I’m Just a Nobody

[Intro]
Melvin was walkin' downtown
And he saw this homeless dude
And he was tellin' everybody about Jesus
But nobody wasn't listenin', 'cause it looked like he was, you know, uh-uh-uh
He said, "Because of what I got, I'm not all on the 'Gram or anything"
Nobody wants to listen to me
And then he said, it touched him when he, when he said this

[Chorus]
He said, I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody, that's what he said, didn't he?
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody, who can save anybody

[Verse 1]
I got so many problems in my lifе that I just start drinkin'
I thought that would ease my pain, yeah
But I got tirеd of that, and I gave my life to the Lord
And that's when, that's when everything around me started to change, but people still kept sayin'

[Chorus]
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody, that's what they said
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody, who can save anybody

[Verse 3]
On the streets day and night, that's my life, that's my home
I really don't have nowhere else I can go
But I still keep roamin' these streets tellin' people about the love of Jesus
From corner to corner and from door to door, but when I knock, you know what they say

[Chorus]
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody, anybody know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody, who can save anybody One more time, sing it
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody, I'ma walk over here to the Baptist side
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody, who can save anybody

[Bridge]
Hold up a second, you know what he can do?
Save, save
Save your soul, anybody know what I'm talkin' about?
Save, save
Save your soul, right there

[Interlude]
When I was twelve years old
I'ma bring out my quartet roots
My mother was takin' me home
She was mad at God
Because her husband, my father, my stepfather Ray died at thirty-two years old
With colon cancer
So she stopped goin' to church for two years, but one day she said
"Freddie, we gon' go back to church
Because you need to know the Lord and the pardon of your sins, you're eleven years old
And it's time for you to get yourself together
Because one day the Lord is coming back in the rapture"
And I said, "Ma, what's the rapture?"
She said, "That's when the Lord's gonna come back and take everyone that loves him and know him
Freddie, our sins put Jesus on the cross"
And I didn't know nothin' about all that
And she talked to me, she said, "Well, next Sunday we goin'"
I went into the house and I was pricked in the heart at eleven years old
So I, I went and found the most holy place in my house that I knew
That I saw, that I witnessed
Which was my mother's bedroom
And I kneeled down beside that bed
And if you knew anything about mama, you don't go in her bedroom
And I kneeled down on that bed
And I started cryin' at eleven
And I said, "I'm sorry, Jesus
I didn't know I nailed you to the cross
And I'm sorry, Jesus, I didn't know I pierced your side
And I'm sorry, Jesus, I didn't know I nailed your feet
I didn't know I did this to you
But let the blood flow down, let the blood flow down
Let the blood flow down on me because I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry and ever since then, ever since then
I tried to tell 'em

[Chorus]
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody, anybody know what I'm talkin' about?
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody, one more time, can I get five of y'all to stand and say it?
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody, A nobody, nobody
I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody
About somebody who can save anybody

[Outro]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Do me a favor, high five about two or three people next to you and say
"Jesus loves you, Jesus loves you
If you didn't know it, He got your back, He got your back"
