Through the Fire

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem So the LORD is round about his people From henceforth even for ever For the rod of the wicked Shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous Lest the righteous put forth their hands Unto iniquity Aye When my soul was saved, I felt flames I'm glad that he paid that price In an endless game with the tugs This war didn't see resolution It never sufficed Spent time on accusing but never took time To admit that my moves Weren't done in his light Needed his love, looked up to the sky Prayed to the Lord it was getting me by Then I hopped on the music Well the truth it's Oh so soothing a food for the mind Not perfect but we do edify I felt worthless it was you who arrived They put surplus of the truth in a lie For subservience and correction I still question If I'm showing the fruits In the manner my Lord's expecting Still I'm stepping On concrete it's a blessing That life hasn't passed me yet If, it's not pressing I'll show something that's pressing The hoods full of darker steppes Pray for the lesson In conflict and oppression The strongest can pass this quest Back in the day we would laugh and jest On the stomping grounds Where my dargs lay rest Struggled to eat take half take less Or More so that was plan Till we had dreams of the placements Smiles on faces Feeling like I was the man If it's a risk I'd take it All for the changes Knew we could make this bang Whether it's booth on street Or the concrete basements Still we came outta the sand Cause Sometimes I think and question All of them nights could never explain And I've seen the good turn wretched Fall for the mammon And die for the pay It's always the truth that's hidden They say good riddance To hide that shame Mentals different I gotta new vision I'm blessed cause The Lords got me in his grace And they used to watch man Destined for a short life Until I made change And I've seen the Lord use Wretched sickening souls To hallow his name It's always the truth that's written The good word given To rise through pain Mentals different I gotta new vision I'm blessed Cause the Lord's Brought me through the flames We was young and dumb With a vision of vengeance Bro got slapped with the longest sentence To think it was all for a loving intention A lovestruck kid misled by a temptress Jugg and repentance He seek for redemption It Seems the resentments gone If you knew all the things he'd done To collect them ps You'd say he was wrong Intentions pure The Directions strong But it's seems that the soul's intact Cause we seek when them man try find And we speak when them man try chat I spent weeks tryna buy some time It's not bleak when your minds intact These Perilous feats Keep me out the streets a deciding fact Sometimes I think and question All of them nights could never explain And I've seen the good turn wretched Fall for the mammon And die for the pay It's always the truth that's hidden They say good riddance to hide that shame Mentals different I gotta new vision I'm blessed Cause the Lords got me in his grace And they used to watch man destined For a short life until I made change And I seen the Lord use wretched Sickening souls to hallow his name It's always the truth that's written The good word given to rise through pain Mentals different I gotta new vision I'm blessed Cause the Lord's brought Me through the flames
