Now they say that you cant take it witcha true indeed
Fantasies of us getting richer you and me

Just so you can see the bigger picture a newer me
Now they say that you cant take it witcha true indeed
Fantasies of us getting richer you and me
Change my ways and I read the scripture renew me
Just so you can see the bigger picture a newer me

I'm not the same individual you knew
From once before
I been tested through the fire (flame)
Notice my glow
Been to hell and back twice same in the physical
Mental tug of war the flesh versus the spiritual
Facing my inner demons the element for growth
It was painful but I really needed to feel like I was uncomfortable
Necessary pain the ingredient for change
No fears for a new me only for staying the same mane
Don't wanna go to the old me the devil plot me
I'm protected by my angels so God got me
This is history in the making and yall watch me
Foot on the devil's neck and his demons can't stop me
At times I felt I died bring the drama to my door
I'm ready for war I feel alive more than I ever did before
Hit me with yo best shot is that all you got
I suggest you try again I come to win forget me not

In order for me to give birth to the new me
the old me must die
It's a constant tug of war every day
Because the old me is trying to come back
And the new me just ain't having it

I'm even rejoicing in rejection I'm not here for acceptance
I'm a brand new me headed in a new direction
Now you ain't gotta love me so bring the hate
That's all we ever knew our whole entire life anyway
Do you know how many loved ones that we've lost along the way
Every reason y we stand strong and we fighting today
Now you can choose that just to relapse
Nawh homie I don't need that
If u don't respect my feedback I can see clearly just where we at
They dare u to be different then criticize u for the change
Especially when u switch lanes and beat them at they own game
Why do they act like getting drunk and high is all so cool
Soon as you mention recovery they look at you like you the fool
Don't wanna be bother heavily father
Deliver me from all of these haters
How can I love my neighbor when he wanna stick me for paper
I'll keep my faith in you while the world quarantine
And pray you order my steps
In becoming a newer me a new me

Now they say that you cant take it witcha true indeed
Fantasies of us getting richer you and me
Change my ways and I read the scripture renew me
Just so you can see the bigger picture a newer me
Now they say that you cant take it witcha true indeed
Fantasies of us getting richer you and me
Change my ways and I read the scripture renew me
Just so you can see the bigger picture a newer me

Came to believe that a power greater than myself
Could restore me to sanity and renew me to sanity
God grant me the serenity to accept the things
I cannot change the power to change the things
I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time enjoying one moment at a time
Accepting hardships as a pathway to peace
Taking as Jesus did this sinful world as it is
And not as I would have it
Trusting that he will make all things right
If I surrender to him my will
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
And extremely happy with him
Forever in the next one Amen
