(Intro) Yeah... Wonderin' why... But I ain't wonderin' no more... This is my story, watch it unfold... (Verse 1) I'm wonderin' why I ain't had a dad in my life To teach me wrong from right Made my own decisions, landed me in this position Now I'm on my knees, praying and wishin' That I could take it all back... Left me with a debt, a price to pay But it's a new dawn, a brand new day (Pre-Chorus) I gotta ask myself this... (Chorus) But if I took it all back and changed my ways Would it make me the man I am today? 'Cause I got somethin' in my life no one can take And that's my faith, it's for my own sake So to all of you people tryna hold me down I was destined to do somethin' great (great) (Verse 2) Had to learn it the hard way, no one showed the path Took the hits and absorbed the wrath Every lesson learned on my own, no map Felt like I was stuck inside a trap But that fire in my heart, it kept gettin' hotter Made me the man, a fighter, a warrior Used that pain as fuel to go faster Found my way out of that disaster... (Pre-Chorus) I gotta ask myself this... (Chorus) But if I took it all back and changed my ways Would it make me the man I am today? 'Cause I got somethin' in my life no one can take And that's my faith, it's for my own sake So to all of you people tryna hold me down I was destined to do somethin' great (great) (Verse 3) I'm on the grind every day, putting in the work Got a new vision, a purpose I've defined Every day I'm building, following a new design This ain't just a life, it's a permanent sign Of a different path, and a spirit that's free From the old version of what I used to be Got a new mind, a new way to see... The person that I am is the person I'm meant to be (Pre-Chorus) I gotta ask myself this... (Chorus) But if I took it all back and changed my ways Would it make me the man I am today? 'Cause I got somethin' in my life no one can take And that's my faith, it's for my own sake So to all of you people tryna hold me down I was destined to do somethin' great (great) (Verse 4) The future's comin' at me, movin' so fast Leaving the mistakes of my old life in the past Got a new foundation, it was built to last I'm the main character, not just a part of the cast Lookin' in the mirror, see a different man... This is the moment, this is the plan Every step is intentional, part of the climb I'm making up for all of that lost time (Pre-Chorus) I gotta ask myself this... (Chorus) But if I took it all back and changed my ways Would it make me the man I am today? 'Cause I got somethin' in my life no one can take And that's my faith, it's for my own sake So to all of you people tryna hold me down I was destined to do somethin' great (great) (Bridge) I keep telling myself to hold on and wait My future's gonna unfold like a piece of paper after passing a note This ain't waiting on luck, it's waiting on faith Every piece of this puzzle is fallin' into place I'm working in silence, I'm building my craft The whole world's on pause for my second act So to the rest of the world, you're on hold While I sculpt my life and let it mold (mold) (Verse 5) So many people said I'd never rise Said I was too far gone, couldn't get the prize But they're all gonna get a big surprise When I'm livin' proof right before their eyes That faith can change it all, turn the dark to light And help you win a battle with all of your might... There's no turning back, this is the last stand With a heart full of purpose, and faith in my hand (Pre-Chorus) I gotta ask myself this... (Chorus) And if I took it all back and changed my ways Would it make me the man I am today? 'Cause I got somethin' in my life no one can take And that's my faith, it's for my own sake So to all of you people tryna hold me down I was destined to do somethin' great (great) (Outro) Destined for somethin' great... Yeah... Gonna sculpt this life... Let it mold (mold) My time... It's my time now (my time)
