[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

Throw your hands in the sky if you ain’t afraid to fight, yeah

Hey, hey, hey

Throw your hands in the sky if you been blinded by the light like Paul to Damascus

Old life abandoned

Lord wiped the damage, He more white than canvas

Surprised?

No He planned it

Timing is immaculate

Must’ve hit rewind the way the guys and I are backing it


[Verse 1]

We back in it like soldiers (Woo)

Running ‘midst the trees, I see a demon then it’s over (Bow)

Send him back to Satan like an engine from Toyota

Running forever

Christ can calm the storm so I can conquer any weather

I can confidently say there ain’t a thing that I could do

To earn grace, but I display it by distributing the truth

Since a young’n I been taught like the chronology of letters

Alpha bet on Christ and the reward was never better, nah


[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

So throw your hands in the sky if you ain’t afraid to fight, yeah

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, throw your hands in the sky if you been blinded by the light like Paul to Damascus

Old life abandoned

Lord wiped the damage, He more white than canvas

Surprised?

No He planned it

Timing is immaculate

Must’ve hit rewind the way the guys and I are backing it


[Verse 2]

If is name is G-O-D, then He the boss of DOJ

No matter what the devil say, the verdict lie in Jesus name

They accusing me, so what?

The battle ended at the cross

I see the devil really wounded, Jesus said to add the salt, huh!

Yeah, so best believe I’ll add the salt

What the Lion and the Lamb can do to evil, that’s assault

Man these chains are really heavy, Jesus said “I’ll take ‘em off”

Now the only chain my body got the one that hang the cross

I hope you realize the significance

A symbol of my freedom, I can testify I witnessed it

Used to be a slave to man, imprisoned by my different sins

Jesus saved my life and I can see He making differences

Now the only difference is I’m still a sinner

But I know I can’t detoxify enough to be deserving, but my God has deemed me worth it

So I stopped believing I could even work to break the surface

Now I rest assured and praise the One who conquered all these curses, let me worship


[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

So throw your hands in the sky if you ain’t afraid to fight, yeah

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, throw your hands in the sky if you been blinded by the light like Paul to Damascus

Old life abandoned

Lord wiped the damage, He more white than canvas

Surprised?

No He planned it

Timing is immaculate

Must’ve hit rewind the way the guys and I are backing it


[Verse 3]

Running home like batter up, don’t have to make me mad enough

I really do this with a passion

Passing up on adding up the cash and chasing bigger bags

I’m busy filling mine with sand, so I survive and learn to stand when I see times are getting tough

Work on my resistance training

I resist the ever-draining expectations they apply to rap to deem it entertaining

I ain’t with the drug bars and totin’ weapons, that ain’t me

Half of y’all could say the same, although you all pretend to be, h1old on

Yeah

Y’all make everything the truth

Only one way to Heaven, y’all apparently confused

Walk a mile in His shoes, y’all couldn’t even put the socks on

Ain’t a single person I would get up on that cross for

Especially not some people who refuse to give an encore

That should prove to you that there’s a God who loves His children that He sent His Son to die for

Ain’t no need to claim the crown, I know the King and He recruited me to send the message out


[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

So throw your hands in the sky if you ain’t afraid to fight, yeah

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, throw your hands in the sky if you been blinded by the light like Paul to Damascus

Old life abandoned

Lord wiped the damage, He more white than canvas

Surprised?

No He planned it

Timing is immaculate

Must’ve hit rewind the way the guys and I are backing it (Blinded by the light)
