[intro]
Psalm 66:16
Come and hear, all of you who fear god
Let me tell you what he has done for me
[verse 1]
Laying on the floor as i'm bleeding out (lord)
Hands covering my face as i'm screaming out (woo)
Trying to fight back the tears, but they creeping out (they are)
My reflection in the mirror starting to creep me out (it is)
I just want to know what peace about (what is it?)
Cause i've been holding on this piece and i've been thinking 'bout peacing out (bang)
What this sermon 'bout, this preach about? (huh?)
I'm all alone and only the hands of the demons from hell reaching out (dang)
The spirit of suicide like three-hundred pounds (no)
Beat it the last time, it want another round (no)
Another round and another round (another round)
Before it struck me last time i heard a thunder sound (i did)
Got up off the ground, stand on solid rock (yeah)
How much time i got? (huh?) i ain't got a lot (i don't)
When they buried me, they celebrated (they did)
They ain't know that it was a seed that would grow into a flower pot, no
[chorus]
Bro you came such a long way trying not to turn around
Scar from my past, i remember when they tried to break me down
I remember (i remember), i remember, just like it was yesterday
I remember (i remember), i remember (yeah, i remember), i remember (lord), just like it was yesterday (yo)
[verse 2]
All these memories, man they remind me
Of how they tried to do me grimy, they tried to grind me, uh (lord)
Now it's a eye for an eye until it blinds me (hah)
They really crossed that line that time when they tried to line me (they did)
Staring at the hour glass, my death could've been untimely (woah)
In my eyes was a lost soul, and i couldn't find me
He said, "find me"
And if you notice all of your friends are starting to slip away, it's cause they slimy (they gotta go)
I know it hurts but it made you (it did)
Came from the dirt and i raised you (i raised you)
Since the day of your birth there was this curse trying to slay you
But you prayed and you searched and i saved you
Lord i praise you, you hold me when i'm lonely (yuh)
You show me something better, the holy of the holies (lord)
Your blood made me new and now the old me don't even know me (hah)
If anything, he know he owe me (he know he owe me)
For real, uh (yeah), lord
[chorus]
Bro you came such a long way trying not to turn around (at the end of the day, i'm proud of me)
Scar from my past, i remember when they tried to break me down (i know where i came from)
I remember, i remember (i remember), just like it was yesterday
I remember, i remember (thank god for these memories though), i remember, just like it was yesterday (it shows me how far the lord brought me)
[chorus]
Bro you came such a long way trying not to turn around (yeah)
Scar from my past, i remember when they tried to break me down (i know they tried to break me down)
I remember (i remember), i remember, just like it was yesterday
I remember, i remember (i remember), just like it was yesterday
