I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel with me
Shes here with me in spirit
Shes here in my corner where I'll never let you near it
And I know that you are watching me straight down from all the stars
My heart broke to pieces now I'm mending all the parts
I had to live my life like the beginning from the start
I was numb, now a man cause of all these fading scars
You and aunty gave me the greatest gift I could get
Food in my stomach
An a roof over my head
You didn't let me drop out
An you pushed me to go farther
You loved me unconditionally
Unlike my f-father
You put me on the path to success
Since day one
You were here for me when mom wasn't for her own son
You didn't have to do that
You didn't have to do that
But you went and did that
You sacrificed it all for me
You gave me the fighting chance I needed
You never gave up on me even when I felt defeated
You tried your best to keep me away from all the drama
In our family when the drugs possessed momma
I praise you on that day when you asked me
"Is the glass half full?"
I said It's half empty
But I want you to know
That I'm like a boat I may sink on a rainy day but on the sunny days I'll float
I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel with me
Shes here with me in spirit
Shes here in my corner where I'll never let you near it
And I know that you are watching me straight down from all the stars
My heart broke to pieces now I'm mending all the parts
I had to live my life like the beginning from the start
I was numb, now a man cause of all these fading scars
I thank you both for everything that you ever done
If you hadn't then aunty I wouldn't be here as your son
Rest In peace to grandma I hope to see you soon, but I need to make it as X-el the rapper 'fore I do
I know you're on my shoulder
Cause I can feel your presence
The days I wanna come over
You send me a mental message
You tell me to remain here right where I stand
This is it Alex put the Mic in X-els' Hand!
I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel with me
She's here with me in spirit
She's here in my corner where I'll never let you near it
And I know that you are watching me straight down from all the stars
My heart broke to pieces now I'm mending all the parts
I had to live my life like the beginning from the start
I was numb, now a man cause of all these fading scars
