Verse 1
I remember when I was a youngen, I must have been four years old I had
A near death experience – thanks to God I’m still living this/
I was steady drowning, I was just steady drowning, think I almost lost
My breathe until I felt that hand pull me/
When I was a teen one night I was just walking by getting high and
This is through the pouring rain – I bore the pain/
When I fell down that hole and you lifted me, you gave me strength to
Endure this and you gifted me/
Momma said that I’d make it, my Poppa wasn’t a rolling stone my
Brothers said D go take it, my sisters said no different/
This is in my defense, a mortal not inhuman, holding slogans a few
Funds – it’s for the future youth/
Raise my hand and never spoof the truth, many men telling lies by
Design so they can scoop the juice/
Will never settle for something a soft as a petal, I’m stronger than
Metal…I’m stronger than metal/
Hook
Oh my, Oh my God – I count my blessings – it doesn’t mean that I’m
Blind to life’s lessons, see time been time stressing so I’mo spend it
All night singing oh my, oh my, oh my God/ x 2
Dope G (Verse 2)
Thankful, I’m so thankful – that he’s so faithful, my wrongs he said
He would pay for/
When life hit hard like a paintball, wasn’t grateful – we stayed poor
Mom said just let your faith grow – look at me now with these
Bankrolls/
Back when I followed wrong a blessing to me was these yellow bones
Now my blessing is my little man who is carrying half of my
Chromosomes/
Only kiss him on these mobile phones, I’m working these vocals chords
So I can build him a local home – where he can walk when grown – where
He can walk when grown/
Pano pa chalo ta twisa ku mukwikala – twisa ku tandala tandala, bakatu
Shindika bana mayo mufi tenge nefi tambala tambala/
So ifi bwangala, ala mwine wila laba kutila lesa ni shi mafamu pano pa
Chalo ali ku byalala/
All that I ask for, the cash and the stamps in my passport – I got
Them all, I’m about to be blessed with something with wood on the
Dashboard/
On what I was deprived of is where I concentrated, when I look twice I
Realize that I’ve been compensated/
