Proverbs 24:16... The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked... (Intro) Yeah... down in the dark again... Got the 808 thuddin' like a heartbeat in a panic... Gotta rise... gotta rise... (Verse 1) Yeah, the block was hot, the streets called my name, Chasin' quick cash, addicted to the game. Every night a new thrill, no future, no past, Thought the good times would roll, forever gonna last. Sex, drugs, and the paper, that was my trinity, Ignorin' the warnings, livin' for eternity. In a moment of madness, a temporary high, Had my vision so blurred, couldn't see the real sky. A dollar in my pocket, grindin' for the next stack, Used to tell myself, Yeah, ain't no turnin' back. Just escapin' the feelin', avoidin' the pain, Caught in a cycle, goin' down the drain. Never saw the illusion, the trick of the light, Just the dark satisfaction, day and through the night. (Chorus) Oh, yeah, used to be gassed up, sex, drugs, money, thought with those three I was free! Thought that was the best life for me! Then it all flipped, lost my family, lost everything! Felt like nothing would change, then I Hit my knees, cried out, God, please! Please! I need you to change me! Rearrange me! (Post-Chorus) [Beat drops out to a low, ominous bass drone and raw kick drum] Now I see it clearly, I just needed the Three to set me free: The Father..., always there, The Son..., He died for me, so I can be sin free, And the Holy Spirit..., yeah, that lives inside of me! (Verse 2) Woke up in the wreckage, ain't no fakin' the fall, Lost everythin' precious, answered nobody's call. Stuck in that dark place, a self-made hell. The silence was deafenin'... Just the raw truth starin' back from the inside. Thought it was over, my destiny sealed, Then a small voice whispered, somethin' had to yield. A different direction, a break in the clouds, Pulled myself from the whispers of the desperate crowds. From the depths of the despair, to the light I sought, This new path emerged, a battle hard-fought. No more lookin' backward, just settin' my pace, With a newfound purpose, runnin' my own race. (Chorus) Oh, yeah, used to be gassed up, sex, drugs, money, thought with those three I was free! Thought that was the best life for me! Then it all flipped, lost my family, lost everything! Felt like nothing would change, then I Hit my knees, cried out, God, please! Please! I need you to change me! Rearrange me! (Post-Chorus) Now I see it clearly, I just needed the Three to set me free: The Father..., always there, The Son..., He died for me, so I can be sin free, And the Holy Spirit..., yeah, that lives inside of me! (Verse 3) Now I'm standin' in the fire, every day is a test, Scars run deep, ain't no time for rest. Demons still pullin', tryin' drag me back down, Fightin' through the mud just to keep my feet on ground. It's a dogfight daily, flesh vs the spirit, Whispers in the dark, but I refuse to hear it. Shed tears, bled blood, paid a heavy price, Ain't no golden ticket, this is real sacrifice. Walkin' through the storm with my teeth grit tight, Every single breath is a brutal fistfight. The devil want my soul, but I'm locked in the war, Clawin' through the wreckage, reachin' for the Lord. (Chorus) Oh, yeah, used to be gassed up, sex, drugs, money, thought with those three I was free! Thought that was the best life for me! Then it all flipped, lost my family, lost everything! Felt like nothing would change, then I Hit my knees, cried out, God, please! Please! I need you to change me! Rearrange me! (Post-Chorus) Now I see it clearly, I just needed the Three to set me free: The Father..., always there, The Son..., He died for me, so I can be sin free, And the Holy Spirit..., yeah, that lives inside of me!
