I risk-take
And I still don't miss mate
Became a rubble baby when life done blitzkrieg
I don't have the answer for every problem in life
An inspired mind is one cuz that's how we find ways
To fix the problems of our youth
Let's get right down to the roots
We can't go on platforms and not speak the truth
We don't wanna hang but the system tied our noose
Black-on-black crime is the biggest lie that's told by the news
Same school of life but different classes
We're all different so no need to run the race the fastest
God gave me a vision man there ain't no need for glasses
I work a nine to five, care for mumzy, and still find time to be an artist
You can't tell me about grafting
For years I couldn't eat you could say I spent those years fasting
And now it's peak
I ain't even at my peak when I sleep I have dreams of performing every week
Man it's deep
Okay you rap man
I talked bro out of revenge when he got stabbed man
Why do we always stab man
Talking is seen as weak and wrong actions get applause
Funny how that gassing is why he's on the floor, lifeless
He ain't breathing and another yutes doing life
We need to free our minds a caged bird won't fly even if it's free
I look at my marjay with glee like
Like I do this for you and me
Cuz I think we came a long way
I remember when there weren't any food on my plate
Had to split a meal for two like four different ways
Praying asking when's it gonna change
Praying for those sunny days
Man I'm tired of the rain
Man I'm tired of this pain
Gave my all till there weren't any blood in my veins
To my fam I donate and our burdens rotate
Came from the ground I'm grounded, it ain't where i wanna stay
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
And when I feel alone Lord I know you're always
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
And when life gets rough God I know you're always
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
'Cuz you stayed by my side so I know you're always
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
I tried so hard
It almost killed me
So I rested
And you restored me
Your Grace came
And it adorned me
We had nothing
Whipping up corned beef
What I'm living now is thoughts that have once been
Because of what He did yeah I'm steady living free
Because of Jesus, I went from pauper to king
Now I know the bad times are much shorter than they seem
Look, I stay beating the odds
The only constant in my life has been God
And that's why I built my house on the rock
The one who stayed by my side even when I fell off
The one whose name I hold high regardless of what it costs
Man this ain't lip service
The way I write these verses I can really flip sermons
Me and the team we been working
Man that's family
Francetta I hope that you're proud of me
A note to self I write these thoughts down so maniacally
Yeah, I hope she's proud of me
I kept on walking seeing through what He's got planned for me
In a better place looking from the canopy
I'm with my team my close circle they ain't doubting me
Yeah, even though it gets hard
Life taught me to always stay on guard
Didn't know if I would heal or fall off
But I find my assurance when I look up at the stars I know He's
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
When I feel alone Lord I know you're always
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
And when life gets rough God I know you're always
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
'Cuz you stayed by my side so I know you're always
Holding Holding Holding Holding me down
And I know that you'll never leave, yeah
