Inside Hell

Everything I did, I gave it my best

But it felt like a truck was parked on my chest

Breathin’ heavy, wonderin’ how much is left

Last call, last step

I go hard ‘cause today could be my last breath

Satan came through, tore the walls down

Showed me secrets in the dark, tried to make me drown

I was trapped in a place where light don’t exist

Where the pain talks loud and the silence hits

I was just a kid, scared to sleep

Demons whisperin’ while I prayed for peace

Doctor said “no clue,” so I lived confused

Felt like my mind was a ticking fuse

I built a world in my head just to cope

Played ball, made beats, but I needed hope

Knife in my hand, tryin’ not to choke

Beggin’ for a lifeline, beggin’ for a rope

This ain’t just music, this is my cry

From the pit where I learned how to survive

I saw the devil, yeah, face to face

But God pulled me out, gave me grace

Now I coach the broken, I speak to the lost

Turned my pain into purpose, no matter the cost

Inside the abyss, I found my gift

Now I lift others up from where I slipped

Momma almost died the day she gave me life

Doctor said “miracle,” tears in my daddy’s eyes

Since zero, I’ve been dodgin’ death

Since two, I’ve been watchin’ steps

People judged everything I did

So I built a fortress deep within

Created the abyss, made it my home

Till God said, “Son, you’re not alone”

It’s like layin’ on train tracks

Contemplatin’ blowin’ your brain back

Eyes closed, watchin’ it fade black

People step over you like a placemat

But I ain’t stay there

I broke the chains

Turned trauma into truth

And now I train

The ones who feel like they’re too far gone

I tell ‘em: “You’re not broken, you’re just reborn”

This ain’t just music, this is my cry

From the pit where I learned how to survive

I saw the devil, yeah, face to face

But God pulled me out, gave me grace

Now I coach the broken, I speak to the lost

Turned my pain into purpose, no matter the cost

Inside the abyss, I found my gift

Now I lift others up from where I slipped

I didn’t want to be like this

But I guess it is what it is

Inside hell

God met me in the pit

And said, “You’re not finished yet”

So I rise, I build, I teach

Now I reach

The ones who feel like they’re outta reach

This is not a song

This is ministry

This is me
