Through the Fire, Still Chosen” [Intro – Soul Sample: scratchy gospel loop] 🎶 “He walks with me… through the fire…” 🎶 [You - Spoken Under Beat] Yeah. This ain’t for the saints who act like they never struggled. This for the ones who cried in the pews and prayed in the dark. [Verse 1 – “Raised in the Ruins”] Raised in the crib where the screams hit louder than hymns Grandma said, “Jesus saves,” while hell broke in Triedstone Sundays, pressed shirt, church ties But Monday to Saturday? Tears in my momma’s eyes Dad? Absent. School? Laughin’. Faith? Frail. But the Spirit kept tappin’ Eight years old — baptized with a broken hope I ain’t see heaven, just addiction and secondhand smoke I saw deacons with demons, heard saints talk slick They praised with their mouth but their heart was quick to flip So I watched, I peeped, I ain’t say nothin’ Just learned how to smile while my soul kept runnin’ [Hook – Choir-Driven with Heavy Drums] 🎶 Through the fire, still chosen Pain don’t stop what God’s spoken Broken home, still I’m hopin’ Devil had a grip but He broke it 🎶 (You) They tried to write me off, said the boy was done But God ain’t finished — I’m still breathin’, son [Verse 2 – “False Light”] High school came, found a “church with vibe” Multicultural stage, I felt seen, felt alive Got baptized again, thought I knew better But they twisted the Word like a debt collector Told me we the only ones — no grace, just guilt They smiled in the pulpit while our conscience got milked I ain’t read much — I was ashamed to admit The Word was locked up, I felt spiritually unfit Fell in college, mad at God for the fraud But God ain’t fake — it was men playin’ God So I walked, heart numb, but He whispered still Said, “Son, you’re mine, not theirs — I paid the bill” [Hook – Choir Bigger, Beat Drops Harder] 🎶 Through the fire, still chosen Pain don’t stop what God’s spoken Broken home, still I’m hopin’ Devil had a grip but He broke it 🎶 (You) They tried to write me off, said the boy was done But God ain’t finished — I’m still breathin’, son [Bridge – “From Scarred to Shepherd” – Spoken like Kanye in “Last Call”] Now I’m a husband, a father, a leader of men Built from the ruins I was left in I couldn’t read His Word, now I preach it Used to be ashamed of my story — now I teach it My kids love Jesus not ‘cause I forced it But ‘cause they saw me go from broken to anointed I lead my wife in the Word like a real man do Used to feel useless… now I’m living proof [Final Hook – Choir, Soul Sample + You Ad-Libbing] 🎶 Through the fire, still chosen Pain don’t stop what God’s spoken Broken home, still I’m hopin’ Devil had a grip but He broke it 🎶 (You) Yeah — He broke it Tried to chain me to shame, but the King rewrote it Now I spit what’s true, no gimmicks, no show Just scars and scripture — now watch me glow [Outro – Spoken] I ain’t here ‘cause I was strong. I’m here ‘cause He was. And if He can use me—He can use anybody.
