All glory to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
When it come to my God, you know I'm gon' rep
Where you from? The Midwest, I'm just a kid from the steppes
Grown man now, so you gotta show me respect

Even though these oppressors try to keep their foot on my neck, I would never neglect
The chance I get to succeed, reflect
My God is my ace, but I always shuffle the deck
He muffles the threat, I'm all in

Up with the bat, off like a jet
Whether the hood or the projects, I spit logic
But I ain't trying to record me a song
But dying how long

When my spirit still remains strong
And lying in calm, please don't call me the don
Because John will have you with a needle to the arm
Thinking it's all bond, but slowly you're being drawn

Away from the Lord because the devil, he's a con
Don't be a pawn, only the Lord Jesus know what I'm on
My Lord is coming back, sign me a loan
Yeah, everybody, anybody

He thought it was all good, then he left the party
Then the folks outside met him with a shotty
Yeah, everybody, anybody
He thought it was all good, then he left the party

Then the folks outside met him with a shotty
Yeah, listen to these words, what I tell you is true
Maybe it's you, trying to paint a perfect picture
Can you tell me the view

Either way it go, I'm going to get my issue
The Lord Jesus, yeah, made me official
The old man Danny gone
Boy, we ain't going to miss you

I came from a block where everybody had a pistol
So the tension was always high
I went to school to pay attention
And now I look you straight in the eyes

Now you can read between the lines
I outran crime and every quick dollar sign
Lord have mercy on a heart like mine
Let the light shine, it's about time

With every mountain that I climb
With every spirit that I bind
I know with the Lord on my side, I'll be fine
Lord, I love you with all my heart, soul, strength, and mind

Yeah
You know my testimony
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody, anybody

He thought it was all good, then he left the party
Then the folks outside met him with a shotty
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody, anybody

He thought it was all good, then he left the party
Then the folks outside met him with a shotty
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody, anybody

He thought it was all good, then he left the party
Then the folks outside met him with a shotty
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody, anybody

He thought it was all good, then he left the party
Then the folks outside met him with a shotty
Then the folks outside met him with a shotty
