This song is my testimony. I had everything the world said would make me happy- money, status, and the lifestyle- but i was empty. I lost it all… and I’m thankful for it. God pulled me out of darkness, and now I’m walking hand-in-hand with my King.

I had the world but I lost it all, and I’m thankful for it//
The world ain’t n place for me//
Ain’t no place better I could be//
Than walking hand in hand, stride for stride beside my King//

V1
When I came up the mentality was get it how you live//
When I look back at that now it feels like sinnin how you sin//
As a child I had dreams but my vision wasn’t big//
Thoughts of money, drugs, and guns was all that lived inside my head//
I idolized these rappers cuz I thought that they was real//
The words they wrote related to the pain that I would feel//
I didn’t fit in anywhere no matter where I went//
Now I know that I was set apart and chosen as His kid//
My mama prayed a lot of nights, the streets were not like sesame//
She knew that I was bout that life, and it would be the death of me//
Facin 30, single cell, His hand came down and rescued me//
So I put on Hos armor for the devil when he’s testin me//
Yahweh, not my way, the final destination//
Gonna be what really matters when we meet the judge and face him//
Spend your time wise, and be careful what you chasin//
You can have the world, I’ve tried ot all and nothing can replace him//

V2
I became a man behind the fence, the prison system raised me//
And it’s not my parents fault it was the choices I was makin//
Influenced by the music I fell in love with hatred//
Miserable with life itself but life was what I made it//
Loyal to the streets made a vow to never switch up//
Aware of my surroundings, move around me, i would tense up//
Familiar with betrayal, every friend I had was phony//
Thought I fell in love, I went to jail and she was with my homie//
Product of the struggle but it never got me nun’,//
the void inside my soul I tried to fill it with a substance//
Gang affiliated, locked in to it with the roughest//
Free my brother, Jesus movin in him, Cody man I love you//
It’s hard to be a stand up man with satan and his lies//
Gotta lean on Christ the only one can save you from this life//
I used to seek acceptance now I’m only seeking favor//
From the one that layed his life down for me, Jesus Christ our savior//
