I never felt this way before This way before Felt this this way before This way before It's all I been praying for Been praying for It's all I been praying for Been praying for Got my head up I praise the lord Praise the lord Got my head up I praise the lord Praise the lord It's something I can't ignore Can't ignore It's something I can't ignore Can't ignore If old me could see me now I ain't got a single doubt He'd be proud Fast forward and I'm all grown up Young Simba 'bout to leave the house I was damn near stuck in rock bottom But I never saw the need to frown Didn't wanna let the demons out But now that the secrets out I might as well be free **** being on my knees Rather die on my feet Caught up in these streets Tryna find a lil' peace Pinpointing my dreams Tapped in the whole week (Hey, baby) Cause you know I can't sleep Can't stay in my sheets What's a lil sub tweet? Compared to struggles I seen Compared to judgement I received Ever since 'round 16 Blending in with crowds ain't for me So I get up on my own Poppa said I better do the most Cannot ever let a nigga hold - me back I'm chosen I been feeling like Moses Still around when the smoke clears Representing my citizens I be on the field like the proteas I never felt this way before This way before Felt this this way before This way before It's all I been praying for Been praying for It's all I been praying for Been praying for Got my head up I praise the lord Praise the lord Got my head up I praise the lord Praise the lord It's something I can't ignore Can't ignore It's something I can't ignore Can't ignore Look at how I done turned To a 6 foot dread head With cohesive crew Clearly it's needless to Say I'm appreciative Of what Jesus do I'm in a decent mood Times like this I'm hella relieved I grew Came right out a cocoon It was tough on me But it sure looks easy to you Gone are the days of the blues Ducking and dodging The anger they aiming at you Relocate to The Stu This is the aftermath Of my labor it's true I'm not favored to lose I won't stop 'Til I got more paper than school I'll hit the stage in a few Praying to Jah like God I'm grateful to you I ain't ever felt this way before Way before It's all I been praying for Prying for Uhh praise the lord
