Lyrics

I was marked by God and I was saved at 17
Grace hit different when you know what it mean
Wasn't just a moment, it was shift in the scene
Old me faded out, new creation routine
Before that I was searching for identity
Tryna find worth in attention and symmetry
World sell dreams but they never delivered me
Now my foundation solid, divinity centered me
Sweet 16, I was learning them lessons
Now I spit sixteens, turn pain into blessings
Back then want love, now I speak with direction
Bars got weight, every line got a message
15, first time I wrote with a vision
Notebook dreams, didn't know what I'm building
Pens turn to purpose, that spark was ignition
God used a hobby to start my commission
I had a 13th reason to go follow the Light
Not for the pain but for changing my life
Culture say "why," but the answer was Christ
Hope hit deeper than the darkest of nights
14, awkward stage, tryin' to grow in my skin
Didn't know then what He'd make from within
Seeds underground, now the roots sinking in
God write stories way before they begin
I'm from the Ten, yeah the state where I'm raised
Tennessee roots, that's the dirt in my veins
Southern soul but my praise never changed
From them back roads to the heavenly lanes
12 like Brady, I'm trusting the GOAT
Fourth quarter faith when I needed it most
11 like Edelman, clutch when it's close
Small on the outside but built for the smoke
Eight days a week I'm still praying, no breaks
Nine lives couldn't keep me from my mistakes
Still He held on when my grip started to shake
That's mercy, not luck, every step that I take
I done fought like six, seven demons inside
Pride, fear, doubt — yeah I buried that side
Armor on daily, I'm walking with stride
It ain't by my strength, it's the One who provide
Five smooth stones, how David would aim
Giants look big but my God bigger than fame
Faith in my hand, I ain't playin' the game
One shot trust put a Goliath to shame
Four years old, yeah a new home came
Adopted in love, God was writin' my name
2004, that's the start of the frame
Proof I was chosen before I had fame
Three strands strong when my life get tight
Father, Son, Spirit — they wired me right
When the world go dim, that's my light in the night
Never walk alone, I got the Trinity might
I'm cool bein' two, I don't need the throne
I know the One, so I'm never alone
Second place here but my crown been known
Lose this world, still my soul goin' home
