Lyrics

Yeah
Yeah
I'm tired of the hurt, I'm tired of the strain
I'm tired of the, I'm tired of the strain
Aye
Listen
Ahh, ahh, ahh
I'm tired of the hurt, I'm tired of the strain
I'm tired of this bitterness, man, I'm tired of this pain
I'm tired of my lust, I'm tired of my pride
I'm tired of my wicked ways
Man, don't ask me why
Lord, please, Lord please, Lord please
I need your help
This world is slowly breaking me down
Every time I take a step
I'm full of sin, but daily you wipe me down
In my eyes, I'm filthy, but still you hold me down
Can't you see, sure you do
You know I wanna do right
But something's in me pulling away
It's putting up a fight
This isn't right
But still you see goodness in me
Back in 08, you used me to light up the city
See, that was the beginning of this journey, I'm on
I didn't ask for this life to rep the king on the throne
See, I was chosen
And I realize this, as time passed on by
You used an example like me
To light up the sky, why?
Whenever I start feeling low
I look up to the sky
I know that everything I've been through
It was a blessing in disguise
You don't know
I grew up around that street life
You don't know
I could've been not living right
You don't know
I could've been done lost my life
But he chose me
To be that light
Whoo
Maaan, yeah, this is different
Ever since I gave my life to him
I'm feeling brand new, listen
My mind is renewed
Before I met him, I needed fixing
Kinda like a computer with a virus
Yeah, my mind was glitching
Every now and then, I look back
Of how my mind was tripping
Infatuated with money
I had lethal intentions
To those who knew me
Yeah, you knew that, I wasn't a thug
But I had a temper to let em know quick
I'm not a scrub
I realized my ways of living was wrong
I'm keeping it real
So I gave my life to someone greater than the man of steel
I took a leap of faith
Let me take that back, I took a jump
Now I'm out here singing this music
That'll make your heart pump
Can't nobody tell me nothing
Can't nobody tell me different
Anytime I make a new song
I know I'm making a difference
My life's a roller coaster
Ups and downs ain't new to me
I know all about perseverance homie
Because it lives in me
