Prop told me when I turned 25, I’m only beginning to start it up, Young and I’m waking up in the Chi, honestly I didn’t think I’d would see 21, by now I thought I would see record sales, whole time what I’m given was to steward well, no fame but what I got is too priceless, a wife a job and baby girl…hol up/ Let me take’em back, show’em what them thirty years been, knowing providence carried me untill the end, I was a black kid never really fittin in, I wasn’t innocent I felt the weight of any sin/ I was saved by 11, raised by a reverend, never graduated got a GED later, ran in to John Edward’s …remember “Sinner’s in the Hand’s” learning that God wasn’t playing wit’em even then/ Most of my lesson’s I know, stead if me flooded with blessings and hope, Aye Now, Placed in with brothers that know, all I can say is I’m better than most, Aye Now/ I feel like, what I’m here for, Is it still Christ, I wanna yield more, Oh LORD, all them blessing and hope that I live for, I’m praying till the years end, I’m headed to the source
Chorus: I went in to the year like…he owes me nothin’….I went into the year like…But He know me yeah
Verse 2:
This part I call John Owen, I was on my knees not sure what to do with life, stressed and I’m vexed and I know it, I’m tryin to figure out if it’s sin to do a suicide, when I caved, part of it was shame, I feel a little lame, my fear is all the same, I came a little late, it’s a pattern that I paved, if I ran into a maze, Youngren, might as well have stayed/ And in real life, when it’s dead night, I don’t see a light, I don’t fair right, Oh what I realize, what I’m going through, it’s a pair of eyes, watching how I fair under pressure/ will I do whatever’s right and never fold, do I take the pattern and the way of men of old, or do I try to battle like I know the way to make it a little better, when I’m lookin back am I representing how I coulda/ ?now now hold up wit it already, I’m reflecting on when it was heavy, cuz I realize how it helped me, I understand how it fed me…they ask Cypha how you done did, how have you benefitted, it’s 30 years in the making, and I’m just starting to get it, I’m just starting my knowing, I just started my growing, I got habits I’m kicking, and that’s Just a part of the mission, I want the words that I’m spitting, and the meditation of heart, acceptable when I meet’em, show the world that I need Him/ And Show my daughter who run it, show my students the glory, show my city the King and whosever before me, keep on fanning the flame, lettem spread to the limbs, this is for you in your kin, whatever year that you in/ I know some people who well of, and some brothers who fell off, churches who way off, workers who laid off, it’s so much that goes in to see the year that you had, but it’s just part of the way that we get to see what He plans
