Who thought I’d make it this far

[Verse 1: Sevin]

I just got the word that they heard I had a story to tell

Born into the world that is scorned and is glorious hell

How I managed to last from the night until the morning

What it took to become the man that now stands before ‘em

I write ya’ll this letter blood sweat tears on a feather

Candle burns slow as it glows off the Beretta

I’m cloaked in all black with that 8 pound leather

Listening to the sounds of the pounds of this weather

I threads through cemeteries and the memories pass

I see only by the grace of God in which I laugh

But picture me mourning

Silence envelopes these catacombs

I’ve probably got the 6th sense all I see is flooded domes

What difference does it make where I’m from we get it crackin’

Learn how to load a Mack-10 before fractions

It’s closed captioned out here deaf, blind and dumb

Fool this is the slum, everybody’s time has come

It’s just the good die quicker cuz they’re slower to kill

And it’s colder than steel being a soldier for real

And for all those that hear this better take it to heart

Cuz I swear I had no plans to make it this far

[Chorus: Sevin]

(Who thought I’d make it this far)

So far to come

So far to go

Till Your will be done

Guard my soul

Please grant me time to seek Your face

The Lord is my shepherd

Keep me safe

(I never woulda made it on my own)

[Verse 2: Sevin]

They want to know what it’s like on these tantrum streets

Where these phantoms sleep

With no mercy something cursed me with the worst beat

In a random week

Uh, remember them nights when I wasn’t feeling a meal

And it was willing to feel

So if I was fitting to steal you know I was willing to kill

Everyday fits

Sleeping with cockroaches

Hard as a rock as I covered the block with a Glock cocked posted

A cut throat and I’m off that bud smoke

In the hood where every thug’s broke

Teflon slugs cloaked

The life of an outcast none filling my shoes

Walkin with a crowbar never had a hope

Our life was so hard and I wasn’t fittin’ to lose

Down to die for the block I was enforcin’

Lost soul

Parents probably wishin’ they had an abortion

I was heaven sent but still hell bound

Sick affection for the way the shells sound

I thank the Lord my life was never in my hands

Cuz seein’ 18 was never in my plans

[Chorus: Sevin]

(Who thought I’d make it this far)

So far to come

So far to go

Till Your will be done

Guard my soul

Please grant me time to seek Your face

The Lord is my shepherd

Keep me safe

(I never woulda made it on my own)

[Verse 3: Sevin]

You better know the ghetto’s too true

We keep plexiglass beneath the FUBU

The jealous will shoot you

That’s the reality I’m used to

What would you do out here

Knowin the streets stalking

Your partners outlined in chalk

In the same spot that ya’ll was talking

Keep walking in death and the grave calls for us

Curse spits the verse but the corpse blows the chorus

I find it painful to backtrack

Cuz all I remember seeing is crack sack backpacks

Full of black straps

Sicc-town get down raised up

In a world caged up strapped down blazed up

All I had was my dreams of fast CREAM

So the crystals hit the beam with a scheme

For stats bling on glass sheen

Fast green flash aggression the mMack sings

Never thought I’d be out here pursuing this rap thing

Chosen within give a toast to my friends cuz most of them sin

Folks in the pen soaking and grim

Now they ghosts in the wind

Rituals before my tip the tonic

Never learning from the sermon when you’re blown off chronic

Lord bless those that guided me Sicc-town to the bay

And forgive those before me that never found they way

It’s all day

[Chorus: Sevin]

(Who thought I’d make it this far)

So far to come

So far to go

Till Your will be done

Guard my soul

Please grant me time to seek Your face

The Lord is my shepherd

Keep me safe

(I never woulda made it on my own)

I never thought that I would find

You give me peace of mind

You fill me up You fill me up

We give up when all is gone

But You keep me holding on

Give me Your love
