| Why did he have grace on my soul even though I left him out in the cold?
|
| But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
|
| He still give me life everyday even though I try to throw it away
|
| But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
|
| I wake up before I throw a beater on
|
| Fall to my knees thank the Lord for the new shalom
|
| Don’t turn my swag on, matter fact I turn it off
|
| My mission from the boss, to go and seek and save the lost
|
| Not like I’m doin', it the Spirit got me juiced up
|
| Performance enhancer, gon' throw it in my cup
|
| But like Barry Bonds, I don’t wanna tell nobody
|
| Then I remember what they did to my Savior’s body
|
| And I remember how that was s’posed to be me
|
| How I was never a G, just tryna soak up the scene
|
| While flodgin' off in these streets, I coulda been clapped wit heat
|
| Instead of me six feet, the Lord is given me peace
|
| So I never turn back, on fire like Napalm
|
| Ain’t a big enough platter for you to serve me cake on
|
| That mean I’d rather eat dirt than deny the name |
| I know I’m inconsistent, he still take away the pain
|
| You couldn’t tell me nothin', before and made
|
| Hard-headed young nappy boy, tryna get on
|
| Woulda sold my soul for a chance to be that dude
|
| Overdid everything, yes I was that fool
|
| Sat in church Sunday played games with the Lord too
|
| Opposite of Milton Bradley, man I had no 'Clue'
|
| Pride on the outside, dead on the inside
|
| Thought about suicide, the boy wanted to take his life
|
| Every treasure that I found turned to mud in my hand
|
| Women, notoriety, every dollar of the cash
|
| Awakened by the Spirit, put my faith in the Son
|
| Old things passed away, man I’m tryna get it done
|
| But I fall like, trip like
|
| Wanna stay down, but the Lord strengthen my faith
|
| Shoulda been dead Lord, I don’t wanna count the days
|
| Every time you give me grace, I don’t understand your ways
|
| Why did he have grace on my soul even though I left him out in the cold?
|
| But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
|
| He still give me life everyday even though I try to throw it away |
| But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down |
