[Intro] [Bass Intro] (Yeah...) (Every neighborhood got 'em...) (The ones that made it back...) [Verse 1 | Deep Baritone Male Voice #1 | RAP] Walk through them gym doors... You'll see 'em every day Coffee in one hand... Kids runnin' every way They ain't loud about it Never brag, never boast Just some neighborhood legends Most folks never noticed You know 'em as Coach Mike Mr. Leon... Ray... Marcus... Curt... You see who they are now... Lemme tell you who they became... [Hook | Tenor Rapper Male Voice #2 | Sung] From turf... To truth~ God wrote... Somethin' new~ What grace... Can really do~ From turf... To truth~ [Verse 2 | Deep Baritone Male Voice #1 | RAP] Big Mike grew up fast Started bangin' at twelve Thought protection came from numbers Till life became a prison itself Found a trade... Built a family... Built a business... Built a name Now he's coachin' little boys Hopin' they don't play the same game Leon chased respect Thought fear made a man Now every kid that rides his bus Knows he's got a helpin' hand Ray followed everybody else Didn't wanna stand alone Now he's teachin' kids a trade Helpin' build a future of their own Marcus wanted fast money Thought shortcuts made you rich Now he's hirin' neighborhood kids Teachin' honest work instead of tricks Curt almost lost everything Grace found him anyway Now he feeds the neighborhood And starts each mornin' with a prayer [Hook | Tenor Rapper Male Voice #2 | Sung] From turf... To truth~ God wrote... Somethin' new~ What grace... Can really do~ From turf... To truth~ [Verse 3 | Deep Baritone Male Voice #1 | RAP] They don't wear old colors Only work shirts now Don't chase old reputations They just show up somehow Unlock the gym every afternoon Sweep the floor before the game Every kid that walks inside... They already know their name They'll tell you... "We ain't special..." "We just found another road..." "If God could change five stubborn fools..." He can carry any load [Hook | Tenor Rapper Male Voice #2 | Sung] From turf... To truth~ He'll do... The same for you~ One life... Becomes a few~ From turf... To truth~ (Yeah...) (It didn't stop with us...)
