My Story Lyrics
Soi was sitting on the toilet right
& I was just thinking likewhere
I really came from
And how I got here man i came a long way
Now it all started with a conversation
& my ex girl she told me that I was free
To go & find my next girl
She had found another man
Told me his name was Jesus
Said that he was Michael Jackson bad
& I would have to beat it so we split
I met God tho & boy was that a blessing
Went from havin it, to lacking it
Just label it some pressure
I was homeless, I was getting sleep
On benches at the college
I was in, but all I
Had, was enough money for, the knowledge
But I made it
Had a lady & some babies from her
I used to pray for better days
Cause I wasn't hav-in enough
I used to slang CDs at Kroger
Just to buy us some grub
But life wasn't life-ing
I just felt like God had made me for more
I done cried about it, I can't lie about it
Ain't gone die about it
Had to rise up out it
I can't hide I had to fight surroundings
Want a better life
I had to pray to change my mind about it
Noticed things would change when faith &
Action caught a straight aligning
Verse 2: Project Pat
Thank the lord that Im still alive
Look at where he brought me
Still on the earth
In the trenches blood bought me
Back in God's family
Movin like a soldier now
In this world he gone hold u down
Round for roundhomey still in
It pound for pound but I pray
That they cometo the knowledge of the truth
Every day, on these beats
I spit knowledge in the booth
Street college Im the truth, I done graduated
I got Christ in my life, oooh
I done elevated
Penetrated to the ears of the
Killers and the goons
Im talking bout the ones off
The pills and the shrooms
You can live yo life better now
Gucci sweater now
God's life will lift you up
That other bring you down
I was down bad
& God told me come & take a walk wit em
Start talking to me, put on big game
Now it's up, told God, it's stuck wit me
I done lost every thing I love twice
U don't win big without a sacrifice
I was ready to call this whole life quit's
Then I seen purpose in the hard times
See if God got me, then God got me
Nothing happen to me, it was all for me
Had to quit looking for a fair chance
Gotta Stand up in it, took a chair stance
Came a long way, tryna walk Godly
Every body used to be a somebody
I was on what I was on
But all that changed, when ol girl called!
(& I gotta) keep the main thing
As the main thing
Cause the same thing, with a name change
Can make the main thing look lame lame
& the best heart, start to change lanes
See the best teacher be the pain pain
If it hit u right, Issa gain pain
But don't work in reverse
Sort of a death thing, like a bee sting
Got a 6th sense, so I see things
Like a big table wit a seat change
& the slave owner to the big chains
I be timing talking, never be tame
I was made solid, in my DNA
Got direction, purpose, & a great name
And a big bark, & a big frame & a big bite
Like a Great Dane got more game than a xbox
Woulda thought a fella was a play station
Freely give, but my buttons hard to find
God made it so I wasn't user friendly
Keep my circle square, to avoid hating
Ain't no better way to see
The triangle execution easy
But u need patience, it's the timing really
Gotta keep pacing
