Verse 1

When I record this track, I wanna believe what I spat

That God has got my back and lay my truth on wax

As I grow up now, I look back fondly on my past:

Pre M.L.T, before the cynicism and the raps

Bible verses on my tongue, back then I could do no wrong

Spiritually strong, a crusader among the throng

But right about now, I could barely read a psalm

I see no wrong questioning Jesus’s palms

Sitting in the pews at church, watching the preacher do his thing

Pretending murmurings don’t bubble in my head like submarines

Sequestered in sin, looked at my dusty Bible and felt a twinge

Of guilt, I’ve lost my faith in the dream

Of paradise, let me clarify

For every virtue of mine, there’s a scary vice

I need to clear my eyes and feel his vibe

Resting not within my mind, but instead my heart

What they’ve fed me all this time was just a pack of lies

And finally, I’ve come to realize…

Chorus

When it comes to being true, he’s true to me…

One thing I’ve found, one thing I’ve found

Oh, he’ll never let me down…

Verse 2

Perhaps my loss of faith stems from the people around me

Who drink from the fountain of the supposedly enlightened

That ironically deplore everything that could frighten

Them: so called freed minds who’ve seen light so they decline

Any chance to rewind and see what matters in life

Nah it’s live life to the fullest and never think back

The problem is this creates nihilistic tendencies

In simple English, that’s a carefree attitude about everything

See what I think is, we all realize something’s missing

But some try to cover it up by claiming to think different

And shove it down our throats by the TV or what we’re listening

And what bothers me is not enough people are speaking

Out about it, I’m tired of being the butt

Of your jokes, cause I know what happens when the lid is shut

We either take a stand or get trampled in the dust

This is not the first time they’ve tried to keep us shut

Or tune us out, tell me what makes a good man’s people

Send him to be crucified in exchange for one so evil?

Their tactics might have changed but their goal remains the same

And as Christians, we ought to rise above the refrain

Get up off our couch and walk the lane

Those before shed their blood for to keep the faith

Sometimes I feel lost but God always picks me up

Because simply put, I know he’ll never let me down!

Ending

It’s almost surreal to think about now

But awhile ago

I was failing AP Calculus

And you can’t fail an AP course, especially in your senior year

I wasn’t going to graduate… just because of one class!

Obviously it hit me hard… I spent weeks in a daze

Depressed and sleepy, pessimistic and suicidal

It seemed with each test, I was digging a deeper hole for myself

And having always been good at Math, I wouldn’t call for help

Till by the grace of God, my mom came to visit

She knew in her heart, that something was wrong

And through prayer and hard work, I was victorious

An A- letter grade in my 4th quarter

And even though at the time I rejected God

He never stopped showering me with love

And now I’ve learnt humility

Like the song says HE NEVER LET ME DOWN

I need to clear my eyes and feel his vibe

Resting not within my mind, but instead my heart
