Lets take it back, to the days when I never had
Not even a hundred quid to my name
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we would
Run riot in the streets tryna get an eat
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we had
Run ins with the laws coz we had flaws
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we were just
Tryna get paid and not get played
But the Lord still kept me, Safe

I was in Paris trying all types of bread
Cup runneth over now when I pray I ask for his favour instead
Pray for his mercy and his grace
I told Mercy I told Grace
Look to the Lord and he’ll keep you safe
If you seek his face
It took me a while but I had to run real far away from the poison
I found my way in to the kingdom so you know I’m got try bring my boys in
I spent a long time tryna lead them astray now I gotta show em what’s proper
Cause sin is a heart beat stopper, sin make your heart beat drop off
Now I’m on the road to salvation, I can’t lie at the start its lonely
You realise they’re all so phoney, I count on one hand who really phones me
Deep down they wanna see me stagnant not move forward but that’s old me
(Not move forward but that’s old me)
But I’m praying that the Lord will show me
Lets take it back, to the days when I never had
Not even a hundred quid to my name
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we would
Run riot in the streets tryna get an eat
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we had
Run ins with the laws coz we had flaws
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we were just
Tryna get paid and not get played
But the Lord still kept me, Safe

This here is deeper than rap, this is pain and legacy
Thank God I came back to reality spent too long around fame and jealousy
I know what true love looks like, my parents pray for me daily
I call that unconditional riches, I’ve been blessed from the day they made me
Even though life’s got ups and down there’s freedom living in your truth
Stop tryna be who you think that they want you to be there’s no use
Gone are the days that I would look outside, tryna work out who’s my friend
Deep down they don’t wanna see you do better than them but they sure know how to pretend
At the end of the day only God can save you
Now I spend more time in the bible I’m like a disciple when I got made new
I still show love to the ones who hate me coz only God can judge you
And might not see eye to eye but I gotta respect that God still loves you
Lets take it back, to the days when I never had
Not even a hundred quid to my name
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we would
Run riot in the streets tryna get an eat
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we had
Run ins with the laws coz we had flaws
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
Take it back, to the days when we were just
Tryna get paid and not get played
But the Lord still kept me, Safe
