[Verse 1]

Lately I've been down bad

Thinkin' all these moments how the time pass

Flippin' through these pictures on my phone

Most of my heathens are gone

Did I lead 'em down the wrong path?

'Cause I feel the pressure like it's all on me

Don't let me tell that I do good under pressure

Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

No vomit 'cause Mom ain't here to cook some spaghetti

Thinkin' of makin' moves that make you dizzy

Lord, can you please take these thoughts from me?

Kingdom mighty, but don't take Your presence from me

Fame, got Jesus, but ain't got peace

But my homies do away wit' a track, they carry heat when it's hairy

I ain't talkin' Halloween when I say that it's scary

Try to tell 'em 'bout Jesus, they out here prayin' to Mary


[Chorus]

I'm in the valley of the shadow of death

But I know God orchestratin' my steps

So when I step, I'ma smile

Yeah, it's been a while since I laid my burdens down

I pray to God 'cause I need His presence now

Satan tryin', but he know I'm not his child, yeah

In forty days, I done went through all my trials

Got my treasures stored in heaven, got a house

Found God in the storm, that's what it's 'bout, yeah


[Verse 2]

I got pressure that's pressin' on every side

You know I got the keys, my homies ain't down to ride

'Cause even in the mornin' I'm seein' the mornin' light

Trust in God, but keep fightin'

I see Satan fall down like lightnin'

God got him shook, yeah, he frightened

Tryna give me the Lord's ring, that's enticin', but I ain't bitin'

You try to separate me from the love of God

Tribulation and peril, can't even tell us apart

I rock wit' the Rock of Ages, He call me the son of God

I'm rockin' after the Spirit, the Spirit is my reward

Trust in God, but keep fightin'

Satan think he slick, but I roll wit' a group of heathens

We equipped, left side, strong ties

Hope you remember the titans

To fall for Satan's lies 'til the day I got enlightened

But I'm up now, so what's up now?

I learned obedience through the pain

Then it became a weapon that I can bust now

Took my shame and traded it in for change

I'm a servant of the Lord, I'm really up now, yeah

So even if I'm in this valley of death

I know God orchestratin' my steps

So when I step, I'ma smile


[Chorus]

I'm in the valley of the shadow of death

But I know God orchestratin' my steps

So when I step, I'ma smile

Yeah, it's been a while since I laid my burdens down

I pray to God 'cause I need His presence now

Satan tryin', but he know I'm not his child, yeah

In forty days, I done went through all my trials

Got my treasures stored in heaven, got a house

Found God in the storm, that's what it's 'bout, yeah
