Sometimes I be wishing I could take it back to days when days were simple Where all I had to worry bout was school and if I had a pimple Now everybody looking up to me like I’m God And I’m tryna be the man but I can’t put up no facade It’s a sacrifice out here leading Tryna patch people’s wounds when yourself still bleeding Everything falls down I wonder who see us Boom boom pow like onomatopoeia Onomatopoeia I been on my job Scary thing is I been feeling like Tom Lord is my shepherd I been reading in Psalms (yeah) Need to feel God in my feet and my palms I feel like I’m overprotective because I’m scared of getting hurt Cause it’s like time and time again the hurt is getting worse I feel I’m cursed cause people lied to me so much I can’t relax Every time I’m tryna level up the devil on my back
Cause we been down before, yeah I ain’t know It ain’t nothing like I been through before We gon’ make it out believe me Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me That’s what mama said
Satan bringing up my past when my past is past (yeah) I can’t let my story bring me down He brought me through that (brought me through) But what’s done in the dark comes to the light I promise That’s the realest He pull grace from a Big Ben like He rocking with the Steelers On top of that my homeboy passed last week Long live 22 that’s how fast life be Then I step out to a show and get a call from my sis She said a dude hung himself in school he only in the sixth It’s my job to bring this hope, it’s my job to walk this rope It’s my job to always stay low, it’s my job to save these souls So I can’t give up now Mary Mary it’s a sound Praise for life like I’m Claude Be still and know He God
Cause we been down before, yeah I ain’t know It ain’t nothing like I been through before We gon’ make it out believe me Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me That’s what mama said
