I Did It

Story of my life I was raised in the hard times Friends of mine doing hard time San Ramon on the fault lines Love of God made it alright Even still it was a hard fight Father said we had to pray to get the things we wanted That became a way of life I was just a kid, learning how to live, learning what to put my faith in Watching Daddy try, watching Mama cry, steady running out of patience I remember fighting for the house and my mama tryna make the payments I was never fed by a silver spoon boy we barely even had stainless It was a fight every day it was a struggle Tryna pay the bills, tryna make it as a couple Tryna keep it as a family, tryna keep it all subtle Tryna keep myself pure, tryna keep myself humble I remember nights where I cried myself to sleep Only 14 when I first had the dream Could have been on my own, coulda been on the streets But the Lord got me through he supplied all my needs And I'm not gonna say that it's perfect, it's not Cuz I'm still human sometimes I forgot That on my own there's nothing I got My worth is in purposed service to God And I still stumble sometimes I fall But He picks me up and answers my call So I gave my life to live for the cause And if you don't know why I did it at all Let me tell you right now I did it for anyone struggling to make it through life (Yeah, Yeah) I did it for anyone fighting to get through the night (Yeah, Yeah) I did it for anyone thinking they couldn't survive (Yeah, Yeah) I did it for anyone falling to show 'em the light (Yeah, Yeah) I did it for anyone struggling to make it through life (Yeah, Yeah) I did it for anyone fighting to get through the night (Yeah, Yeah) I did it for anyone thinking they couldn't survive (Yeah, Yeah) I did it for y’all, I did it for Christ (Yeah) Thinking about it the whole day I'm thinking hard 'bout the old days I left my pride at my old place Buried away in a cold space I followed my heart through the whole race I'm tryna not to fall to my old ways Asking Jesus can you hold me?
