I was one who was entrenched in that rugged terrain,
feeble minded surrounded by pain
I thought using and selling drugs was my life in totality
little did I know I was getting closer to fatality
I don't know why in this life we become so asphyxiated
meaning I could not breath in a world that was fabricated
3or4 felonies would have you living in a facility without a destiny,
now that is a travesty
God it is you that my heart is relying
I can't go know more because my spirit is dying
Give me the keys to open up the gate
I'm sick of the struggle, hostility and hate
As I look inside  to rid of some my pain
God I ask you to help me maintain.

I'm at the point in my life trying to see a little bit clearer
      Doing a breakdown of myself, looking at the man in the mirror
      Collecting my thoughts taking a trip back down memory lane
      Recognizing I had some days it was pouring down rain
      However, through all my adversity it was God's unchanging hand
      Me not knowing I was apart of his master plan
      While I was going through the fire and the shadow of death
      I did not realize that life was only a test
