Who thought I’d make it this far

[Verse 1: Sevin]
I just got the word that they heard I had a story to tell
Born into the world that is scorned and is glorious hell
How I managed to last from the night until the morning
What it took to become the man that now stands before ‘em
I write ya’ll this letter blood sweat tears on a feather
Candle burns slow as it glows off the Beretta
I’m cloaked in all black with that 8 pound leather
Listening to the sounds of the pounds of this weather
I threads through cemeteries and the memories pass
I see only by the grace of God in which I laugh
But picture me mourning
Silence envelopes these catacombs
I’ve probably got the 6th sense all I see is flooded domes
What difference does it make where I’m from we get it crackin’
Learn how to load a Mack-10 before fractions
It’s closed captioned out here deaf, blind and dumb
Fool this is the slum, everybody’s time has come
It’s just the good die quicker cuz they’re slower to kill
And it’s colder than steel being a soldier for real
And for all those that hear this better take it to heart
Cuz I swear I had no plans to make it this far

[Chorus: Sevin]
(Who thought I’d make it this far)
So far to come
So far to go
Till Your will be done
Guard my soul
Please grant me time to seek Your face
The Lord is my shepherd
Keep me safe
(I never woulda made it on my own)
