[Intro]
[Verse 1: RG]
Grew up in the church, that don't mean I'm saved
Carrying my cross, I die every day
People see me, how I'm living -all they do is hate
But I don't believe religion, I believe in grace
I'm not perfect and I know it but my Lord is good
And I'm trusting in His mercy that I'll make it through
Constantly remind myself that it's all for my good
Battle scars on my arms, all I got is wounds
But I say, "Praise the Lord."
Life is good when you know the battle's not your own
Nothing special, I'm just reaping what I've sown
And I'm walking with a lion, can you hear him roar?
Aye, you know we live forever, so we've never been afraid to die
Got a lot of issues but we're learning to depend on Christ
Started from the bottom now we're here, man I ain't scared of heights
Afterglow music group, we're shining like them city lights
[Hook: Vito Vasquez] [2x]
City lights, we're shining like them
City lights, we're feeling like them
City lights, we're burning like them
City lights, city lights, all about the city life
[Verse 2: Vito Vasquez]
Standing at the top of the empire state
Everybody's hating but I'm feeling great
Get up out my way, I've got souls to save
And I can't just write a song, I've got too much to say
V-Squared, this is my reality
I stay reaping, yeah, that Afterglow mentality
With a city of supporters that's coming right behind me
I don't call them my fans, I call them my family
This has been brewing up inside of me
Talent meant purpose, now welcome to our dynasty
City on a hill, you really can't stop us
Nothing formed against me or my team shall prosper
Team V-Squared, team Afterglow
Everybody knows that we've been shining bro
No secrets, this' our public life
Afterglow music group, we're shining like them city lights
[Hook] [2x]
