Story behind the song
I just wanted a song that let people know how I came to be who I was. I had actually had it written for a long time but just didnt have a hook, then Tips sent me the track and the rest is history.
Lyrics
It was 1988 when I came out of the womb
September 13, 2 hours till noon
Just a little baby but my innocence soon faded
Got to be older thought that God was over rated
Hated my situation, parents marriage ended
Started using language that left some offended
I just pretended that all was ok
But then I’d cut myself when all slipped away
Scars on my arms, self mutilation
Being full of anger got me in a dangerous situation
No escape was in sight, So I abandoned
Living a full life, started living empty handed
I didn’t want God, I wanted the world
Didn’t want saved, I wanted the girls
But then God knocked on my heart,
I opened up to him but that is jus the start
God’s love rained, when I felt pain
His grace and love, kept me sustained
The road is tough, but it leads to glory
This is my life, this is my story
Being a Christian is easy, never again to cry
That was my mainframe but that was a lie
In that same year, My Uncle Mike almost died
I saw him in ICU, and asked God why?
Was I not cleansed, What did I do?
I said to God, “All Vie ever done is serve you!”
I blamed him, put God under attack
My grandma died and that broke the camel’s back
I met a girl, mistook lust for love
God should’ve been first but I put her above
Lusted with my eyes sin was in my temple
But we broke up, and I saw the solution simple
God gave his son! Just so we could live
I threw out my grudge, chose to forgive
God was in me; my soul was on fire
And I told God to use me wherever he desired
I was fulfilled, just living for Christ
My soul scars were healed and I started to write
Christ gave me a gift, the remix was made
I was living for him; my debts had been paid
Preformed at the Ug, met Regis Jones
An inspiration to my life, more than he will ever know
He got me determined to sharpen my skill
Creating music full fledged in God’s will
Late nights early mornings, producing beats
Any challenge I was handed, God let me meet
My pen was a fountain, for God’s word to be delivered
Writing Cry for Help, God gave me the shivers
Did the talent show, people sang 1,2,3!
All because God’s grace was inside of me
I felt fulfilled, Life had purpose
With him Im priceless, without I was worthless!
