Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong Or I'd come so far I'd even have this song But I'm here And I know it's only by Your grace Never thought I'd take the vow to be named Your child Or I'd walk this out enough to make you proud But I'm here And I know it's only by Your grace Yeah The wages of sin is destruction But your gift is eternal life We craving for sin when we busting And then going in on this murder hype Serving the burna flight Churn it right Fresh off of the burner the burger white We emerge from the dirt like a worm at night And these vermin is terminal for the strife Raised in the craziness of the 80s From the era of bangin' and crack babies The murderous men from the city of Sac Laced me and praised me for living like a atheist Yeah I slept in the suburbs but hung in the ghetto Was ready to bust so I would run with the metal The ride never brakes it doesn't come with a pedal Had a problem with faith so I was one with the devil Never did I really envision that You would listen to my prayers And my life would change Yeah You pulled me out of jail then you put me outta hell I really wasn't ready for nothing quite this strange I'm from where you get gone if you violate And the grave is the only known quiet place Only You know the moments that I have faced That's why I say it only was by Your grace Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong Or I'd come so far I'd even have this song But I'm here And it's only by Your grace Never thought I'd take the vow to be named Your child Or I'd walk this out enough to make you proud But I'm here And I know it's only by Your grace I was a PK with like 3 K's saving my money for a Mack 10 On the TV for like 3 days seeing 3 K's k**in' black men And I felt nothing That's real hate Put the fork in you for that grill plate I took God's wrath on a real date And blew candles out for that real cake And that's real fate Raised in the era where they know Gotti Gauge shells in that damned ground we plant d**h it ain't grow shotties Devil told me I was squared up Cuz I blamed that and caught no body Big Sev told me you a real one cuz you the only one that caught no bodies That's real talk there Love reigns and that's a real walk there Christ up til my life up and that's real salt there Righteous til my mic up and let's be clear You showed grace cuz I know I shouldn't be here Be here Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong Or I'd come so far I'd even have this song But I'm here And it's only by Your grace Never thought I'd take the vow to be named Your child Or I'd walk this out enough to make you proud But I'm here And I know it's only by Your grace I never thought I'd come this far Take the vow Named Your child Make You proud I know it's only by Your grace
