Lyrics

Back then I used to roll with the geekers

Inside sipping lean out the beaker

All red Fila my sneakers

We used to rob, they would call us the sneakers

In class ignoring my teachers

Boy, I was so different

I gotta thank God, He changed up my living

I gotta thank God, I've been redeemed

'Cause back then we was really popping them beans

Out in the streets, chilling with the fiends

Stealing, that was the scheme

But thank God I've been redeemed

Oh I've been redeemed

And that don't mean that I'm perfect

But I can really tell you what I've been learning

God sent Jesus, He died and was risen

When I accepted Him, I accepted forgiveness

At first it was really hard to not get

Used to love stealing, I would sneak it in my pocket

I don't know how they didn't see it in my jeans

I don't know how they didn't see it in my face

Gotta thank God that I didn't catch a case

Life real fast, I was living at pace

Didn't care about the future, I was living for the day

Close calls, rough nights, yeah they really made me pray

And when I'm talking 'bout geeking, I ain't talking 'bout no book

Talking 'bout all the pills that me and my homie took

I ain't spitting pancake if I'm talking 'bout the syrup

Got the Sprite with the Pop Rocks, then it's time to stir it

Oh snap, my lines be blurring

Gotta thank God, He deliver

Went and took the pills out my gut and the lean out my liver

What a forgiver

Used to think that it didn't make no sense that He saved me

I was out here tripping on the daily

Lean with the pills, I was always geeking

Tryna steal something, we was out here sneaking

Still heard that still small voice in my spirit

Tried to ignore it like I didn't really hear it

Holy Spirit, thank You for chasing

Holy Spirit, You are amazing

Gotta thank God, I've been saved

But that's a gift so I didn't really earn it

Back in the day, we was Bandcamp burning, burning

Ayy, we was Bandcamp burning

Gotta thank God, I've been saved

But that is a gift so I didn't really earn it, earn it

Back in the day, we was Bandcamp burning

Yeah, Bandcamp burning

This life's so crazy, I think it's amazing that God would save me

Somebody like me, God You would save

Back then I used to roll with the geekers

Inside sipping lean out the beaker

All red Fila my sneakers

We used to rob, they would call us the sneakers

In class ignoring my teachers

Boy, I was so different

I gotta thank God, He changed up my living

I gotta thank God, I've been redeemed

'Cause back then we was really popping them beans

Out in the streets, chilling with the fiends

Stealing, that was the scheme

But thank God I've been redeemed

Oh I've been redeemed
