[Intro]
Open eyes, apply the mind
Look at the life that He provides
Which of your Lord's favors can you deny?
[Hook x 2]
When I feel I'm bout to drown
I got God for that
When the devil bring me down
I got God for that
I was lost but now I'm found
I thank God for that
Only way to feel is proud
Cuz God got my back
[Verse 1]
I was down and feeling backwards
My heart, was slowly captured
By a ba*tard named the devil till I read these 30 chapters
Started to feel a little light shine it was like my pa**word
To this puzzle called life devoted time up to the Master
It, freed me from my chains, gave me faith it's not the end
Patience paper thin, was sick of caving in and being a slave to sin
Opened up my eyes, I had a spiritual awakening
And realized that all this life is only, play pretend
I could breathe again; I breathed it in, all his oxygen
Was looking for a place of truth my momma said the mosque is it
Devil so provocative, but have a new prerogative
I never give up when I sin I just I repent and try again
A conscience revolution, making music for a movement
And I'm only just a student slowly working on improvement
Anytime I feel I'm losing, I think who the hell am I fooling?
So many choices in this life but every time I'd only choose Him
[Hook x 2]
When I feel I'm bout to drown
I got God for that
When the devil bring me down
I got God for that
I was lost but now I'm found
I thank God for that
Only way to feel is proud
Cuz God got my back
[Verse 2]
I hope my faith and intentions
Are what He's expecting
I've been venting expressions
With hopes of getting the message
Before I start my descension
In the grave that I'm sent in
I only pray to reach heaven
With all my fam and my brethren
He brought me out from depression
His name is my weapon
Against the devils ways I give my praise to strike with a vengeance
The, fuel to my engine
The, cure to aggression
And when I'm guessing at questions I make Wudu and confessions
Blessed, the best of connections
Through a different dimension
Yes, His grace is perfection
Yes, His ways are my lessons
Against all hate and deception
And temptations that threaten
My entrance, so I just stay patient, and, await on my sentence
Singing, Lord, fo you take my soul
Forgive me for my wrongs and the things I don't
Know how to control please make me whole
I got nothing but love, so please bring me home
[Hook x 3]
When I feel I'm bout to drown
I got God for that
When the devil bring me down
I got God for that
I was lost but now I'm found
I thank God for that
Only way to feel is proud
Cuz God got my back
