I never thought God would be so close, I can feel it within my reach
My life say church is on the move though itâs minus the one who preach
They say success will bring you pain, I say struggle and bring the same
I used to fight to duck the rain, going through hell like Iâm in chains
I truly feel this shit in cycle, like Michael, Iâm tryna take flight
The sun donât shine forever, now Iâm like fuck it
Go and give a nigga the right light, hope that Iâm focused
Canât lose my faith and go hopeless, been praying hard, hope God noticed
Iâm on my way, I feel God on this
So close, I canât blow this, told Niko Iâd make her proud
I donât make it, just know I gave it all that I could, one peep facing this crowd
Yeah, I believe just like my grandfather did âfore he passed
They tell me God donât make mistakes, even the time it passed
I just hope I last to see it, my past been a disaster
Got shot once but Iâm still here, my smoke clearing up faster
Yeah, I believe something gonna give and wonât nothing get took away
11/59, excuse me, let me pray
Yeah, Iâm not sure Iâm supposed to ease my pain
This would be my first confession since I got some change
No, I ainât been the same, no, I ainât the same person
How can I shine when all my people hurting?
How can I ride with all these jackals lurking?
How can I say things will be ok when I canât be for certain?
My momma told me she praying for the hope the bread working
I watch the news, look how we do, Iâm thinking lord, have mercy
Yeah, I still think to the chase of fame and rubber bands
Thereâs no excuse for what Iâve done, I know you understand
Iâve been a man in situations I shouldâve stayed a child
But when you young and people dying, it makes it hard to smile
Iâve done enough in the eyes of me, but that ainât enough at all
Before I came to You, I searched, but there was no one to call
Yâall lost things and Iâve lost family in the midst of all this wrath
Still, I lose my faith and Iâm dying to get it back
âCause I believe
