Tayo Let’s Go…
Yeah…
Ayy…
Hear me.
[Verse 1]
There was a time I was numb, Novacane,
Painkillers for the trauma in my membrane.
Mary J. stole my whole memory lane,
Drownin’ in regrets, tryna wash off the stains.
Devil had a close grip, chain on my soul,
Whisperin’ shortcuts, toll after toll.
New-age Saul, blind to the light,
Till the scales fell off—now I’m seein’ my sight.
Cold nights, empty prayers in the dark,
Heart full of fire but my world left a mark.
Lost years, fogged mind, slow decay,
I survived every demon that said “you gon’ stay.”
I was numb, I was lost, I was chained,
Still rose from the dirt, let ‘em know I’m changed.
From the grip of the devil to breakin’ free,
If I did it from nothin’, it’s meant to be.
Yeah—meant to be.
Yeah—set free.
[Verse 2]
I seen friends turn ghosts, names on tees,
Mama cryin’ to a God she can barely see.
Every vice felt warm when the nights got cold,
Till the comfort turned cages, bars made of gold.
Mind in a war zone, soul in a trial,
Smile on my face but I’m dead for a while.
Talked to myself in the mirror like, “You alive?”
Answer came back like, “Only if you decide.”
Pressure made diamonds but cut me too,
Every scar a sentence I survived through.
Now my voice hit heavy like a gavel slam,
Judge, jury, proof—I’m a better man.
Ain’t no halo, still fight my flaws,
Still hear echoes of my old dark thoughts.
But faith hit louder than the shame I knew,
I ain’t perfect—just redeemed and true.
I was numb, I was lost, I was chained,
Still rose from the dirt, let ‘em know I’m changed.
From the grip of the devil to breakin’ free,
If I made it through hell, it was meant for me.
Yeah—meant for me.
Yeah—set free.
New-age Saul, now I walk in the light,
Same past—new purpose—clearer sight.
They tried to bury me under pain and shame…
But I grew out the dirt—remember my name
