Prayed Me Through by DMAC

[Intro – soft choir hum, distant sirens] (choir: ohhh… ohhh…) Yeah… They counted me out… But God had a different plan… [Hook – soulful, gospel feel] I done been through the fire, yeah it made me who I am Had to pray through the pain, had to trust it in His hands They ain’t see them nights I was cryin’ where I stand Now I walk like a king, ‘cause He showed me who I am I was lost in the dark, tryna find me a way Now His light on my path, I ain’t driftin’ away Yeah I fell, I got scars, but I’m still here today I’m a product of grace, I got somethin’ to say [Verse 1 – storytelling, vivid] I remember cold nights, mama stressin’, lights off Eviction on the door, we was prayin’ it’d get lost I was young, seen pain, had me feelin’ so lost Tryna be a man early, had to carry that cross Homies in the streets, some gone, some locked We was chasin’ fast money, never think ‘bout the cost I was one bad move from a name on a rock But God pulled me back right before I got caught I ain’t perfect, I done sinned, I done fell a few times Had to look inside myself, had to realign Devil whisperin’ lies, had me losin’ my mind But I heard God’s voice say, “You still mine” [Pre-Chorus – choir builds] I was down, I was broken, I was losin’ control Tryna fill all them voids, had a hole in my soul But He picked me up when I was lettin’ it go Now I’m walkin’ in purpose, yeah, He made me whole [Hook – bigger, choir layered] I done been through the fire, yeah it made me who I am Had to pray through the pain, had to trust it in His hands They ain’t see them nights I was cryin’ where I stand Now I walk like a king, ‘cause He showed me who I am [Verse 2 – gritty, stronger delivery] I done seen real hate, disguised as love Had to cut ‘em off, had to rise above They ain’t clap when I was down, now they proud of us But they don’t know the nights I was cryin’ to God above I was fightin’ demons, couldn’t sleep at night Heart full of anger, I ain’t see no light Almost gave up on myself, I ain’t think I’d fight But He gave me strength, told me “Stand up, fight” Now I move with faith, I don’t move with fear Everything I lost brought my vision clear If you ever felt pain, you gon’ feel this here This for everybody tryna make it outta here [Bridge – choir heavy, emotional peak] (choir: He saved me… He changed me…) Yeah… They don’t know what it took just to stand right here All them tears turned blessings through the years If you feel what I feel, let me make it clear— You can make it out, you just gotta persevere [Final Hook – anthem, powerful] I done been through the fire, yeah it made me who I am Had to pray through the pain, had to trust it in His hands Now I stand ten toes, I ain’t fold, I ain’t ran I’m a testimony livin’, yeah, that’s part of the plan
