You know, like, ain't nobody, like, take it in, you know, how I wanted it, you know what I'm saying
And, I mean, that shit hurts, but I gotta keep going, you know, like, I wanna be inspiration for, for other People, You know, but, you know
But, it's like, shit ain't easy, you know, I know it's a lot, that I'm sacrificing, but, I only know one way, that's to keep going
You ain't want me to rise, you wanted me to fold,
Now I'm the greatest story ever told
From the projects my mother lived, playing around with other kids
Learning them how them Southerns did, now we know how Southerns live
It was honeysuckles off them trees, pig feet walking streets, berries off them bushes, Sega Genesis
When I sit and reminisce
When I sit and reminisce, I think of this
Before all them loans, my mom was by herself in them saxophone homes
Columbia was hell, but she had us go to church
I was in the choir, learning to acquire, never to retire
Car rear-ended, back bicycle tire, could've been a scene, man, that's when I seen that defeat
Weren't meant for me
That's when I knew, my father protected me, when my father neglected me, that's how it just felt, you see
Raining on that day, I was running from the pain
When I crossed that intersection, and they hit me in that lane,
I was laying, my mom don't recollect, cause I didn't tell her shit,
I just popped up, picked up my bike
Not a scratch on me, could've ended my life
God has plans for me, that's why I picked up my bike
Second chances, I never lose, I only learn lessons from my fights
They ain't want me to rise, they wanted me to fold
They ain't want me to rise, they wanted me to fold
They ain't want me to rise, they wanted me to fold
They ain't want me to rise, they wanted me to fold
Now I'm the greatest story ever told
Present day, I still learn from my mistakes
Current state, I put all my trust in faith
I love you father, I know this is your place
Love you all, cause I know no other way
Just a man that still knows to say his grace over everything
No I'm not no saint, but on everything
I fight till my dying day, with God on my side, you count me out
I'ma live forever
I'll
Outlast the clout
I'll, outlast the drought
I'll weather the storm
Cause it hits, every summer, them hurricanes, I learned to nurture pain
You only grow with pain, so bring them growing pains
And I apologize for what I put you through
I'm still great in spite of my mistakes
I'm worthy of forgiveness, won't ask for your forgiveness
Do what's in your heart
I'm only pure, 50 Genesis
They ain't want me to rise, they wanting me to fold
They ain't want me to rise, they wanting me to fold
They ain't want me to rise, they wanting me to fold
They ain't want me to rise, they wanting me to fold
Now I'm the greatest story ever told
