HOLLA, HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME
AND COME UP CLOSE THERE'S NO NEED TO FEAR ME.
BY THE TIME I HIT THIRTEEN
I HAD KNOWN I WOULD FACE EITHER JAIL OR THE GUILLOTINE.
AT THE SAME TIME I HELD ONTO FAITH WITH A TIGHT GRIP
DIDN'T TAKE THE BACKGROUND WHEN GOD STEERED THE SHIP.
I KNEW I WAS DROWNING FROM ALL OF MY CLOWNING
TRIED SMILING LIKE CHRIST IN THE MIST OF MY SURROUNDINGS.
PUSH HAD COME TO A SHOVE I BEGAN ABANDONING LOVE
BEING TORN BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT IS HOW I WAS.
LIVING ON THE EARTHS SURFACE DIDN'T QUITE BELONG
WORKED ODD JOBS, FAILING GOD, STILL LIVED STRONG.
MY HEART WAS TORN IN TWO, IN TOO MANY PLACES
HAVING LOVE FOR GOD HAVING LOVE FOR MANY RACES.
SOON YA'LL, A TEAR FROM MY EYE FINALLY WOULD DROP
GOD HELPED ME TO SEE THINGS GIVEN, ALL THAT HE GOT.
LETS SEE, THERE IS HOPE, FAITH, LOVE, AND MUCH SERENITY
ABILITY, CREATIVITY, APPRECIATION, ALL THIS INSIDE OF ME.
I HAD NOTHING AT THAT MOMENT THAT I COULD LOSE
EITHER ACCEPT GOD'S AIR I BREATHED, IT'S ON ME TO CHOOSE.
SO I DID AND WEIGHT LIFTED, I NO LONGER LIVED PHONY
GOD SAID ALL THOSE TESTS WERE FOR A FUTURE TESTIMONYâ€.
NEXT TIME A WEEKEND CAME I HAD MY A$$ IN A CHURCH
YES GETTING MY PRAISE ON, BUT EYES ON FUTURE WORK.
WITH NO MORE EXCUSES I NOW WORK O.T. WITH CHRIST JESUS
NO SHAME IN HIS NAME WHEN HOW HE DIED TO PLEASE US.
TO THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO LOVE AND GET A GRIP
REMAIN BEHIND CHRIST, FAITHFUL, YO, HE STEERS THE SHIP!!
