[Chorus]
Some days and nights, I thought my story was finished
Somehow Lil' Monty made it out of them trenches
I just tell 'em it's a God thing
They tried to slide but I survived with a vision
Then built a legacy for all my descendants
And I just tell 'em it's a God thing
And they put that .45 to my feelings
But I'm still out here in the land of the living
And I just tell 'em it's a God thing, it's a God thing
I just tell 'em it's a God thing (God thing), hey, and I just tell them it's a—

[Verse 1]
Woo
Had to get down to lay down
When they try to slide, slide, slide
I'm telling you, this ain't no playground
But I'm still alive, live, live
Mama, I'm on the way now
I'm on my knees to pray now
And I'm on a flight to Capеtown
When I make a million dollars goin' diamond indepеndent
Then I might put a million-dollar diamond in the pendant
Almost went blind, I saw some things that I can't repeat
Grandma just died, it's hard to marvel when all your heroes are DC
[Pre-Chorus]
I was patient with the move
Remember them days of diggin' and scrapin' for my food
Now I count a blessing for every day I kept it true
They thought I was dead, I rose from that grave and I can't lose

[Chorus]
Some days and nights, I thought my story was finished
Somehow Lil' Monty made it out of them trenches
I just tell 'em it's a God thing
They tried to slide but I survived with a vision
Then built a legacy for all my descendants
And I just tell 'em it's a God thing
And they put that .45 to my feelings
But I'm still out here in the land of the living
And I just tell 'em it's a God thing (Oh yeah), it's a God thing
I just tell 'em it's a God thing (God thing), hey, and I just tell them it's a—

[Verse 2]
Ayy, everybody gangster 'til that pole hit 'em
Never had it given, huh
Now they wanna listen, huh
I took so many losses, I just roll with them
Never left my mission, huh
All about the Risen One
But I came all the way
That's why I ball today
I had to get right, make a run
I had to call the play
I had to look up to the Son, I had to fall and pray
Now I'm branded, it look like I planned it
None of this was handed, ah
This for my departed friends who pushed me when I started this
If they could see how far I been
Ayy, I put ten racks inside her card again
She'll never swipe her card again
My sons will starve again
[Chorus]
Some days and nights, I thought my story was finished
Somehow Lil' Monty made it out of them trenches
I just tell 'em it's a God thing
They tried to slide but I survived with a vision
Then built a legacy for all my descendants
And I just tell 'em it's a God thing
And they put that .45 to my feelings
But I'm still out here in the land of the living
And I just tell 'em it's a God thing, it's a God thing
I just tell 'em it's a God thing (God thing), hey, and I just tell them it's a—
