Lyrics

(Country Rap Verse 1)
It’s been two years since that day I broke free,
From the chains in my mind that were suffocatin’ me.
Depression had the keys, self-pity ran the yard,
I was losin’ the fight, life was hittin’ too hard.
But I hit my knees, cried out in pain,
Felt God in the silence, pourin’ down rain.
Now I walk tall, hand in hand with the Lord,
Not perfect, but I ain’t battlin’ alone anymore.

(Hook - Sung)
I ain’t the man I used to be,
I found my strength on bended knee.
No lookin’ back, no need to run,
I'm here for purpose, I’m here for my son.
So if you're stuck in the dark, just know there's a way—
Pick up the phone, tomorrow’s a brand new day.

(Country Rap Verse 2)
Used to think bein’ tough meant sufferin’ in silence,
Now I see strength in breakin’ that violence.
I ain't the ruler no more, gave the wheel to the King,
Found peace in surrender, let the heavens sing.
Now I teach my boy how to stand like a man,
By showin’ how to kneel when you don’t understand.
I live life on life’s terms, no more fightin’ the tide,
Just faith in my heart and my God as my guide.

(Hook - Sung)
I ain’t the man I used to be,
I found my strength on bended knee.
No lookin’ back, no need to run,
I'm here for purpose, I’m here for my son.
So if you're stuck in the dark, just know there's a way—
Pick up the phone, tomorrow’s a brand new day.

(Bridge - Spoken Word / Soft Rap)
Don’t hide in your sorrow, don’t drown in your pride,
There’s love on the other side if you just confide.
I’ve been there, brother, I know how it feels,
When life’s cold grip makes it hard to heal.
But you're not alone, we all got scars,
God don’t care how broken you are.

(Final Chorus - Full Band + Gospel Harmonies)
I ain’t the man I used to be,
Grace picked me up and set me free.
No chains, no shame, no fear to fight,
Just a mission in my soul and a fire in my light.
So if you’re lost, just hear me say—
I love you, and tomorrow will be a better day.
