A nigga came from the mud but I turned it to gold
Pops said that the game is to be sold not told
Made a lane for myself and never sold my soul
And I shine so bright you can see my glow
Youngest of the Yahwehs you already know
See the scars from my past now I'm letting them show
I ain't even got the keys but I'm opening doors (dohs)
Next thing I'ma open is the door to the rolls
Got a wife and a son now I ain't quittin'
When the going get tough just keep on living
Had to jump over some hurdles and adjust my vision
Because life ain't sweet man I hope y'all listen
Take the mask off homie I can see the facade
Whole life smoke and mirrors like the Wizard of Oz
Anti-counterfeit no room for a fraud
I am Made in His Image, well look at God! Yahweh!
Peter Jericho (Chorus):
I don’t have to do this on my own
The footprints in the sand
Suggest that I’m not alone
When the trouble comes your way
Don’t forget who you are
Cause when it gets good I’ma thank him
Oh look at God
Since9ine6ix Verse:
I’m just the product of a praying mother
Our Father who art in heaven
It’s hell on earth but you saw me through all the stressing
Never at church but I’m always calling the reverend
When at my worst and it’s hard to call it a blessing
Hardest part of this lesson I’m learning
Turning confession’s to verse’s
Burning in session’s
I’m yearning
My head hurting
I fell into a depression
And everything that I felt was due to the pressure
Had to reflect on the error through trial and tribulation
Then had to wether the weather
But now I feel amazing
Stayed in the graces of God
Still trying to deal with Satan
Changing the face on my card’s
Smarter decision making
Was living jaded
But nigger we made it
Could’ve been dead and gone
Instead I’m flesh and bone
Living proof
I’m stepping stone’s
Just as long as I’m staying focused I know this road might get narrow
So take a look at god while I keep my eye on the sparrow
Peter Jericho (Chorus):
I don’t have to do this on my own
The footprints in the sand
Suggest that I’m not alone
When the trouble comes your way
Don’t forget who you are
Cause when it gets good I’ma thank him
Oh look at God
Rashid Hadee Verse:
Health
Wealth
And knowledge of myself
Look at God
Food, clothing, shelter
Way it’s dealt
Look at God
Pops died
Auntie Bell died
I took it hard
Now I’m a long way from Washington boulevard
It’s all chance baby pull a card
You either win or you’re further in the hole
Lost ones look for God then search around the globe
All I gotta do is
Inhale, exhale then I know
In God we trust on a dollar
The way they do my life
Wonder why Marvin said it make him want to holler
I stay in it till the end got to win it all
Till I see my pockets shopping at the Big and Tall
Gotta rise
Gotta put away the pride
In the end we just lucky to be alive
Look at God
Peter Jericho (Chorus):
I don’t have to do this on my own
The footprints in the sand
Suggest that I’m not alone
When the trouble comes your way
Don’t forget who you are
Cause when it gets good I’ma thank him
Oh look at God (2x)
