thenLet me do everything on this Earth that I was created to doHelp me change lives, like you changed mindsLike you changed mines, how could I forget?How you made a millionaire out of 15 centWhen a dollar and a dream wasn't always what it seemSometime I couldn't see, but I still believedAnd then you made it real, you gave me everything I needAnd all I had to have was a faith of a mustard seedVerse 5So the point of this album is to have faithNo matter what field of work you inNo matter what you doin' in lifeHave faith in it, and believe in it, at all timesAnd especially having God in your life firstBecause in a world full of the Devil doing God knows whatAs long as you keep God first, you'll be alrightI've always had the ultimate confidenceI've always believed in myselfAnd I always try to be the best I can beIt was instilled in me as a kidVerse 6When I was making this album, manI went through three different titlesAnd about a hundred different emotionsAnd I just remember a conversation I had with NeilWhen he was doing "Perfect Team"Said, "Man you should name your album, 'Faith of a Mustard Seed'"At that very moment, I didn't know exactly what he meant by itBut I knew it was something out the BibleWhen I went and I did my research on what "Faith of a Mustard Seed" meantIt says that "with a faith of a mustard seed, God will allow you to move mountains"And I feel like where I come from, I moved just about every mountain that was in my wayAnd still movin' em, with the faith of GodVerse 7: Mustard's & MomYou know when I was young, you know, when I say: "First giving honor to God"To Ms. Carol who had first brought me and my Mom'sYou know that was like, that's a real thingYou know how I moved from The Jungles, to West LAAnd I met this lady named Carol, her son was a drummer at the churchAnd I remember one day I seen her going to church, she was like"You wanna go to church with me?" And I'm like "Yeah", and I wentYou know I really went because I really wanted to be the drummerBut Jermaine was always the drummer, So I never became the drummer, or whateverBut I, uhm, I went, and I became a member of Believers Community Baptist ChurchAnd after I went a few times, and I became a real member of the ChurchI got baptizedAnd I think after that I told my momWhere I-, guess, my mom was at the baptize ceremonyBut I asked my mom, "Mom, you wanna go to church?"And she was like "Yeah I'd go"You know my mom never stopped going to church, even when I stoppedYou know soI guess that was like a sign from GodAnd it also brought me and my mom closerYou know she lived by[?] you know I'm prayin' for you (You know I'm praying for you always)And I don't know, you know, my mom probably gonna be mad at meBut she used to be real bad at like cussin' us out, me and my sisters would hear her start cussin' like "Get yo' ass in the house" (Get yo' ass in the house)You know that type of thingBut uh, you know, once she, once sh- she went to church, it kinda like changed her for the betterYou know and it, uhh, softened her up a lil' bitAnd I never told her that but uhI think that was the best thing that ever happened to me and herYou know cause it was me and her, my sister moved to Atlanta with her husband and stuffAnd had her own familyRecently just moved em' back here to be closer to us, butYou know, uhm, not to make it about that butFor the most part, man I just wanted everybody out there, you knowYou been watchin' me this whole timeStudying my career, and you watched my whole journeyYou've seen me grow, you've seen who I am, you've seen who I'd becomeYou've seen how I mean to my kids, cause I ain't have a fatherI had my uncle, but he taught me how to be a fatherAnd uhh, I always admired that about him, that he took me in like I was his son that he never had cause he only got daughtersBut uhm, it made me be the best father that I could be, and know that, you knowNot to never take that for granted, cause all you got is timeAnd you can't get time backUhm, but to the fans, you know, the little kids, the little producers in the hoodThat look at me and, look at it like it's too farIt's really not, I came exactly from where you come fromAnd anything is possible when you're with the faithAnd hard work gonna always be talent, everytimeSo I want you to understand, you knowYou can put anything you put your mind to"Faith of a Mustard Seed" is a testimony of me, just, you know, growing and bein'Who I knew I always could be, and who I was always gonna try to beNo matter what, nobody could've gotten in the way of me being who I amAnd to show you that nobody can get in the way of youUntil next timeOutroAnd oh yeah, if you ever in doubt of when I'm thinking about youJust know I'm praying for youSo you should pray for me tooInstrumental Outro Back to: Videos Clips
