Lyrics

Ooh baby, look what we found.
There ain\'t no holding me down.
Think times are changing around.
There ain\'t no breaking me.
Ooh baby, look what we found.
There ain\'t no holding me down.
Think times are changing around.
There ain\'t no breaking me.
Yeah.
The prayers hit the most when they not in a post.
Tried to do it my own way, was becoming a ghost.
Glad I made it out of the storm, it was all I hoped.
Instead of thinking of man above, some would rather boast.
I pray the Lord forgive when I tried to cope.
He gonna be my only judge when it\'s time to go.
I tried to do what\'s right living by an oath.
Rest in peace to my brother Specs, hope one day we toast.
Remember days in my youth I was cutting it close,
Bringing worry to all the people that love me the most.
I seen people change coming out the cloak,
Reason why I had to cut \'em off, it was nothing but growth.
There ain\'t no hate in my heart, love the only approach.
I\'m praying my generation is finally woke.
I pray my daughters can hear this and fill them with hope.
I\'m praying for all my fam on each side of the coast.
I\'m praying through these urges.
Prayers don\'t mean a thing if you ain\'t finna put the work in,
Sacrificing pieces of my life inside of these verses.
I\'m just praying somebody say Amen like we in service, cuz I
been trying to get by, been trying to get fly.
I\'m trying to get one hand on the sky. I said I
been trying to get by, been trying to get fly.
I\'m trying to get one hand on the sky like
This for all my ladies that see all these hoes winning.
At the end of the day girl, we know they all sinning.
When it\'s judgment day, then they\'ll surely be repenting.
Keep your morals intact, girl, don\'t let them tell you different.
This for all of my fathers with they bitter baby mamas,
always bringing you problems if you ain\'t bringing in commas.
Find space in your heart to love her despite the drama.
Promise if you\'re committed, your children will bring you honor.
This for all of my people that be steady on the scene.
Every picture you\'ve seen has never been what it seems.
Get to supporting each other, this a collective thing.
We can be stronger together when betting on a dream.
This for all my brothers that come from different mothers.
Thank you for holding it down regardless of the struggle.
I know it isn\'t easy when you living for the hustle.
Make time to settle down and tell your people you love \'em.
This for all my young **** trying to get by.
I was no different than you and I ain\'t have a reason why.
Tried to do it alone with the hunger in my eyes.
Only thing I was missing was permission from my God.
My mother cried. Only mission was survive.
And then I died, resurrected from a child.
Now I\'m alive.
Grandma kept me in her prayers, so I know he heard mine.
Looked the devil in his eyes.
I realized that my purpose is divine.
I\'m realigned. Now I\'m walking out on faith.
I\'m redefined. I just sent my prayers up, now I\'m on the Lord\'s time.
Until then,
I\'m just trying to get by, just trying to get fly.
I\'m trying to get one hand on the sky. I said I\'m
just trying to get by, just trying to get fly.
I\'m trying to keep one hand on the sky like
I\'m trying to keep one hand on the sky
This for all my people that been trying to get by
We trying to get... one hand on the sky
Congratulations. You passed the test.
You stood tall in the eye of the storm.
No longer are you burdened by the past.
The future is yours to explore.
The old you is dead and gone.
The question now is... will you live?
