THE TYLER PERRY STORY
This story’s about Tyler Perry
He had a rough life, sometimes scary
But through all his challenges he held on to his faith
He knew he’d triumph by God’s Mercy and Grace.
The Power of God—Jehovah Almighty!
Tyler grew up poor, a normal boy in pants
One day he’d create characters like his Momma and aunts
He’d wear a body suit, put on a very big dress
When you hear more of this story, you’ll know the rest.
About Tyler Perry, a Momma’s Boy—with imagination!
Then one day, Tyler began writing stage plays
Told his Momma he’d take care of her the rest of her days,
He struggled long, worked hard, and kept a level head
He did everything for his Momma, just like he’d said.
For the rest of her days, he did! That Tyler Perry—a good son!
Hollywood wasn’t so kind to Tyler; they just didn’t like the man
They tried to discourage him, but he had many faithful fans
Hollywood wouldn’t give him a chance, they wouldn’t cut him any slack
But that didn’t stop Tyler Perry, ’cause his fans had his back.
The Chitlin’ Circuit, yes, and the folks in the hood!
Tyler started makin’ millions, then built his own Atlanta Studios
Named his five sound stages after mighty Black heroes
He even built a chapel to worship God on all days
And God has blessed him to keep writin’ more movies and plays.
That Tyler Perry, he’s a gifted writer, abundantly blessed—above all that he can ask or think!
Tyler’s made all kinds of new friends, most of them wealthy as can be
But he’s remained very humble, in spite of all his money
His movies have made number one, he’s even seen on TV
Not ’cause of all his new rich friends, but because of you and me.
His loyal fans, those that loved him, even when he didn’t have nothin’!
Yes, we love us some Madea, or simply Tyler as a normal man
We want the very best for him, so we do as much as we can
’Cause he helps so many other folks, he’s not selfish, that’s no lie
We’ll support Tyler Perry ’til the day we die.
Y’all can too now, ’cause he’s very funny! Faithful fans, y’all keep watchin’, ya hear?
Tyler Perry—he’s part of our family!
PS y’all. His story is still in the making!
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way.Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand. Psalm 37:23-24
A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will He condemn. Proverbs 12:2
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
