I Will Succeed

[Verse 1]
Hey, yo, I will succeed, 'cause if God be for me, who against me
Turn my enemies into mincemeat, y'all can't offend me
'Cause I seen it all, done it all, heard it all
Been a couple years, y'all ain't seen me on the curb at all
I've been working, grinding, moving
Losing myself in this music, choosing
The road less traveled, gunshots and gavels
They in my past, dawg, I'm ahead of my class
But not without struggle, not without trouble
Not without a whole lot of manure to shovel
Every day, another brother telling me he on my level
But he ain't never been face to face with the devil
I'm a Tunnel Rat, dawg, I got lines that embed in your brain
I'm a Christian, I got Scripture that settle your pain
I'm just skin and bones, homie, I can sin like the rest
But God saw my status and his work became flesh

[Chorus]
Walk through the fire, the evil that men do (Come on)
Dawg, you ain't really been what I been through (Y'all ain't in my shoes)
I will prevail as God will intend to (That's right)
I do what I gotta do, I will succeed
Walk through the fire, the evil that men do (Come on)
Dawg, you ain't really been what I been through (Y'all ain't in my shoes)
I will prevail as God will intend to (That's right)
I do what I gotta do, I will succeed

[Verse 2]
Hey, yo, I will succeed, 'cause if God be for me, who against me
Voodoo can't harm me, dawg, you can't jinx me
Don't knock on wood, I just walk through your hood in peace
Without a piece, I refuse to be the cause of bloodshed on the streets
Dying prove your intake of phat lyrics and beats
I diffuse the time bombs on chat rooms and sheets
I'm a warrior in this world, I can't choose defeat
No surrender, no retreat
When the clock strike midnight, I rock like hell is approaching
I almost feel the flame from the fire scorching
And I can feel the pain from my people hurting
I know that you searching, this game ain't working
But if God be for you, how can you fail
Suffering was not suspended, but He blazed the trail
Christ paid the bail, my mic tells the tail
The magnificent master of miracles will prevail

[Chorus]
Walk through the fire, the evil that men do (Come on)
Dawg, you ain't really been what I been through (Y'all ain't in my shoes)
I will prevail as God will intend to (That's right)
I do what I gotta do, I will succeed
Walk through the fire, the evil that men do (Come on)
Dawg, you ain't really been what I been through (Y'all ain't in my shoes)
I will prevail as God will intend to (That's right)
I do what I gotta do, I will succeed

[Verse 3]
I keep moving 'til the sky crack open
Heads in the industry worry when I start quoting
This red letter, for better of worse I'm blessed, not cursed
And I spit the verse that reverse the turf
From a land of war to a land of the Lord
I use Scripture when I get ya, refer to it as my sword
And yeah, I implore you, don't force me to floor you
Many will come after and many came before you
But still I stand with a mic in my hand
With the truth on my lips so with a perfect plan
Some call it a blueprint, I know it's God's will
It's the reason I still stand though around me the cats peel
Reason I got peace though my neighborhood's so ill
And I can't explain it, did nothing to attain it
Besides realize it's my call and accept it
And yeah, I recognize it's my gift so I perfect it

[Chorus]
Walk through the fire, the evil that men do (Come on)
Dawg, you ain't really been what I been through (Y'all ain't in my shoes)
I will prevail as God will intend to (That's right)
I do what I gotta do, I will succeed
Walk through the fire, the evil that men do (Come on)
Dawg, you ain't really been what I been through (Y'all ain't in my shoes)
I will prevail as God will intend to (That's right)
I do what I gotta do, I will succeed
