Gods Gift

I've been through hell and back, dragged in the dirt

And had a smile on my face even when it hurt

Satan really tried to break me, but it didn't work

I looked him dead inside his eyes and said, "Do your worst"

That's what happens when you feel like you're the chosen one

You stand strong regardless if you're supposed to run

So you can bring an army and tell them, "Come and get me"

But God is on my side, so you better come correctly

It doesn't matter if it's thunder, or it's sunshine

I'm ready to fight and put my life up on the front lines

Even if you gathered all my enemies and combined

I'd be just fine

So you can send reinforcements, chariots and horses

You can even paint the sky red with your torches

I don't back down, instead I run towards it

I'm coming for blood, I was bred for this war shit, uh

I need strength in my heart, and I pray for that

'Cause I gotta go even if I don't make it back

'Cause I know I was meant for more than this

Meant for more than this

I'm going through a metamorphosis

I was meant for more than this

Yeah, I was never meant to make it

The addiction cycle in my family, I was never meant to break it

The devil really wanted us eliminated

But I refuse to be intimidated, so I always stand strong

'Cause I know pain doesn't last long

Adversity is something that I never pass on

At one point, I didn't think I was strong enough

'Til I was thinking all of that shit for long enough, uh

I kept it going even though I felt defeated

And people were telling me to quit 'cause it's convenient

But man, I was the only person that I ever needed

And that's because Almighty God and I are in agreement

He wants me to help all the broken ones

And show them they're not the only ones

'Cause there's a pain inside of us that is overdone

But it's a power we possess that is close to none

I need strength in my heart, and I pray for that

'Cause I gotta go even if I don't make it back

'Cause I know I was meant for more than this

Meant for more than this

I'm going through a metamorphosis

I was meant for more than this
