Verse 1:
I used to be broke - oh wait I'm still broke
But living life to the fullest extent, that’s no joke
I don't need money and fame to define my stature
I am who I am from now and thereafter
Use thoughts and emotions to cure this cancer
Faith in my Creator in whom I search for answers
I stay climbing mountains while some just gander
See you got to set the standard, always reach for the stars
I rely on no one except my God
Spit rhymes for a purpose, not just because
I'm not trying to be religious or stand at the pulpit
I just want to reach out to those lost in the commotion
Cause hope exists on the path to eternity
Eternally I burn for my Creator to the third degree
Doing surgery to all my imperfections
I was hopeless but now focused in His direction

Chorus:
I give You my life, I give You my soul
I give You my music, please take control
I give You my passion, I give You my dreams
Help me stand in the gap where You want me to be (x2)

Verse 2:
I stand as a man in this land of war
See the reflection of my family, I know what I'm fighting for
It's got me up late nights writing more, trying to settle the score
From self-doubt and use change as a metaphor
So let this be the day, the start of something different
To leave the past behind and keep your distance
Until it's time to reflect, close your eyes and take a deep breath
And give thanks for the ways you been refreshed
It's such a beautiful thing to find the love of the King
To find the peace inside and let freedom ring
Cause there’s no better time than this right now
To stand up and man up and let it all out
Cause time is too short to let it pass away
You're searching for tomorrow but you're stuck here today
With only one choice to make the change or remain the same
To live and die in Christ, now that's gain

Chorus

Verse 3:
In the midst of a million emcees I stand firm
With a tight grip and learn how to write this
Music that's more than just righteous but on the fight tip
A passion so deep that you can feel my arthritis
Cause I'm trapped in a box of this penmanship
My train of thought is caught in a place called experience
But not on this mic in life’s consistent hustle
A place retraced back to my early struggle
Cause now I'm grown up and things are sewn up
I been through the storm and I’ve learned so much
So I won't chase that throwback life I used to hold
I got a second chance to advance and express my soul
It goes fortune and fame, fame and fortune
I'm a family man now so that's not important
I'm so blessed to be alive and living in His grace
So I’ma use this microphone to give back what He gave

Chorus
