Still Abides

I ain't worried bout no money
Jehovah will provide
I ain't worried bout no car
Cool with these Chevy's that I drive
Don't own Gucci just thankful
That I don't have to dumpster dive
All the wrong I done real talk man
I'm just glad to be alive

Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides

Nope I don't deserve it
But I'm still swimming in it
Knowing where my help comes from
But it took a minute

Walked down Damascus
And lost my sight,
Chin checked, changed my name
And saw HIS Marvelous Light

But rewind that, Way before that
I was a paper chasing monster
Baby gangster
Mackin pistol packing knucklehead
Reppin Southside
Throwing up the dirty
Promoting my sins world wide
That's right I was a

Innercity Hustlers
Boss Hoggin with Lil Tiger
And my Brother
The world in my hand
While my soul suffered
Then God sent it down in flames
Like the plane on front
The album cover

Like that with a finger snap
No mo hand claps
Now I'm back hanging behind the
Corner store shooting craps
On the block pushing packs
Slab riding, syrup sipping
Cruising on the highway to hell
Banging and set tripping
Not a care smoke in the air
Nothing to live for
Mama teary eyed, Praying
When I hit the front door

Faithful that a change gone come
Not ready to bury her oldest son
Embalming fluid got my
Whole body numb

Waking up in the county jail,
Wondering how I got in this cell
Boys den hit the stash
Robbed me blind
How I'm a make my bail
Baby girl blocking my calls
Ran outta opinions guess I gotta
Sit down til I touch down
Feeling bound
No space to move around

Went from roller coasting
To moving in slow motion
Like Giannis in the paint
I was posted

Did my bid and got out
Didn't learn my lesson
Had to fall a few more times like Jonah running from my call
In the belly of the Whale
Til it spit me out
Went from swimming
With the sharks to on dry land
It had to be HIS Grace and Mercy

I ain't worried bout no money
Jehovah will provide
I ain't worried bout no car
Cool with these Chevy's that I drive
Don't own Gucci just thankful
That I don't have to dumpster dive
All the wrong I done real talk man
I'm just glad to be alive

Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides
Grace and Mercy still Abides

I was just ya average sinner
Til I accepted HIS Grace
Asked for forgiveness
Now I'm back in the race
All my father ask is that
I keep a steady pace
Letting HIS Grace and Mercy
Guide me to the starting line

And when the blinders came off
I took off! Ya heard me!
Like a horse at the Kentucky derby
I'm running for HIM
Ain't no looking in the rear view
My past is made over,
Israel said it best I'm not going back
Moving ahead
This old thang became new
Stopped being the class clown
And learned all I had to do

Was trust HIM
Because HE never left ya side
HIS Word says that
HE is not a man that HE should lie

Considered me a Saint,
When the world said I ain't
The same world begging me to quit
But I can't
Even of I wanted to I can't

Cause HIS Grace and Mercy Abides

HIS Grace and Mercy still abides
