Forty Three

I left the former me in the past God doin new things that'll last Why don't you see it on the path Lead me to water I'll never go back I left the former me in the past God doin new things that'll last Why don't you see it on the path Lead me to water I'll never go back I got no chains I rep no gangs I don't waste time I won't play games I won't talk big I let God explain Lift Him high now that's real gains Keep it honest my brotha from Philly Q said in time they goin feel me Puttin in work got a feeling Rising above wit no ceiling I'm on fire and you can't put me out In my bag an I ain't coming out I'm focused on what I'm about Got so little time and we out If time equals money then I'm finna spend it on things that won't ever run out I got the end in my sights and I'm driven by passion Found hunger inside the drought I left the former me in the past God doin new things that'll last Why don't you see it on the path Lead me to water I'll never go back I left the former me in the past God doin new things that'll last Why don't you see it on the path Lead me to water I'll never go back Statistic no father That only made me stronger I'm married now and I'm goin be there for my future sons and my daughters Pain shape me like Jesus is when I'm in the hands of the potter And I wouldn't have it no other way Easy why would I bother Not as easy to trust the Lord when it's outta your hands though Needing relief right now but it takin forever like watching a plant grow Every night you been praying for answers and heard nothing back so You losin all hope it's just hard to stay focused This can't be my story I'm mad at who wrote it He teaching me lessons I'm trying to decode it (Sheesh) I just don't want to stay broken I can't let it stop just put it in motion The end of the storm I can see it approaching Yeah I can see it approaching Why be afraid when he calming the ocean I know if he promised it's already spoken I left the former me in the past God doin new things that'll last Why don't you see it on the path Lead me to water I'll never go back I left the former me in the past God doin new things that'll last Why don't you see it on the path Lead me to water I'll never go back
