You Should Know

I shy away from the old
You should know my story will be told
I shy away from the old
Just you wait my story will be told
I shy away from the old
You should know my story will be told
I shy away from the old
Just you wait my story will be told

Listen
I was raised in the 201, that's where I'm from
Student popped off in my grammar school with a BB gun
Middle school student around the corner were smoking some
Went to church that same night my boy said, "give the drummer some" (Ha)
I met God at a young age, it's so cray
Since '05 I was bumping to Lecrae, parents trained me up this way
Could have been a statistic, that's why I go ballistic
Understanding I was born astray
It all makes sense, plus she made dollars
When my second grade teacher told me I was stupid I had no knowledge
It left me in tears, gave me scars for years
Brokenness led to fear, vision wasn't so clear
Now I'm 23, chilling, I got my degree
Perspective shifted, my past, I dismissed it
Greatness was born from experience, led to brilliance
Success, went beyond the interferences

All of the craziness and pain I lived
Got me like how'd I make it?
Why is this so complicated?
Why the chaos, anger and hatred?
I feel so humiliated and
All of these moods got me jaded
You see joy and me? There was no affiliation (Plus)
I couldn't see my genius
Thought I was the weakest
She told me I was nothing, And I would believe it!
But she told me she loved me
So then what was the reason
That she would leave me puzzled and in pieces
Scattered around the idol she built when she took my freedom
And I idly watched as time passed by
But a warrior cannot hide, I did not fight
In the sun, but the idol I tore down at night
Now, I can see a reason why I'm alive
And why He chose me, so I serve Him faithfully
Cuz there is no greater name, who gets not greater praise
And who I'll worship until the end of my days

We all have an exposition, a story if you will
And it's not a toy that should be played with
To try and hide and erase the lines, that have been scripted in our lives
No, but proclaim it (to infinity and beyond)
So, rise up and take action
Your story is fortunately not always a comedy
And I say fortunately because even though every adventure has its drama
It allows us to grow, to the highest point and know
That your story is not anti-climactic
It may have some action, where it feels like you are falling
But there is a beautiful romance
A love that is unfailing
You can have that all the more
If you, take the hand of the man that can save you from destruction
No, this isn't science fiction
He indeed is the resolution
