When God Made You

(*Dana Jackson*)

You make me feel like sunshine baby - 2x

[Hook]

When God made you, all my fantasies came true

Through all the rain and pain, you stayed true

Them hoes, you don't do what they do

Pretty thing you a queen he made a lady, when God made you

[Lil' O]

When I was down who picked me up, through all my stress and strain

Layed my head on her chest, and said confess your pain

Wiped the tears from my eyes, when they fell like rain

Then hugged me tight, and said life is like a test young mayn

Pretty thing black queen, no other divine

Angel sent from the heavens, sweet mother of mine

Makes me wonder how this world, could take a mother of five

And send her to the early death, when only love was her crime

Got me yelling out, why cancer take her Lord

But then I stopped, cause you taught us keep our faith in God

But when I think how you suffered, damn it makes it hard

At 39, you ain't 'pose to be in no graveyard

Plus you worked so hard, for everything that you had

Five kids from one man, never cheated on dad

And even when times were bad, you always kept it hid

Cause wasn't no sacrifice, too great for your kids see

[Hook - 2x]

[Lil' O]

And lil' sis I reminisce, on the day you was born

I picked you up in my arms, that's where I keep you from harm

The only living thing I got, to remind me of mom

So I'd die before I let you, fall victim to pourin'

Or be a tramp, or a gold digger

Be independent, don't be chasing after no nigga

Cause if that playa really love you, he ain't gonna mind sharing his wealth

And he'll respect you cause he know, that you can get it yourself

And don't be fast with your ass, let him know that you a lady

Don't be up in these streets, running round having babies

And do your worthless boo'ing, always talk educated

So they know you ain't no chickenhead, that's just overrated

And know that only suckers, fall in love with hoes

Be sexy but classy, keep on your clothes

And these words from your bro, I thank God that you listen

Cause you grew up to be a queen, when I see you ya glisten see

[Hook - 2x]

[Lil' O]

I thank the Lord for you, after we made love last night

Then I wrapped you in my arms, and I held you tight

Then I thought about the times, I was living in hell

Cause I couldn't hold you, cause I was locked up in jail

But baby even in my cell, I had your face on the wall

So the sun would always shine, even behind bars

You made me realize, life is more than money and cars

If I didn't have a penny, you'd still call me a star

You make me wanna get my life right, starting tonight

And you ain't gon be baby mama, I'ma make you my wife

When the average girl would cheat, you refused to act shife

And when I make it you gon have, the baddest things in life

Now how I look with a chickenhead, with collars on fleece

When I got a jazzy queen, with three college degrees

When I put it on your finger, I'ma be on my knees

Girl you beautiful intelligent, you all that I need see

[Hook - 2x]
