When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity I knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a fee Broke every window in my hotel heart When I was only 5 years old, the 12 years scar I'd hear the same voice, echo in my mind See son you got an angel, to chase the devil at the night When I was a kid, my grandfather was a preacher He'd talked about God, yeah he was something like a teacher He said "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you can never spend his wealth I took a little faith and put it in a parking lot I drove to a strange town full of have and have nots Yeah, and as I walked through that story book of life I've been looking for an angel To chase the devil at night, whoa When I was a kid, my grandfather was a preacher He'd talked about love, yeah he was something like a teacher He said "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you can never spend his wealth Wave, put your hands up and hands down Wave, put your hands up and hands down Wave, put your hands up and hands down When I was a kid, my grandfather was a preacher He'd talked about life, yeah he was something like a teacher He said "God only helps those who learn to help themselves" He was a million miles from a million dollars But you can never spend his wealth He was a million miles from a million dollars But you can never spend his wealth
