To say I'm not blessed simply would be bologna
I'm still favored even if My life ain't looking rosy
I used to struggle mackin' on da girls word to Toby
I was given 2 parental figures living holy
Everything I say and do for Christ is what they showed me
Every single time I made mistakes they would hold me
Taught me how to grind and never let it get cozy
Then you'll surely see who is real and who is phony
I was blessed to grow up safe this my testimony
I was shielded from the streets shielded from the dopey's
In certain ways I was winning but without the trophy
In my boat I got to row Mo but I'm not Tony
Could've easily been caught up in that fast life
Sellin' tree sellin' rocks you know that fast life
Died once now I'm not livin' my past life
Then the Lord will take me home I guess I pass twice
Listen to what I'm saying I'm no better than you
According to the world I'm pose to be another number
I'm pose to be locked up or six feet under
In my cell is where I lay my head and get my slumber
But I refuse to let the world consume me in its colors
I look to God when I need filling got a different hunger
The world is being fed with feces man we need a plumber
I'mma stand on the Bible that's word to my brother

Mike why do you always talk bout God why don't you talk about the money and the fast Cars?
I tell 'em I'm gonna stand behind these bars give my dogs truth so they ain't standing Behind bars
But Mike everything you talk about is subpar why don't you talk about the money and The fast cars?
I tell 'em I'm gonna stand behind these bars give my dogs truth so they ain't standing Behind bars

I had a little homie come up to me in the school
He looked me in my eyes like I was a simple fool
He asked me Mr. Meredith why did you become a teacher
You making no bread you're not cool
I told him that I'm rockin' with the sports and with the youth
And that small interaction is why I'm in the booth
Little black boys thinkin' that there's certain rules
Beatin' in they heads a certain way they gotta prove
I'mma take a moment to speak directly to you
I know it's hard when you see dudes just like me and you
On the court on the field on the mic making mills
Now you're thinking that's the only way to make it through
Makin' money makin' impact are not synonymous
The opportunities to make a life are simply bottomless
Makin' a life is leaving people with the positive
Even though the world will tell you something of the opposite
This is why I try to be a mentor and a teacher
Thankin' God everyday that I'm not on the bleachers
Praise God and love people yeah I got procedures
I'm just thankful that I'm saved now I'm a believer
Praise the Lord that I'm not living the street life
Praise the Lord I'm in a position to change lives
I hope you see that when you're listening to these rhymes
That I can't live for myself this life is not mine

Mike why do you always talk bout God why don't you talk about the money and the fast Cars?
I tell 'em I'm gonna stand behind these bars give my dogs truth so they ain't standing Behind bars
But Mike everything you talk about is subpar why don't you talk about the money and The fast cars?
I tell 'em I'm gonna stand behind these bars give my dogs truth so they ain't standing Behind bars
