Lyrics
Verse 1:
I was eight when i realized what was happenin'
i was able to comprehend the position I was in
mom's drinking and yellin didn't affect me till then
this day was the first time that I picked up my pen
and wrote something down to show what i was feelin
from then till now it's like eternity has passed
I remember how i spent my days angry in class
it wasn't the teachers fault but that's how my anger passed
I was mad at my dad but more angry at the hand that
my mom used to hit me with and I couldn't understand
I tried to act big, tried to be a man
got two brothers now I've got to make a stand
callin social services i didn't know it was bad
didn't have a choice God wouldn't answer my prayers
every request I ever had went unanswered
so it's up for me now to try and make a way out
Hook (x2):
God give me strength from heaven above
cuz this world I'm livin in is fallin apart
I know now the difference between right and wrong
but I'll be lucky if I make it through tomorrow
Verse 2:
I turned 16 and on the run from the law
I didn't do nothing wrong, mom just wanted me behind bars
my friends had enough, she broke the last straw
this is when they turned me to the drugs and alcohol
living on my own nowhere to stay I felt cold
lonely sad and depressed.. turned to that and the sex
which in essence had the effect of curing the stress
I won't say much else cuz you know the rest
lost my intelligence and came to the brink of death
locked my door my interest turned to the gun on the desk
I picked it up and made one last wish
please God.. let my brothers make it through this
I coulda swore it was loaded when I held the trigger
figured if i ended it who would ever remember?
pulled the trigger back and I never heard a blast
looks like God decided to intervene at last...
Hook (x2)
Verse 3:
now my eyes were awoken to what my pastor had spoken
thank God for the Stokers or I woulda never known it
woulda been clueless to God's will and his son Jesus
who died for my sins and took my punishment
I didn't necessarily automatically realize it
took some time and some new friends to show it
looked at what happened that night, knew that God had done it
all I needed was a push to make me choose it
chose his love to the alternative that I was offered
keep living your life like this and end up dead
it didn't matter anymore what everyone said
the weight off my chest lifted now i do this for him
if I can save one life through what I lived
what I've seen then this is why I spit
it's legitimate when I say that you can live
Jesus saved my life and now my heart spills with this pen
Hook (x4)
