Sin - Whole Story lyrics

[Curtis Mayfield Sample] [Verse 1 D'Vhyne] In the face of the fire, in the cave with the lions Yes in the face of Goliath, i overcame and i triumphed The locust came to devour, but God endowed me with boldness I was like John the baptist and I devoured the locusts From Judas to persecutors, jurors to prosecutors They screaming Law in my face but by Grace i jus Hallelujah Im tuning out all the rumors, they ridiculing for humor A little thorn in my flesh but it could've grew to a tumor Im grateful yes im so thankful My life could be worse but its beyond what i prayed for I can't murmur, one word concerning my circumstances Had to let go of my childhood yearnings for perfect parents I know some people without teeth and they still smiling My Nana can't dress herself but she still styling My boy got all them yrs and he still talking bout grace My cousin in a wheelchair but he still walking by faith So I strive and keep putting in time and keep pushing these rhymes-- Is solemnly from the heart of me And if i dont get it off my chest it'll probably clog up my arteries But pardon me, i did time for an armed robbery 3 to 5 years they offered me, plea bargaining I end up doin three and a half years Speaking of that situation thats the only reason that Chaz is The man that he is today, history in the making Making progress its a process not about to get complacent Nah.. and im not about to sit here waiting Im too innovative, Hip Hop needs renovation I labored like Jacob for Rachel but Laban played me Was Abel (able) to make it, but Cain hate me but can't slay me, can't break me (can't break me) man u can't phase me Focused this motivation is potent it keeps me going So there is my testimony If you ever feel like quitting just reminisce on my story (move one)
