Rezurrection
Who thought I’d make it this far
[Verse 1: Sevin]
I just got the word that they heard I had a story to tell
Born into the world that is scorned and is glorious hell
How I managed to last from the night until the morning
What it took to become the man that now stands before ‘em
I write ya’ll this letter blood sweat tears on a feather
Candle burns slow as it glows off the Beretta
I’m cloaked in all black with that 8 pound leather
Listening to the sounds of the pounds of this weather
I threads through cemeteries and the memories pass
I see only by the grace of God in which I laugh
But picture me mourning
Silence envelopes these catacombs
I’ve probably got the 6th sense all I see is flooded domes
What difference does it make where I’m from we get it crackin’
Learn how to load a Mack-10 before fractions
It’s closed captioned out here deaf, blind and dumb
Fool this is the slum, everybody’s time has come
It’s just the good die quicker cuz they’re slower to kill
And it’s colder than steel being a soldier for real
And for all those that hear this better take it to heart
Cuz I swear I had no plans to make it this far
[Chorus: Sevin]
(Who thought I’d make it this far)
So far to come
So far to go
Till Your will be done
Guard my soul
Please grant me time to seek Your face
The Lord is my shepherd
Keep me safe
(I never woulda made it on my own)
[Verse 2: Sevin]
They want to know what it’s like on these tantrum streets
Where these phantoms sleep
With no mercy something cursed me with the worst beat
In a random week
Uh, remember them nights when I wasn’t feeling a meal
And it was willing to feel
So if I was fitting to steal you know I was willing to kill
Everyday fits
Sleeping with cockroaches
Hard as a rock as I covered the block with a Glock cocked posted
A cut throat and I’m off that bud smoke
In the hood where every thug’s broke
Teflon slugs cloaked
The life of an outcast none filling my shoes
Walkin with a crowbar never had a hope
Our life was so hard and I wasn’t fittin’ to lose
Down to die for the block I was enforcin’
Lost soul
Parents probably wishin’ they had an abortion
I was heaven sent but still hell bound
Sick affection for the way the shells sound
I thank the Lord my life was never in my hands
Cuz seein’ 18 was never in my plans
[Chorus: Sevin]
(Who thought I’d make it this far)
So far to come
So far to go
Till Your will be done
Guard my soul
Please grant me time to seek Your face
The Lord is my shepherd
Keep me safe
(I never woulda made it on my own)
[Verse 3: Sevin]
You better know the ghetto’s too true
We keep plexiglass beneath the FUBU
The jealous will shoot you
That’s the reality I’m used to
What would you do out here
Knowin the streets stalking
Your partners outlined in chalk
In the same spot that ya’ll was talking
Keep walking in death and the grave calls for us
Curse spits the verse but the corpse blows the chorus
I find it painful to backtrack
Cuz all I remember seeing is crack sack backpacks
Full of black straps
Sicc-town get down raised up
In a world caged up strapped down blazed up
All I had was my dreams of fast CREAM
So the crystals hit the beam with a scheme
For stats bling on glass sheen
Fast green flash aggression the mMack sings
Never thought I’d be out here pursuing this rap thing
Chosen within give a toast to my friends cuz most of them sin
Folks in the pen soaking and grim
Now they ghosts in the wind
Rituals before my tip the tonic
Never learning from the sermon when you’re blown off chronic
Lord bless those that guided me Sicc-town to the bay
And forgive those before me that never found they way
It’s all day
[Chorus: Sevin]
(Who thought I’d make it this far)
So far to come
So far to go
Till Your will be done
Guard my soul
Please grant me time to seek Your face
The Lord is my shepherd
Keep me safe
(I never woulda made it on my own)
I never thought that I would find
You give me peace of mind
You fill me up You fill me up
We give up when all is gone
But You keep me holding on
Give me Your love
