Artist bio

I'm a saved man who's been where you've been or been where you're at. I've battled poverty, violence in the streets, and drug abuse. I've been the one at times with all the money and as time went on God allowed my selfish ways to break me down to the point where I was the borrower and an addict. God has always been there even when I didn't know it and He is doing things in my life that I could not do for myself. My failures have led to my victories, my wrong turns have turned into the best things that have happened to me. My pain has become my purpose. Grace replaced my scars and there's more, alot more and I pray God will allow us to cross paths one day. Until then know this, when you feel like you have fallen so far down that you can't get back up and the only thing you can do is look up, know right then and there in that moment that it's not an accident and God has appointed that very moment for you to get to know Him better! In Jesus Christ mighty name, hallelujah and amen!!!!!!!

Transcript / Lyrics

Ephesians 6:12 says for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places amen let's go
riding round the city with a spirit full of hope once upon a time it was a baggie full of dope spirit man inside was kinda weals and kinda broke but had no other way to get it ain't no way I'm going broke so look I'm grinding to the finish never knew repentance all about myself and only wickedness and sinning devil had me tripping thin king I was on a mission only focusing on winning wasn't no joy behind the grinning I was caught up in a lie thinking I'mma die til my God spoke and then he opened up my eyes told me bout his son and how he sent him down to die called me his beloved and the apple of his eye that's when he got my attention did I fail to mention I was out the game like he put me on the bench and now I'm in the fire and look all my teeth clenching middle of the flames like it aint no way to quench it I was going crazy til I heard the name that name I heard was Jesus said that he could bring me back to life and that pain look he could ease it so now I wave the white flag and give respect to my dad he pulled me out the fire that's why I give hime all that I have
