(Intro) Ight so... I got haters out there like... bro that's AI... Why you tryna lie...! (Verse 1) First off you don't know me, a singer or rapper... nothing I ever claimed to be... Just a poet, and wouldn't you know it, music is just something that's in me. Started as a youngin writing things of nightmares you couldn't dream. (Chorus) If you don't like what I got to say then don't play that's all I can say, like yea I write about the Lord and all his glory, cause this is my story. Like you don't know me so... Here you go... (Pre-Chorus 1) See, the road I walked was twisted and turned, lessons learned the hard way, and bridges I burned. (Verse 2) Started when I was just a teen, scarred up and heartache from what I couldn't see. Always on the move, a transient scene, packin' bags, leavin' every memory. New schools, new faces, a constant blur, just searchin' for roots, Left home too young, barely on the clock, made dumb choices, hit a solid rock. Out on my own, no map, no guide, a lost kid trapped.., then zap... (Pre-Chorus 2) Yeah, the darkness crept in, tried to take its hold, a story I've, bravely told. (Verse 3) The streets a brutal teacher, cold and dark, whispers in the shadows, where hope grew dim. Addiction's grip, a slippery slope, chasin' that high, losin' all my hope, chasing dope. Tried to numb the pain, but it only swelled, a broken spirit, caught in a living hell. Every hit a deeper scar, wonderin' if I'd ever get far. Trapped in the cycle, day by day, just prayin' for a different way. (Pre-Chorus 3) But even in the shadows, a light can break through, a change in the heart, something new and true, (Verse 4) Then one day, a whisper in the night, a tiny flicker, a guiding light. Until one day, I wandered, into something wonderful, I realized. Gettin' clean, somethin' I mean, like man, breakin' free, clawin' my way back into the light. Felt that spirit risin' up from the dust, puttin' my truth in God's trust from a broken youth. (Pre-Chorus 4) Now the fight's for redemption, a battle I embrace, to mend what was broken, and find my rightful place. (Verse 5) I lost my boys due to my drug addiction, now I'm fighting like hell to get them back. No longer stuck in that old-school fear. All broke and fallen, I used to dwell, now, new memories, I can tell. Of the rise to come, still young and full of life, these memories, filled with less strife. Every breath a testament, every step earned, lessons on lessons, finally learned. (Bridge) Through every struggle, through every fall, God's grace embraced me, answered my call. He lifted me up, from the deepest despair, showed me a love, beyond compare. A new beginning, a spirit reborn, saved from the darkness, saved from the storm. No more runnin', no more lies, just open arms and wide-open skies. He took my broken pieces, made me whole, resurrected my lost and empty soul. (Chorus) If you don't like what I got to say then don't play that's all I can say, like yea I write about the Lord and all his glory, cause this is my story. (Outro) Yeah, this is my story, still writing every line, From the struggle and the sorrow, to the future that will shine. Fighting for my boys, with all the strength I got inside, This ain't just a song, it's where my spirit will reside. So remember what I told ya, when you hear this track play, God's got a plan, even through the darkest day.
