lyrics

[1st Verse]
Yeah, Lord knows them bow & arrows is aiming
I keep my focus on the narrow it's part of the training
Caught between insane and the other battles I'm facing
Bushwick bill on the pavement is this my mind playing
TRICKS -on me, this fear got a GRIP
But Not stronger than HIS hold on me not letting me slip
When the burden feels the heaviest and the levy is broke
My battle won ahead of me so the weight is dead in his scope
My enemies having visions of me, under siege in preparation
I live on my knees- in the hands of God I'm found greater
And Stay up knowing those same enemies will bow later
But don't just take my word for it
The process as hard as it gets
It pushes me forward-- he is the fortress
Where there's a storm, there is reign
And he does, therefore the struggle is gorgeous

[Chorus]

[2nd Verse]
Story of my life I was born in sin
Until I met Him, then I was born again
Double birth, single death
I'm thanking God cause without there's not a single breathe
Cymbals left, the melody is right
Kick and snare in the middle I'm on the center mic
Telling the world surrender to the Christ
Their hearts are cold frozen in water iced
Like icebergs, sinking their own ship
They're double minded, they got their dome split
I'm feeling homesick, want to be home quick
My life is in His hands, my God He owns it

[Chorus]

[3rd Verse]
The pressures from the world wanna choke life
I choke slam doubt cause I know Christ
In the dark I stand out cause I glow light
I got ‘em like “How he spit Christ and flow tight?”
Truth is it don’t matter what I flow like
All I wanna do, is show the world Christ
Not what the world likes, I already know
Take heed the warning there’s an arrow in a steady bow
