From darkness to hope

Lyrics

[Intro - Spoken softly over keys and low beat drop] Yeah… this one’s for the ones still fightin’ For the ones who feel like there’s no way out But I promise—there is. --- [Verse 1 - Rap with grit and weight] I was drownin' in pain, stuck in my head, Feelin' more alive with the walkin' dead. Tryna fake a smile, but I couldn't hide, That war in my soul I was holdin' inside. Woke up in a place I didn’t belong, No light, no love, just whiskey and wrong. But I hit my knees, said, “Lord, I’m done,” And that’s when my healing had just begun. --- [Chorus - Sung slow and powerful, gospel-style] Now I walk with purpose, and my heart’s finally right, Acceptance and peace in the middle of night. Mindfulness teachin’ me how to let go, I’m not who I was, just thought you should know. Thank God for my mama, them Georgia boys too, And Camp Hope that helped me make it through. I’ve seen the dark, now I’m chasin’ the sun— Can’t wait to get home and be there for my son. --- [Verse 2 - Rap with emotional cadence] Used to be a prisoner of pride and pain, Now I wear my past like a ball and chain— But not in shame, more like a badge, To show that I climbed out of that crash. Mama never gave up, stood by my fall, Even when I pushed back and ignored her calls. And them Georgia boys, they stood tall too, Showed me brotherhood when I had no clue. --- [Chorus - Sung stronger, layered harmonies] Now I walk with purpose, and my heart’s finally right, Acceptance and peace in the middle of night. Mindfulness teachin’ me how to let go, I’m not who I was, just thought you should know. Thank God for my mama, them Georgia boys too, And Camp Hope that helped me make it through. I’ve seen the dark, now I’m chasin’ the sun— Can’t wait to get home and be there for my son. --- [Bridge - Spoken/half-sung like Jelly Roll] I got a mission now... It ain’t just about me no more. It’s about legacy, it’s about love, It’s about showin’ my boy how to rise above. --- [Final Chorus - Full gospel build, emotional release] Yeah, I walk with purpose, through fire and fight, With God on my side, I sleep good at night. Mindfulness saved me, now I see clear, And I speak for the ones still grippin' that fear. So don’t stay hidden, don’t stay broke— Pick up the phone, there’s hope in that smoke. I love you, you hear me? You’re not alone— We’re all just tryin’ to get back home.
