Brandon, yuh yeah
Hey you may have doubt
I got this battle, this battle down with Him
I felt abandoned, but your hand keeps me planted
When you win the fight, there's growth on the other side
You gotta stay on course
Gotta show them your sword through these times of war
Ay, you ever fell off with your helmet off?
You let 'em inside your head
Man they try to lie and take your thoughts
Uh, it's a ghetto life with these yellow lights
Tellin' me slow down and be careful you could be the next tonight
Man, keep your Nikes on with your shoes tied
They did they best to make my mama get her tubes tied
Brine and rhyme, twin and wu, twin tower in me
God put his power in me, God didn't put no coward in me
Come pray for me, in the seed for hours with me
Wash away my worries 'til no doubt is in me
Yuh, tell 'em I relate to so much
After this man I'm back to dust, ... on my trust, huh
And I relate to the inmate, one waiting on his release date
Feel good when you're walking out free gates
And I relate to the church man, the one who was known as the worst man
But truth steps free from the curse
I got this battle, this battle down with Him
I felt abandoned, but your hand keeps me planted
When you win the fight, there's growth on the other side
You gotta stay on course
Gotta show them your sword through these times of war
Last days, hope you'll turn from your bad ways
Strength fight at the alter, now most of that is just man-made
I ain't worried about a vaccine
I could show you where the grass green
Get the Bible man, you read the scripture
Hope you get the picture like a flat screen
You ain't got the Holy Ghost, you ain't really got hope
Jesus popped and I ain't talking bread
The people tried to put him in the toaster
Uh, if you callin' Him, guarantee he'll get closer
Guarantee you'll get focused, 'cause he promised us that he'll show us
They don't like the way y'all look, they don't like the way y'all rap
They don't like the things I preach
They pleas say plea when I state these facts
Life tryna knock me down again
Satan wanna come around again
Got saved from the sin I'm drowning
Gotta give it to Heaven knowin' every time I'm in
You ain't gotta be the preacher type
But you do gotta teach the street what's right
Actin' like a gang of ...
I ain't want to live a evil life
You don't really know what freedom like
You don't really know what Jesus like
You don't really know what Kingdom like
'Cause savin' the day could be the night
I got this battle, this battle down with Him
I felt abandoned, but your hand keeps me planted
When you win the fight, there's growth on the other side
You gotta stay on course
Gotta show them your sword through these times of war
Yeah, yeah show them your sword through these times of war
Imagine you going into war and you not knowing how to fight
'Cause you don't know the promises
And things that God had for your life
When you wrong they will lead you, when you sleep they will keep you
When you awake they will speak with you
For the Commandment is a lamp, and the law is a light
And reproofing is structure and the way of life
And by the name of Jesus Christ
And as a real man sharpen your sword soldier
He says, "I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go
And I will guide you in my eye"
Times of war, my lord
