Lyrics

(3:00 – Slow country trap beat with gospel choir backing, gritty Southern rap, and sung choruses)


---

[0:00–0:15 | Intro – Spoken over soft piano]
Yeah…
This one’s for my little man.
Everything I am now… I owe to God.


---

[0:16–0:50 | Verse 1 – Rap]
I came from the dark, where the silence is loud,
Where the weight on your chest makes you too damn proud.
I was broke in the soul, lost in the fight,
But faith grabbed my hand and pulled me to the light.
Now I’m walkin’ straight, ain't ashamed of my scars,
They remind me how far I came from the bars.
I don't hide my past, nah, I speak it bold—
That’s how truth gets passed and strength takes hold.


---

[0:51–1:15 | Chorus – Sung slow and soulful]
I ain't turnin’ back, that life is done,
Now I live for the Lord and I lead my son.
With God on my side, I’m never alone,
We buildin’ a legacy, right here at home.
Let him laugh, let him dream, let him run in the sun—
I'm teachin’ him the way like a real dad does.


---

[1:16–1:50 | Verse 2 – Rap]
I remember them nights with a bottle in hand,
Questionin’ God, like, “What’s your plan?”
But He never left, just waited on me,
To fall on my knees and finally see.
Now I pray every day, even when it’s tough,
Tryin’ to raise my boy in a world that’s rough.
He don’t need riches, he needs a man
Who walks with God and sticks to the plan.


---

[1:51–2:15 | Chorus – Bigger delivery, layered vocals]
I ain't turnin’ back, that life is done,
Now I live for the Lord and I lead my son.
With God on my side, I’m never alone,
We buildin’ a legacy, right here at home.
Let him laugh, let him dream, let him run in the sun—
I'm teachin’ him the way like a real dad does.


---

[2:16–2:40 | Bridge – Spoken, emotional pause with light acoustic guitar]
I was broken… but He fixed me.
I was blind… but He lifted me.
Now my son sees a man who stands in faith,
Not in fear.
With God on my side… I’ve got nothin’ to fear.


---

[2:41–3:00 | Final Chorus – Full choir and power finish]
I ain't turnin’ back, no shame in my past,
God wrote a new page—now that chapter’s passed.
He’s my reason, my mirror, my fire, my run,
And I thank the Lord for my second chance, my son.
So let him be a kid, let him shine, let him play—
I’m walkin’ in faith, teachin’ him the way.
