Romans 8:28! Lyrics

Shhhhh

Thinking bout the old days

Where would I be without my God

Wouldn't be here today

Not saved

Thank God I called upon his name

Got crucified with Christ so to my flesh I'm not a slave

Sometimes I wish I had no memory

Of the things I did back in the past

Cuz deep down yeah that was never me

I don't regret it cuz it had to be

Lot of bad things happen God turned it around and it worked out for me

Ninth grade started smoking weed

At a young age, I was really only fourteen

Little youngin' breaking all the rules

In the hallway, with some hood dudes

They like Secret let's go smoke after school

They were seventeen and eighteen, way older

Last class, bell rung, put away my folder

We was in a circle took a puff and it was over

Told myself I don't wanna ever be sober

Had a little money started coping it myself

No I didn't want to stop because I love the way it felt

I had changed in my ways if you knew me you could tell

Fast forward, I did something stupid and I got expelled

Time in juvie I was facing

Judge talking bout locking me up plus probation

Back to back court dates, tired couldn't take it

But my God was with me the whole time I couldn't fake it

Let off with a warning yeah my God is so amazing

After that was still tweaking

I'm not gon lie I might of had some real demons

Gang banging, man that's all I was dreaming

Toting guns, for that yeah I was feening

Was falling in a pit and I ain't even noticed

Yeah that life is not what it seems my God had to expose it

My boy Jamari's in a gang

thought it was cool right

That same thing I thought was cool

Took my boy's life

And then my eyes opened up

Jamari really dead man it was hard to soak it up

Like we was just in ISS and we was all laughing it up

Only sixteen can't believe that that's the way he ended up

Told myself that's not the life for me

Cuz I want a wife and to have kids and start a family

Yeah I want a legacy, not to be a memory

I don't want the dust of my bones to be what's left of me

To be what's left of me

Look

Was in alternative school, was up in class

Bros was out here freestyle, I sat back and laugh

God was on a mission yeah my God was on a task

Yeah he spoke through somebody he said "Secret you could rap"

Never thought about it

Never even tried it

"Go ahead get a mic you never know you might like it"

Never had a mic but deep down I was excited

Same day, went home, then I started writing

Didn't know much I was clueless

Mom's old computer had a virus still using it

Downloaded a drill beat, flowing on that beat yeah I was moving

Sent it to my boy he's like "this is real music"

Thought he was capping

Then I went to school yeah I walked up in the room

Bruh my song they was blasting

Yeah I stood there and I started laughing

That was the day I found my calling and my passion

Got expelled it was madness

But without it man this would've never happened

Thank you Jesus

Everything worked out
