I Made It

[Hook]
I know you see me smiling
But if I could take you on a journey rewinded
You'd see the really dark days behind me
You would understand the joy that's deep inside me
You'd see that I made it
(When they counted me down and out)
You'd see that I made it

[Verse 1]
Harsh verbage had me buckled down on one knee
The false verdicts caused the critics to surround me
Stones in they hands and malice in they eyes
Been waiting on this moment as they yell out battle cries, they was saying:
"Off with his head, this sanctified menace
The gavel's landed so let's carry out the sentence
The reverend's seed they gonna spread out bad weeds
This damaged bruised fruit has fallen far from the tree"
But little did they know I had a praying, praying mama
And my father named me Junior, so I'll lead you through the drama
Was raised from the womb to have all reverence for the Abba
And taught to flee from nonsense to the everlasting [?]
What you see standing right before your face is a
A dead man walking raised in never ending grace
The prayers of the righteous pierce the clouds in the skies
And the Almighty answered in my favor on high

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Now, don't get me wrong
Was no angel, wrath coming from the womb
My own hands digging dirt, cement for the tomb
Could have been gone real soon, high noon for this character
Noose dangling for trying to massacre the messenger
A steady blister, extorts, liar, and a cheat
Nicknamed Fabric Softener cause I stayed in some sheets
Yeah that was me, no shame in my game
The dice could have rolled the other way, chained to my shame
(Repeat the story)
The very thing that was used to put me down
That turned a young timid boy into a clown
Would get me ready for that day to wear a crown
And rest in glory, brothers sisters all around
What was meant for my destruction paved way for my good
And His good and perfect work will pan out like it should
So be encouraged, life's given by his words, and He's stated
That He's already done it and we've already made it

[Hook x2]
