Everything I was faced with, from a place I was never supposed to make it
Not rich born poor black and naked, had to get it from the mud started from the basement
Every night the K's spit, funeral arrangements grew up with some killas never viewed them as dangerous
In the hood niggas die for the basics, steady in the streets like they caught up in the matrix
And I know that the Lord brought me out yeah, said I know that the Lord brought me out yeah
Yeah I know that I know that I know that I know that the Lord brought me out YEAH
And I'ma stay on my grind time to get it now, that weapon didn't prosper did it now
They threw a little shot but it hit the ground, let me know how it feels when it comes around
I just try to spread light when I come around, die empty and that's what it been about
What it been about, to give my all and leave it all on the field till the death angel come around
And I can say Lord I did Your will, and He can say well done that's how I feel
So I ain't goin stress out about these bills, cause in 30 plus years ain't miss no meals
Deny my God y'all can keep those mills, dance with the devil I don't make those deals
Keep running when I face those hills, told success boy I'm on yo heels
And I don't know if this might be my last day
But if it is I'll just lift my hands and
What you do when the love fade, when a knife in your back in the worst way
And you contemplate murder but it don't pay, and you been sending prayers but it don't shake
When you say see you later but you never see them later cause you said see you later on the day before they last day
Still broke no cash came, and you can't put a dollar in the gas tank
Some fall back, some fall out, some start throwing stones from a glass house
But I'ma cry out, in my God's house, cause it's all in His hand till I cash out
Trouble comes and it's so hard to keep on standing strong
I get up but I'm just leaning on my daddy's arm
Another day this life is tryna take my joy away
But I won't give it to em, no you can't take mine OK
My head high to the blue sky, won't hold me down cause I'm too fly
When they see what He do what He did what He done what He does they'll all say ooh my
