[Verse 1]
It was like 2009
All I had was the clique that I was runnin' with
It was nothin' but love, up in the club
Just couple of thugs, runnin' with drugs, and lovin' the buzz
Nobody could've told me how to live my life
I contemplated suicide in my mind every single night
I'm sympathizing with myself because I know I need the light
No matter how hard that I try to resist, I would always end up on my knees at night
Please, I don't need advice
Stop talkin' to me about Jesus Christ
He's supposed to answer me when I need Him, right?
Well, I don't need Him now, everybody that I know is evil
I'm on the path of fame and I take advantage of broken people
But now I'm broken in this hospital bed
Me and my momma was scared, my homies thought I was dead
Who knew the spirit inside of me would acknowledge my Dad
You could've let me fall forever, but you caught me instead
That's how you know, that's how you know that we all...
[Hook]
Came so far from where we started
Broken people so broken hearted
Heal my soul and make it new
Cause Lord, I put my faith all in you
[Verse 2]
(It was like 2009
All I had was the clique that I was runnin' with)
It was like 2011
Now I'm seekin' what the good Lord has for me
Now that I'm far removed from blasphemy
The Spirit lead me to a man named Pastor P
And even I stand to fall, you taught me how to be a man of God
I could never forget it
And when I seen you and your fam strugglin'
You still put me and my wife in a car, back when we ain't had nothin'
'Member when you came to my school and I was up preachin'
You was in the back straight ad-libbin' and tongue-speakin'
'Member them teens walkin' miles to get to the ?
'Member them walkin' to the altar with tears in they eyes
'Member you said we was gon' start a church
A church that would lift up Christ to the edge of the earth
Even if the grave get you, I'mma still remain with you
I don't bleed nothin' but green, word to Philip A. Mitchell
Man, I love you and you gotta know we...
[Hook]
Came so far from where we started
Broken people so broken hearted
Heal my soul and make it new
Cause Lord, I put my faith all in you

Poppa Mitchell, he lived long enough to see the birth
Poppa Mitchell, he lived long enough to see the birth

Broken people so broken hearted
Heal my soul and make it new
