Only By Your Grace

[Chorus: Sevin]
Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong
Or I'd come so far I'd even have this song
But I'm here
And I know it's only by Your grace
Never thought I'd take the vow to be named Your child
Or I'd walk this out enough to make you proud
But I'm here
And I know it's only by Your grace

[Verse 1: Sevin]
Yeah
The wages of sin is destruction
But your gift is eternal life
We craving for sin when we busting
And then going in on this murder hype
Serving the burna flight
Churn it right
Fresh off of the burner the burger white
We emerge from the dirt like a worm at night
And these vermin is terminal for the strife
Raised in the craziness of the 80s
From the era of bangin' and crack babies
The murderous men from the city of Sac
Laced me and praised me for living like a atheist
Yeah
I slept in the suburbs but hung in the ghetto
Was ready to bust so I would run with the metal
The ride never brakes it doesn't come with a pedal
Had a problem with faith so I was one with the devil
Never did I really envision that You would listen to my prayers
And my life would change
Yeah
You pulled me out of jail then you put me outta hell
I really wasn't ready for nothing quite this strange
I'm from where you get gone if you violate
And the grave is the only known quiet place
Only You know the moments that I have faced
That's why I say it only was by Your grace

[Chorus: Sevin]
Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong
Or I'd come so far I'd even have this song
But I'm here
And it's only by Your grace
Never thought I'd take the vow to be named Your child
Or I'd walk this out enough to make you proud
But I'm here
And I know it's only by Your grace

[Verse 2: Selah The Corner]
I was a PK with like 3 K's saving my money for a Mack 10
On the TV for like 3 days seeing 3 K's killin' black men
And I felt nothing
That's real hate
Put the fork in you for that grill plate
I took God's wrath on a real date
And blew candles out for that real cake
And that's real fate
Raised in the era where they know Gotti
Gauge shells in that damned ground we plant death it ain't grow shotties
Devil told me I was squared up Cuz I blamed that and caught no body
Big Sev told me you a real one cuz you the only one that caught no bodies
That's real talk there
Love reigns and that's a real walk there
Christ up til my life up and that's real salt there
Righteous til my mic up and let's be clear
You showed grace cuz I know I shouldn't be here
Be here

[Chorus: Sevin]
Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong
Or I'd come so far I'd even have this song
But I'm here
And it's only by Your grace
Never thought I'd take the vow to be named Your child
Or I'd walk this out enough to make you proud
But I'm here
And I know it's only by Your grace

I never thought I'd come this far
Take the vow
Named Your child
Make You proud
I know it's only by Your grace
