes and kept on pushing

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

He'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?

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking

And guess who showed up?

I told myself all day

To fall on my knees and pray

I told myself all day

To fall on my knees and pray

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking

And guess who showed up?

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking

And guess who showed up?

I close my eyes and 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

Even when I'm wrong, he's right at my door
