<br>You can tell the world I was a coke dealer...you can tell everybody I dropped outta school..

<br>Some folks will say I was a waste of talent...a lot of people will say I.. Was nothing but trouble.

<br>

<br>The old folks a say I never listened…and they’ll probably tell you I put my Mama through hell…

<br>A few folks a cry…but a few will probably scream out “I’m glad he’s gone.”…

<br>

<br>But when I go Home…When I stand to be judged….

<br>

<br>

<br>Whatever they gotta say ain’t gone matter…

<br>

<br>I know a handful of people will tell you I changed….

<br>

<br>They’ll tell a different side of the story…

<br>They’ll tell you bought a man who never gave up…they’ll tell you bought a man who pursued a better day...

<br>They’ll tell you bought a man who wanted everybody to win…They’ll remember a different me…

<br>The people who met me after I found God..They’ll remember the guy that just kept on smiling…

<br>The “Least of These” will say I never gave up on em…They’ll tell the world that I never left their side…

<br>

<br>But when I go Home…When I stand to be judged..Whatever they say ain’t gone matter

<br>

<br>The people who really knew me…they’ll tell you that…I never thought it was about me…

<br>They’ll remember a man who…put everybody before himself..and found joy..in serving others.

<br>

<br>They’ll tell you that I never wanted to be a leader…but, they’ll say I inspired others to lead…

<br>The folks who really knew me…they’ll tell you a story about a man who fell in Love; with Love.

<br>

<br>They’ll tell you a story about a man who believed that..”The Only One That Can Stop Me Is Me.”

<br>

<br>But when I go Home..When I stand to be judged..Whatever they say ain’t gone matter

<br>

<br>You’ll hear stories about me jumping outta planes..You’ll hear stories about me speaking before legislators…

<br>You’ll hear stories about me giving to the poor..being a friend to the friendless…

<br>You’ll hear about me being a voice…where the was no voice..and being a light in the darkest places…

<br>Some a say I gave when I didn’t have…and I loved when I wasn’t loved…

<br>

<br>But when I go Home..When I stand to be judged…Whatever they say ain’t gone matter

<br>

<br>One day I’ll be forgotten..one day I’ll be a nothing more than a …faded memory..

<br>I just hope…I just hope the Love I give while I’m here..is enough to spread from person to person…

<br>I pray the Love I put out in the world..is enough to be passed down..generation to generation.

<br>

<br>A hundred years from now…I pray that one of the people I touched.. I pray their great grandchildren…

<br>Will give the love that I passed on…to their children.

<br>

<br>I pray that the Love that you pass on…will touch the heart of someone who’ll pass it on as well.

<br>

<br>But When I go Home..When I stand to be judged..whatever happens ain’t gone matter.

<br>

<br>Pass Love around…and when it looks like ain’t nobody Loving back…Love some more.

<br>

<br>If they never call your name out..if they never give you an award..keep Loving.

<br>

<br>It will matter one day…It’ll bring a smile to someone’s face one day…

<br>

<br>Love yall…Keep me in your prayers.
