Only by Your Grace - Şevin

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

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

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 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

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
