Thank Ya

You know one of my many goals is to, inspire
Especially the next generation behind me you know man
Having them not making the same mistakes that I did, you know wanna be a role model

Bring that snare 808 my cue to jump in like jump man
Jump man, jump man, jump man that boy up to something
Drake and Future let me share about my past I was addicted to the streets wanted to grow up fast
I was the type to blow up, you wanna diss me?
My two fists was bound to go up, street fighter Ryu but this wasn't a game I got one life
So I thought a clip would change up the game and give me nine lives
Guess I took a cat nap on reality my homeboy showed me his piece I didn't wanna squeeze
I'd rather fight my fist till they bleed show my manhood cover fear and dignity with pride
Hide behind a mask convince myself this is me, couple years later I found out the real me
It took Edison several trials, so I guess that's why the bulb over my head didn't give off light

Well, lightah inna mi hand, oxygen deh bout so bun some trees
Puff pon di smoke tek mi pass di clouds
Lighten all mi problems yo zeen mi nah go frown
A lie weh mi believe and plus being a Yadi mek it eazy fi see
Most people live up to the stereotypes there's truth in every lie - the more you grow you'll see

Hindsight, go back correct all my wrongs?
Well if I did I wouldn't be penning lyrics or quotes to this song
My past revive to life could've left back there
But taking notes from my past let you know I'm standing here
I do this for the indifferent and for people who don't tend to fit in
They try to tell you that you can't I was was in your shoes but like Nike, I just do it so just do you

Thank Ya
I'm so glad I was saved
Lord thank ya
I'm so glad I was saved

This verse is for the ex's and for all the girls that I use to mess with
I want to apologize, for my childish ways and for the toying with your heart like it was okay
I would hook up with you, few weeks in I would claim I was in love with you
But even though I probably wanted love, I was in it for the wrong thing
For sex, boy my teenage years were daunting
I really cared and you always knew, but I was selfish so you didn't get my point of view
I also carried a lot of anger around and if it wasn't my way then its the highway so bye babe!
Dang, now that to think about it it's kinda messed up but the older you get you try to clean your mess up
But its harder when another person's involved, but you can put the blame on me it was my fault

Thank Ya
I'm so glad I was saved
Lord thank ya
I'm so glad I was saved

Some people use to call me a player but now I'm playing for the right team I'm so unashamed!
Sometimes a little shamed of my past, you know the saying karma comes around and nip you right in the
BUT
I'm glad I went through that phase now I can share my testimony and impact some change
Maybe not nickels and dime, but the generation behind
Let them learn from my story, and change their state of mind
Cause, now I'm a role model, might not be perfect but I've learned from a whole lot of
Troubles in past, but Christ gave me a good glance of my
Would've been had to change it up put Him in the man
A new me, lion and a lamb living brave but humble on the journey to the promise land
Like the Moses of my era, got the heir to the throne part the red sea Pharaoh I'm going homeboy!

Thank Ya
I'm so glad I was saved
Lord thank ya
I'm so glad I was saved

You know one of my many goals is to, inspire
Especially the next generation behind me you know man
Having them not making the same mistakes that I did, you know wanna be a role model...
