Verse I:
Its hard to make it happen when
im stuck in a mess
its like a race but
iam runnin out breath
What am i fueled on
have I been fooled on
if i fail,
they say I'll never move on
who am i tryin to impress?
actin like the rest, cant confess
my sins leave me restless with nothin left
thats when i gotta dive deep in side my own soul
take whats left and start again walkin on this lone road
my girls with me, and really she'll go with me
but where i'm going is some where far where Lord Hit me
climbed to the top of the world, and ripped my chains off
told the devil no more and made him scratch my name off
-----his list,
took back my gift
so now its mine---- i lift
my eyes to the sky----
hold back the tears,
but can't help to cry
i'll struggle with this sin with this sin
till the day that i die

Hook:
As I am, so take me as I am
I said Now
I'm tryna be a man
but really cryin dont make me understand
what if i die and never reach my plans
At least i know I tried best
so take me as i am x2

Verse II:
Ima thank you Jesus Christ
for every gift you gave me
my life, this mic
so every day i'll praise thee
the devil he can't faze me
I fight him on the daily
my struggle is like a war
never ending tryna break me
but I, keep on lifting my hands up im needing strength
i, keep on praying and askin to get a break,
i, feel my troubles pile up cant take the wieght
i, try to do my best dont want to become a fail-ya
many nights i would sit back and ponder
how my life would be if i continued on the
search for the money and the stardom
lost in my sin lust and greed thats a problem
dont want-a, end up in the fire
with lucifer the liar
Christ came for you, and he's walkin right beside ya
I came to rhyme, to witness of the Messiah
born again, im born to win,
born again im born to win

Hook:
As I am, so take me as I am
I said Now
I'm tryna be a man
but really cryin dont make me understand
what if i try and i never reach my plans
At least i know I tried best
so take me as i am x2

Verse III:
On my struggle i keep on walking
keep on fallen and crawlin right back to the top where i find my callin
to serve the LORD a way of rhymin it was timin that brought me to the point of almost die'n
sufficated couldn't breath his holy spirit hogg tied my hands and feet, i couldn't make my thru the fogg i could not see.
waited for the day that he would rescue me
hooked on the party, bacardi spending all my hard earned money
to just satisfy my cravings, didn't care that jesus saved me
if i had stayed at church
i wouldn't have had to grow thru all this hurt
all of this
im positive that what he did for us
was our fathers gift
the SIN .............................it didn't faze me
i still did what i wanted.... but he saved me
it never really mattered.... that he saved me
his blood shed on cross ...... where he saved me

Bridge:
In order for me to live I have to give my life Up/
So every tim I rhyme I life the name of Christ up
Jesus, I need just, the strength to fight the side of me
that wants to rebel againts your holiness
show me which words to rhyme and speak on these beats
cuz I'll only spit/ rhymes to glorify your son
on the throne he sits
Your worthy of all praise Righteous is your nature
Sent your son for us to pay a heavy wager
our sin had us locked in shackes there was no esacping it
The price of sin was death
& so your Son ended up taking it
but raised up3 days later aint no faking it
the tomb was empty salvation was the gift he gave to men
Im here to witness and testiy of his existence the fool says there is no God
laughin at
