SHADOW OF DEATH
They say health is wealth I've been counting my steps
While I'm walking through the valley of the shadow of death
No fear in my demeanour in Christ I'm a believer they talk
But couldn't even walk a mile in my creps
Plenty speakers couldn't do a meter in my sneakers
They were eager to see a brother fall under the heat but I'm a dreamer
Seen the bigger picture from the foetus
To the youngers I've been setting the example I'm a leader
Blockbuster visions it was written in the stars
I've been planning for the future I ain't living in the past
Utmost precision I ain't missing with the art
Turn a lesson to a blessing cause I'm in a different class
Fought a couple battles I've been living with the scars
Don't be under no illusions if I put Him in my bars
That unorthodox sound will be the talk of the town
From the curb to the crown nothing's stopping us now like
They don't know me they were wrong for underestimating Kofi
Cause I came from the bottom straight to the nosebleeds
I ain't nothing like the old me
Tryna talk down on the kid lies and the fibs
Couldn't walk a mile in my kicks
Ten toes down on the strip get it how we live
This is the survival of the fittest
Tryna talk down on the kid lies in the fibs
Couldn't walk a mile in my kicks
Ten toes down on the strip get it how we live
This is the survival of the fittest
Taught me not to be afraid
Represent the Kingdom I can never be ashamed
I was living in a mess I had to rearrange
If you wanna see it then you gotta be the change
And I've been changed by the Spirit
Now I'm on a mission putting faith into my lyrics
Walk it like I talk it you gotta say it how I live it
Pushing past the limits silencing the critics
Playing my position now my vision hella vivid
And I ain't nothing like your regular
See me shining now they're blowing up my cellular
I know they're bluffing but affi turn a the blind eye
I ain't rushing cause I'm trusting the divine time
Yeah I'ma let my light shine
Uh I ain't sitting on the sideline
No direction I was walking on a fine line
Now I'm elegantly stepping in the limelight
Yeah no games no gimmicks
Writing all my lyrics in braille they'll feel it
Painting with my cadence and it's oh so vivid
Now my name rings bells when they hear it
Yes He is
He's our healer
He's our Saviour
Hallelujah!
Yes He is
He's our Deliverer
He's our Way maker
Hallelujah!
Yo we only started with a dream
We're trying to take the vision coast to coast
Never easy when you're trying to live beyond reproach
Strength was low so I'm communing with the Holy Ghost
I've been praying for a phantom need a holy Ghost
Even as a little youth
Always had the inclination to pursue the truth
Put my pain into my cadence when I'm in the booth
Cause I grew up as I screw up in the city
The nitty gritty for really
In the 016 it rains and pours
You keep your eyes on the ball if you ain't involved
Cause the mandem walk in tandem with the gats and the straps
So if you hear the ting clap it ain't a round of applause
Kids are led astray they're falling prey to the law
And the city's in a state so I pray to the Lord
To keep my people living give my people vision
Keep us at a distance from snakes and fakes for real
Yes He is
He's our healer
He's our Saviour
Hallelujah!
Yes He is
He's our Deliverer
He's our Way maker
Hallelujah!
