When going through a situation
You can't never let that situation get you down
Or define your character
Hey

I been in tribulations and I done came across some trials
I been in situation where my back was against the wall
Talk about indignation, say I been treated like a dog
Through it all I had patience, and I stayed faithful to that law
I stood against it all, I stood against it all
Can't let it define me, Yeah
I'm a dying breed, Yeah
I stood against it all, I stood against it all
If you battling like me, I hope you keep fighting yeah

Look I came up out that gutter mane
Born in Memphis Tennessee
Like a diamond in the rough
Ain't no body looked after me
I've been fighting all my life, even in elementary
Satan been tryna take me out, even when I was first conceived
Had to bob and had to weave
Use to keep tricks above my sleeve
Til I found that Holy Spirit
And she gave me quick relief
Pulled me out of them street
Had me fall unto my knees
Begging Ahayah please, keep them spirits off of me
Medicating and fornicating cause I didn't love myself
Found the truth bout the Messiah
Now I got spiritual help
Kept that black flag by my side I wore it like a belt
I know Yashaya died for me, so I ain't by myself
Yeah

I been struggling like everyday
Every day I gotta pray
Got them demons in my face,
Trying hard to shake my faith
On a road to giving up
Nobody checked on me today
That's a battle with my soul
It's like I got no place to go, woe
But I've crying to God
Father God, check my heart
Believing in people ain't been easy
Cause I was bruised and I was scarred
I need your spirit walking with
It gets real up in the field
Cause when you really seeking
And there's one to whip your tears
And everybody say they love you
With no actions words mean nothing
Ain't the type to hold no grudge
If you cross me, still show love
I ain't mad at your actions, if you wondering what it was
Let it out when I'm rapping,
I've been drug through the mud, (Say I been drug through the mud)

If I'm wrong, I'ma say it
I won't blame what you did
I'ma stand against it all
With my back against the wall
Not a baby no more, I'ma run to the kingdom
Not slacking in my work, no I cannot crawl
I'm shoot for the heavens, I ain't talking John Wall
I'm shine my light,
I can't be, letting the wicked world tryna change me
I can't complain, I can't have a stain
I fell in the path, but my life ain't the same
Check it

Our focus the kingdom, my money in heaven
Confess our faults and let our burden be naked
We open for rebuke we a can take correction
I praise Ahayah Baha sham Yashaya

Been called it all, even been came a liar
Repent at me had me singing like Mariah
Gotta get better, I see
Sin against it all, we feed the enemy
Protecting your ministry stealing your beats
Your pray for your neighbor and finding the peace
Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye,
Check It, we ain't living reckless
We change from our ways, now our treasures in heaven
I pray we endure all the pain and the lesson
The coming life going the furnace a blessing
