[Chorus] Through the struggle He got me through, yo Through the hustle Made my dreams true, yo Through the pain He eased the strain Now I'm singin' His name Ain't nothin' the same [Verse 1] Used to roam these streets, a shadow Empty belly, no tomorrow Mama prayin', tears she cried I was blind, pride aside No pot to piss in, no window to throw it out Lost souls all around, full of doubt [Prechorus] Then I looked up, saw a light Breakin' through the darkest night [Chorus] Through the struggle He got me through, yo Through the hustle Made my dreams true, yo Through the pain He eased the strain Now I'm singin' His name Ain't nothin' the same [Verse 2] Yeah, uh, used to slang, not hymns Now I sing, redeem From project hallways, dark and grim Now chandeliers, feelin' trim Blessings rainin', a storm of grace Washin' away my disgrace [Bridge] (Female vocals) He lifted me up, out of the mire Set my feet on solid ground Gave me a song, filled with fire Turned my whole world around
