[Intro: Lathan Warlick]
This gon' bring back memories, bruh, it's real
Straight up
It's comin' from the soul, so
Bare with me on this one
I remember tellin' this story like it was yesterday

[Verse 1: Lathan Warlick]
When I think about my life, I could've easily been gone
Put myself in situations that could easily go wrong
Found myself facin' somebody that's ready to kill me
When he was shakin', pointin' a gun at me and squeezin' the chrome
Never thought that I'd be looking down the barrel of a Ruger
Askin' God if He can hear me then reach out to the shooter
Pulled the trigger tryna kill me, but it wasn't my time to go
And that was God holdin' death back from takin' me sooner

[Chorus: Russell Dickerson]
It's gotta be God, gotta be Him
Pullin' me out of that mess I was in
Look at me now, look at me then
Good Lord knows it wasn't nothin' I did
A boy like me, to get what I got
Yeah, can't nobody tell me it's not
No, it's gotta be God
Yeah, it's gotta be God
[Verse 2: Lathan Warlick]
It's amazin' how we got a second chance to do right
'Cause even though we don't deserve it, He'll give us a new life
And still a long way from perfect, but to Him it's a'ight
He not lookin' for perfection, but it's progress He like
What you see is not of me because I'm walkin' in favor, though
So what you hear is not your average song on the radio
But I'ma keep pushin' what He tellin' me to do
Until the time come around for Him to tell me to let it go

[Chorus: Russell Dickerson]
It's gotta be God, gotta be Him
Pullin' me out of that mess I was in
Look at me now, look at me then
Good Lord knows it wasn't nothin' I did
A boy like me, to get what I got
Yeah, can't nobody tell me it's not
No, it's gotta be God
Yeah, it's gotta be God

[Bridge: Russell Dickerson]
Every time I know my God gonna come through
Every time I know He got His hand on my life
Every time I know my God gonna come through
Come through, yeah, You gonna come through
Every time I know my God gonna come through
Every time I know it's all gon' be alright
Every time I know my God gonna come through
Come through, yeah, You gonna come through
[Chorus: Russell Dickerson]
It's gotta be God, gotta be Him
Pullin' me out of that mess I was in
Look at me now, look at me then
Good Lord knows it wasn't nothin' I did
A boy like me, to get what I got
Yeah, can't nobody tell me it's not
No, it's gotta be God
Yeah, it's gotta be God
