Verse 1
G
Am
I wasn't always that boy you see

worshiping up in the church
I traded worshipin' for
hustlin' and puttin' in work
A
Am
I traded Sunday service in
G
for postin' on the curb
Am
Tryna clock all I can and milk the hood
Didn't ever think I'd be that boy
that's sittin' up in the church
Hands to the sky,
A
Am
G
knees bent down to the earth
F#m
G
A
Face down to the floor,
A
Ready to give my all to Jesus now
Am
G
because I know it's worth
A
Supposed to die in the hood
My little cousin died in the hood
tryin' to get rents
Let's turn the page like seasons change

A
It's too much fun in my skin
Am
G
for me to try to go to church
A
Those had to be my thoughts,
G
though I never spoke the words
Met a couple church folks,
A
Am
G
heard them speak a couple words
Been to a gang of funerals,
Am
G
never did I heed the word
Too much weed on my brain,
got me slurrin' at my words
A
Tryna take the start I got,
Am
G
flip it to a couple birds
Those used to be my thoughts,
A
G
used to post a couple curves
A
G
A
Only when it came to rhymin',
G
did I have a lot of words
A
G
A
Now I sit and hear the words,
Am
A
G
hymns got my hands clappin'

Know you peep the flow, though,
your boy not just rappin'

Got a lifestyle to match your boy,

A
G
Boy, Grams always held me down,
Grams always told me to stand up
I'm your first grandson,

A warrior,
A
Grams always kept a weapon drawn
I know the enemy was in your ear like,
G
why you praying for him?
I'ma get him anyway,
so why you still praying for him?
A
G
But you still hit your knees at night
A
G

I still hear your voice talkin' to me like
Uh -huh, extra runnin' your house,
Lookin' for refuge
Now I'm sharin' with my kids
And tellin' them to
To my shorties
Especially you, Tranice.

If you're going to use it,
you know what I want you to do,
right? Sing for Jesus.
