Transcript / Lyrics

Saved

I can't hold on, they can't hold me back,
I got trouble in my mind Lord I'm on the grind
Went from change n broke, to pockets all fat,
From the dark I resigned to the light I refined
Everything I do I do this legitimate
I wouldn't do nothing that didn't have You in it
If it's not from You then I ain't pursuing it
This nasty lifestyle, I'm just so thru with it

Praise... the Lord... I'm free..
He came into the world,
to seek and to save me.

So many fakers prayin for my downfall
They call me bruda when no one's around at all
They say they love me but their hearts be cold
No matter how they do it, your love stays bold
Don't need no drinks, no drugs, no cigarettes
I only speak life, drink life, got no regrets
Hustlin's got a different, outlook for me,
Slanging my songs at the age of 43
I used to have a crew that would back my play
Now I got the Lord and He's never far away
We reach out in the dark, like a sparkly spark
Bringing light to the world, and a heart to heart
Given mass hope, big love, and charity
So even in the dark they see You with clarity
Show em how ta live and preach if ya need to
People know a faker cus the light's so see thru

Praise... the Lord... I'm free..
He came into the world,
to seek and to save me.

Evil ways betrays the thoughts of better days
Transformation begins in the trap of the brain
The words of life start makin ya feel better
Life is easy when yer goin with a go getter
See the man with no shoes on his feet,
No clothes on his back, no money to go eat
I want you to go bless him with your money
Buy him a meal, in the land of milk n honey
While other people be turnin their heads away
Take him ta church singing Trust and Obey
Shower him with kindness, and give him grace
He'll never forget I can see it on his face
Now he's singin a new song, walkin a new walk
Seein with new eyes, and speakin a new talk
Nowadays he's doin the same thing
He shows God's love, and this is the song he sings.

Praise... the Lord... I'm free..
He came into the world,
to seek and to save me.

I can't hold on, they can't hold me back,
I got trouble in my mind Lord I'm on the grind
Went from change and broke to pockets all fat,
From the dark I resigned to the light I refined
Everything I do I do this legitimate
I wouldn't do nothing that didn't have You in it
If it's not from You then I ain't pursuing it
This nasty lifestyle, I'm just so thru with it

Praise... the Lord... I'm free..
He came into the world,
to seek and to save me.
