The world sure ain’t what she used to be
Hard to know just where to place your trust.
A world-wide shortage of integrity
But put your faith in me, you won’t go bust!
Bullets flying everywhere, you feel under attack!
I got your six, brother! I got your back!
Lost out in the darkness but I’ll get you back on track!
I got your six, brother! I got your back!
And life can sure seem crazy nowadays.
With bad news hitting hard from every side.
It’s hard to make it through, but there are ways.
Just stick with me, I’ll be your faithful guide !
They’re getting in your face and they’re starting to talk smack!
I got your six, brother! I got your back!
The burden’s getting heavy but I’ll help you tote your pack!
I got your six, brother! I got your back!
These are the times that try a good man’s soul.
It seems so many want to drag you down.
You fear that you may never reach your goal.
But I can get you home both safe and sound!
You need to find a win but the odds against are stacked!
I got your six, brother! I got your back!
You know you can count on me. That’s a cold hard fact!
I got your six, brother! I got your back!
If I made you feel sad or mad yesterday,
I apologize for making you feel that way.
Because that was not my intention at all,
We both made mistakes, our downfall.
But today, I'm a little older and wiser,
I would embrace being a compromiser.
I know the harm cruel words can cause;
sometimes, we need to regroup and pause.
I aim to build you up, not tear you down,
Make you smile; take away that big frown.
With that being said, I may fall short
because I'm not perfect; I have a wart.
Whatever the case, know I adore you,
I have your best interest at heart too;
When you are down and feeling blue,
I will always root for you in all you do.

When the world
Knocks you down.
I'll help you
Back up.
When you feel
Like you can't do this.
I'll remind you,
You can.
And your strong enough
To fight this.
When you need me to pray for you.
You know I have
Your back always.
Cause I love you
And your my brother.
Oh, scarlet skies and wanton eyes;
You stare upon my view, you ever do bring;
Of fluttering wings, of little children sings…
The songs of joyful love, motionless sighs;
So alone in part, yonder scattered hearts;
My body glows, it shows;
It’s just the last call for so lonely hearts;
A mist of those colorful;
So no regrets, it’s you that is left;
And rightly so you're yet intact;
Yet alone but not alone embrace;
Hold on to God He's got your back;
So, scarlet skies now blue in awe, ooh;
Heavenly as angels bring in the dew;
So alone are you yet not true;
Lonely you're not for you are never apart;
Chance last call for lonely hearts

SHE SHOWED HER HEART
RIGHT FROM THE START
AND HER DANCING MADE ME CRAZY
A VODKA CRAN AND I WAS HER MAN
SHE'S MY I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
AND I DON'T BELONG
IF EVERYTHING'S A MAYBE
IF IT TAKES ALL NIGHT
TO MAKE IT RIGHT
SHE'S MY I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
AND HERE'S THE THING
WHEN TROUBLES BRING
FEELINGS THAT ARE HAZY
SHE'LL KISS MY MOUTH
IF I'M HEADED SOUTH
AND SAY, I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
WHEN I'M AGAINST A WALL
AND ABOUT TO FALL
IF LIFE GET'S KINDA SHADY
AND I LOSE MY SONG
EVEN WHEN I'M WRONG
SHE'S MY I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
THAT'S WHAT I DO
DON'T YOU WORRY WHEN I'M WITH YOU
AND IF YOU'RE EVER FEELING BLUE
I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
CAUSE I WANT YOU
I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
I GOT YOUR BACK BABY
THAT'S WHAT I DO
The sun says it's time for work.
Time to put on your reality face.
Hide your play face as best you can.
This is the difficult part.
The moon says it's O.K. to close your eyes.
I'll keep watch- I've got your back.
Rest easy -dream big- dear.
Don't wait for death, don't run from it either.
At the end, it'll be there for sure.
To jump your back and eat your last remaining star.
GOD GOT YOUR BACK HE LOVES YOU BACK---
God loves you back
No matter what you’ve done;
God loves you no matter what you’ve done in life;
He’s forgiven you, by allowing His Son, Jesus
To cry on the cross
To die on the cross
To save us sinners who’s lost………
God loves you back
No need to be worried, He’s cut the slack;
Your price for redemption, God has made a way;
By allowing Jesus to die for you, making it so that you’ve be saved;
He’s forgiven you, by allowing His Son, Jesus
To cry on the cross
To die on the cross
God got your back
God loves you back
So you may feel like you’re not on track;
Don’t you worry God’s got your back?
And He loves you back;

GOT YOUR BACK
Even though I stand before you I got your back!!!

by James Edward Lee Sr.
I've got your back you've got mine.
I'll be your light from a thousand miles.
I'll be your guild and shield from time to time,
from place to place, together we will shine.
You scratch my back, I scratch your back.
You tie my tie and I'll cook your pie.
Together we will go far,
together we will fly high.
I've got your back my friend,
we will be together like yock in the egg,
stick together like snail and its shell
even when we passing through hell.
Our sweet friendship never causes a pile,
because we tolerate each other's style ,
hence, we are both of the same class,
and together forever we shall stand.
Eye to eye, so alive,
back to back, near or far,
side to side even in the dark,
I will be that light that shines so bright till
death do us part.
where ever you go
this you should know
no matter if your near
or far
or in a bar
its a fact
i
GOT YOUR BACK
Who's Got Your Back?
fear and dread
are all over me tonight,
but my faith is stronger
and better against the attacks,
tears used to consume
and it wasn't at all alright...
now they're given no room
and the Lord's got my back
