The Come Up

I was good was a really great kid
My love for God was real
What he showed me was amazing
Grew up in the hood
Yet I knew that I was chosen
So I learnt to pray, meditate, and have faith Yes Lord

God is ordering my steps came up vexed
In the hood momma struggling
Not enough cheques school near the Rex Dope boy with an attitude
Through another episode tell me what's next
You ain't on my level pride to an altitude
Wore a chain of a goon acting like a rebel
Sin at the door oh Lord need self control
To subdue these plots from devils
Send more than one angel
I need good defences
Be like some fences guarding me from evil I'll remain strong learning right
From the wrong aware like a recon
With power like King Kong
When I got up in the area
Mind set on warrior heat when it's beef
Then tear it up terrier shots ring off
In the night time was a walking flashlight
Get a sneak peek of my character Environment can mold ya
But think for yourself I know nuff folks
In a real cold cell ringing like a bell
When it's war move stealth
This world gets cold like below zero
But their hearts will melt
Through the Lord's great love
Send prayers up to relieve that stress
When I needed to dash
He was there In a flash
Times I was sad
Been through the gang clashes
Gripz was the status
Fanatic to the cash like a magnet
Rapid, making moves
Scenes I adapted, connected
Protected, streets was effected
Rap dudes tellin youth
Carry them weapons
And treat women disrespectful
Lord knows that is not a happy ending
This a time of reflection
I thank God that I overcame everything

I understood the pursuit for the money route
But on the real I kept getting them issues
People cold for the green like an igloo Rendezvous at the spot for a review
Made guap duck cops too
Boy meets world phase surreal dude
Sick look mean mug at an opp
It would click clack pop
Turf war in the dot dude
I been on the dark now I'm in the light
I am in the fight gratefully the winning side
The enemy gets mad but it's tuff luck
God in the field won't lose for the long run
So we hold it down never giving up
Christ rose up reigns and he instructs
Being taught masterminds name is Jesus
Path straight and narrow but God leads us
Victory is ours so we claim it
When it rains colours show that's a covenant
Been blood covered it's an honor
When I think of it... God paid it all wow
Christ gave his all so we running
With the squad and we giving it our all
Double R E bringing truth the lost
And the Lord rewards
Through the Kingdom of God
