[Hook x2: I-20] I been down this road but wasn't truly feeling safe I been down and out but never thought of losing faith I know he walking with me, I hear him talking with me It's out of my hands now, this is God's plan
[Verse 1:] And if I'm almost gone, tell em that my hope is strong I'll be running too him welcome me with open arms Broken promises have truly thought I'm in defense Which are the only one that ever knew how much it meant I wish music was my passion to the very end It was the window to my soul and you were peaking in I never had a second chance I wasn't planning for it That's why it's hard to let it go and get a handle on it I just want a chance to rap not be a back-up man But I don't wanna be a stat I have a back-up plan I'm just hoping I can rhyme so I can make a mends If they just open up they minds and let a nigga in They say you practice what'chu preach I'm in a different class You see I'm speaking what'chu teach and walk a different path This is the meaning of my life and I can be the spark So I can finally see the light and I can leave the dark
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2:] But ain't no rushing getting there so tell em save a place There's just food for the soul just gotta say my grace But I ain't try'na see the pain that's on my mother face If I gotta lead before I'm thinking what a waste I know it's meant for me to do it I just make the case There's always room for some improvement I just make the space That's why I'm writing for my heart and try'na make it last Put my problems down a paper y'all just do the math There's a war within my conscience and I fight about it That's why I think before I speak it and I write about it And I won't lie about it, just needed motivation And I can't cry about it, just need a lil patience So I'm exercise, not over annualizing All of you understand and never under minded But I ain't try'na preach or either make a scripture of it This is my masterpiece and I will paint a picture of it
[Bridge x2: J. Serious] Angels keep whispering you're too close to the edge The demons is trying to drag me off the edge Father forgive me I'm trying to keep my head But I wanna say yes, I wanna say yes
