(Intro) "Yeah. They look at the man standin' right here... They see the shine, the fight. They don't see the hole they dug... The one they tried to leave me in. But see, they didn't know one thing about that dirt... it just made me grow faster." (Verse 1) I used to walk the backroads, head hangin' low, couldn't find my stride, I was movin' too slow. (Nah) The world threw stones at the windows of my soul... left me out cold in a ditch where the weeds grow. Had a broken heart and a debt I couldn't pay, watched the darkness steal the light from my day. Friends turned snake when the sun went away... left me stranded in the fire just to watch me decay. Yeah, I took the hits, man, I ain't even flinch, every cheap shot left a memory, every single clinch. But the dirt they piled up, it settled in my roots, now I'm pushin' up sunshine, bearin' different fruits! (Yeah!) (Pre-Chorus) They tried to bury me, ain't know I was a seed (nah), Every setback was a setup, planted for the thing I need. You gotta break down the soil before the harvest can feed... You think this battle was for nothing? Believe in the deed! (Chorus) God never wastes a hurt, Na He makes em work, (He works) So lift your head high, forget what was cursed. I came from the bottom, ain't worried 'bout the worst, 'Cause I move different now, yeah I put God first. (Verse 2) They wanna know the formula, they askin' how I flip it, from broke and low life to livin' legit. (How I did it) It wasn't luck, partner, it was a pure belief switch... had to clean out the clutter, every bad habit, every glitch. I remember the sorrow, the shame, and the fall, used to sit in the quiet and think I lost it all. (Lost it all) Now I answer to a higher purpose when I'm standin' tall, I picked up the pieces, answered the ultimate call. No more lookin' back, man, that chapter is done, my new legacy's stronger than the risin' sun. Gonna walk the right road, where the victory's won... from the mud to the mountaintop, my time has begun! (Pre-Chorus) They tried to bury me, ain't know I was a seed (nah), Every setback was a setup, planted for the thing I need. You gotta break down the soil before the harvest can feed, You think this battle was for nothing? Believe in the deed! (Chorus) God never wastes a hurt, na He makes em work, So lift your head high, forget what was cursed. (Forget it) I came from the bottom, ain't worried 'bout the worst, 'Cause I move different now, yeah I put God first. (Verse 3) I shed the heavy past like a snake sheds skin, the battle was outside, but the war was within. (War was in) I cleaned up the wreckage, where the darkness moved in... felt the strength of the Father wash away the old sin. The world keeps turnin', but my vision is locked, on the high road I'm walkin', ain't no need for a clock. Every step is deliberate, solid as a rock... nothin' they can say that's gonna make my faith stop. (Nah) So let 'em watch me work, let 'em look in surprise, the glory on the ground when the broken man flies. I found my true north when I looked to the skies, and the light of redemption is shinin' in my eyes. (Shinin') (Bridge) This ain't no soft prayer... this is the war cry! (War cry!) Every ghost they sent me, I left 'em all dry. I took the heat, forged my will in the flame, You see the strength now? Go ahead, speak the name! I spit on the doubt that tried to take my life, I walked through the struggle and I claimed the light. (Claimed it!) This new ground I'm standin' on, I fought to possess, I trade every tear-stain for pure blessed success! (Success!) (Chorus) God never wastes a hurt, na He makes em work, (Forget it) So lift your head high, forget what was cursed. I came from the bottom, ain't worried 'bout the worst, 'Cause I move different now, yeah I put God first. God never wastes a hurt, na He makes em work, So lift your head high, forget what was cursed. I came from the bottom, ain't worried 'bout the worst, 'Cause I move different now, yeah I put God first. (Outro) "Yeah... New life. Clean hands... God first."
