Reach back

Intro / Spoken Word]

Mmhm… what the hell is wrong with people?
Mmhm… oooh…

So caught up in their own heads
They lose perspective of the real world.

Life ain’t fair.
Life ain’t easy.

Let’s talk about how you grew up
Versus how I did.

You were sheltered. Pampered.
Everything handed to you, then and now.
Pool in the backyard.
Fridge full. Cabinets stacked.
Clean house, quiet nights.
Suburban comfort —
No fear waiting when you got home from school.

Bills paid in full.
Seven-fifty credit straight out the womb.

We don’t swing from the same set.

⸻

[Verse 1]

I grew up trailer to trailer,
Never knowing what version of my drunk father
Was waiting on the other side of the door.
Went to sleep scared,
Woke up screaming —
Only to realize what I thought was a nightmare
Was just real life replaying itself.

So who’s laughing now?
Not me.
I’m crying for help.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus / Reflection]

But God heard me
When nobody else did.
When the room was quiet
And the weight was loud,
He stayed.

Once you learn
The world ain’t what you’re handed,
It’s what you survive,
You stop chasing comfort
And start chasing truth.

⸻

[Chorus / Hook]

I been chasing purpose through the pain, yeah
Running toward the light in the rain, yeah
They don’t know the nights I survived, no
God kept me standing when I was breaking

This ain’t just a name, it’s the way I live
I don’t chase the world, I chase what He gives
From the dark to the crown, that’s the lane I’m in
This ain’t just a brand… yeah, I ChaseIt

⸻

[Verse 2]

I don’t chase money, I don’t chase praise
I chased peace through the darkest days
Came from fear, came from shame
Still standing here, so I speak His name

Every scar got a story attached
Every loss turned fuel for the match
I was built in the fire, not comfort zones
Learned real strength when I stood alone

⸻

[Bridge]

That’s what ChaseIt really means —
Not fabric, not fame, not chains.
It’s chasing purpose when quitting feels easier,
Chasing light when you came from dark,
Chasing God when the road don’t make sense
But you walk it anyway.

⸻

[Final Chorus / Outro]

I been chasing purpose through the pain, yeah
Running toward the light in the rain, yeah
If I’m still breathing, there’s a reason why
God don’t pull you out just to leave you dry

So I reach back now, help ‘em stand again
Turn my past pain into medicine
If He pulled me out, I know I’m meant to give
This ain’t just a brand…
This is how I live.

Yeah… I ChaseIt.
