VERSE 1
As a lil kid, I had the mind to shine, Rooted in faith
Before I understood the grind, drippin in grace (mmm, yea)
Face to face with the reality that I might not make it
Young, black and gifted so many lives are takеn
But still, (yea)
I had the foresight to go forth right?
Dеaling with all the drama, uh
Before the commas, uh
Once, we were in common with the same perspective
Before you clotted, plotted on me with a different objective (Oh,oh)
But still, I kept the focus with the same directive
& beat the odds when I changed direction
Governed by God many times I pray for you
That things go okay for you, see I'm built different
The lessons you learn in life can shape your future
Blessings earned in life, is for you to bless the future (yea)
But it’s, something about greed that clouds the vision (Ooo)
When the vision was to save the children, (Oh) open your eyes
See I'm born again

CHORUS
I am born again, [I was]
Cause I believe in him, [I Believe]
I was full of sin, [I was]
But now I'm free from it [cause He]
Cause he took it Away [He took it]
He took it Away [Yes] - [He took it] -
He took it Away - [He took it] -[I'm so Glad that He] -
He took it Away (took it awaaaay) -
He took it Away - Yea
He took it Away - He Took I'm so glad that He
He took it Away -
He took it Away

VERSE 2
Visine can't clear it, (no, no, no, no, no, no) when the stench is in your spirit
Variants makes it hard for your soul to get near it
No delta, seek shelter, let the elders pull you from the smelter
I ain't fighting I'm just writing, Cause I’m past that (hey)
That rock life ain’t the rock life if you don't rock right (oh)
Cause in the spotlight that rock life will make you rot life
He died for me, push through the pain to ride for me
Washed in the blood, through the mud so I can be
Face to face with evil I protect the steeple
And let the bells ring hallelujah to free my people
Pushing purpose, below the surface as I Wade the water
Lay down the burdens Unashamed to claim my father
Beaten and broken, believing and hoping, I’m keepin the focus
The meek will be chosen, deep from the ocean, I speak with emotion
Baptized and, steeped in devotion, was capsized but belief kept me floatin
I believe, I believe, I am born

CHORUS
I am born again, (I Am)
Cause I believe in him, (I Believe)
I was full of sin, (I Was)
But now I'm free from it (Yeah)
Cause he took it Away (he took it)
He took it Away (Yes he did) - (he took it) -
He took it Away - (he took it) -(I'm so Glad that he) -
He took it Away (took it awaaaay) -
He took it Away -
He took it Away -
He took it Away
He took it Away

And He'll take yours too
