(Verse 1)
I came from the shadows where the sun don’t shine,
Tryin’ to numb all the pain with a bottle and a rhyme,
Walkin’ with a limp ‘cause the world broke my spine,
Heart heavy, eyes blurry, thought I was outta time.
I was runnin’ in circles, down streets with no exit,
Every dream I had felt like someone just wrecked it,
Looked in the mirror, didn’t know who I was,
Hollowed out soul, just dust and buzz.
Then a voice broke through like a light in the rain,
Whispered, “Son, you’re loved, I can heal your pain.”
Dropped to my knees, tears fell on the floor,
Jesus came in, I ain’t lost no more.
(Bridge 1)
From the pit to the promise, I was dead, now alive,
Every fear, every demon—You made ‘em take a dive,
Chains hit the ground like thunder in the night,
Mercy came quick, now my soul gon’ fight.
I was runnin’ from the truth but truth ran faster,
Turned a broken boy into a kingdom rapper,
Hands to the sky, all glory to the Master,
From tragedy to triumph, I’m a holy disaster.
(Chorus)
Hallelujah, I’m alive, I’m free,
Jesus broke the shackles that were killin’ me,
Lift my voice high, let the whole world see,
He saved my soul, now I walk in victory.
Every step I take, that’s a testimony beat,
Every bar I spit is redemption on repeat,
I was lost in the dark, now I ride the melody,
Grace drips heavy like a gospel symphony.
(Verse 2)
I walked through valleys, shadows, and flames,
Friends turned strangers, callin’ me by shame,
But Your Word was a map out the labyrinth of pain,
Your blood was the ink that re-signed my name.
I was breakin’ my back for approval I’d never earn,
Chasin’ after fires that only let me burn,
But You showed me the river that never runs dry,
Baptized in the flow, now my spirit can fly.
Even when the world tried to kick me when I’m down,
You crowned me in love, flipped my frown to a crown,
I rap my story loud ‘cause my scars got a voice,
Turned the mess to a message, now I rejoice.
(Verse 3)
People said I’d fold, that I’d never see the day,
But You slid in my cell and You blew them bars away,
Every tear I cried is a lyric in my soul,
Every trial I faced paved a highway to my goal.
From the alleys to the altar, You walked me through,
Took the lies, the lust, and built somethin’ new,
My past ain’t erased, it’s a canvas You used,
To color the gospel in a rhythm and a groove.
I spit fast ‘cause grace came fast for me,
From the gutter to the gates, I got a VIP,
I’m a living testimony, a kingdom MC,
And the beat of my heart is a holy decree.
(Bridge 2)
Mercy rewrote my song, hope became my sound,
Every chain that held me now lies on the ground,
I was a runaway train, no track, no plan,
Then You grabbed the wheel, said, “I make new men.”
Now I rap with the fire of a saved soul’s cry,
Every word, every rhyme lifts Your name on high,
From the pit to the stage, now my anthem’s alive,
I ain’t just survivin’, Lord, in
