I Remember

I remember playing at the table on the dial phone
Pop's saying bill collectors call don't pick up the phone
Lying through my teeth when I'm saying that he's not home
Child services gon' take me cause we home alone
I remember watching Pops breaking out the penny rolls
Riding in a Ford Taurus sitting in the back row
Running low on gas but we heading to the drug store
Counting change on the counter for albuterol

If my dad being broke would give me all that he had
How much more would my Father give me all that He has
I'm going forward at the moment ain't no use looking back
Those days are gone far behind me they can stay in the past
I give my life to You because you first gave Yours for me
I know this worlds not all there is there's more that's waiting for me
I didn't have much growing up but I had all that I need
Now I can see that my God never took His eyes off of me

Didn't have much growing up
Stayed low now I'm going up
Blessings still showing up
TikTok now I'm blowing up
He has a plan for me
Laid out some land for me
I look back and see God always had His hands on me
Laid out some bands for me
I'm talking grands homie
So I can't complain at all

I remember sitting on my bed with the flashlight
Trying to read my bible in the dark we ain't have lights
Bills bills bills bills bills why they so high
Struggle trying to keep me low but I never got high
Hold up let me rewind why these bills are so high
Autozone recharging batteries cause we need light
It was so hot batteries in the fan at night
Didn't have two nickels to rub but somehow we still survived

If my dad being broke would give me all that he had
How much more would my Father give me all that He has
I'm going forward at the moment ain't no use looking back
Those days are gone far behind me they can stay in the past
I gave my life to You because you first gave Yours for me
I know this worlds not all there is there's more that's waiting for me
I didn't have much growing up but I had all that I need
Now I can see that my God never took His eyes off of me

Didn't have much growing up
Stayed low now I'm going up
Blessings still showing up
TikTok now I'm blowing up
He has a plan for me
Laid out some land for me
I look back and see God always had His hands on me
Laid out some bands for me
I'm talking grands homie
So I can't complain at all

So I can't complain at all
No I won't complain at all
I've come too far just to turn back now
Brought me too far just to go back right now
