My hands go up to the Father 'Cause without him I'd be nothing I'd be way broke down with nowhere to call home Just another ripple floating in the water With no purpose and direction, that's a lonely road Hold me close and don't let go With just a little bit of faith will get me out of this boat I walked around in the valley so I know how it goes I said I know how it goes when everything feels low Too low for anybody with a pulse It's the coldest type of flow to make you have to grab a coat, brr Pipe down if you really don't know I see a lot of people talking, but they only here for show Lights out, turn the speakers off and hit the door If you do it for yourself and not the Lord you gotta go Just imagine growing up inside a small town where nobody knew your name And now your music's being played across the globe From Morocco to Monroe, from the mountains to the coast From the hollers and swampy waters you'd have to grab a boat I was struggling until I saw the Lord throw me a rope That's the message I take everywhere I go My hands go up to the Father 'Cause without him I'd be nothing I'd be way broke down with nowhere to call home Just another ripple floating in the water With no purpose and direction, that's a lonely road Hold me close and don't let go With just a little bit of faith will get me out of this boat I walked around in the valley so I know how it goes I said I know how it goes when everything feels low Battle tested from everything that I was going through Perfect timing, but you probably feel like it's overdue It's for the people that overcame every obstacle Getting my family out of poverty was never optional Country boy from the hood I promise I follow Jesus, they told me that I was chosen I turned around and believed it, walk it out Stepping on them like I went to college Never finished, started rapping, now I graduate with honors I looked at my sons and told him they need to go read a book They said, "Daddy, we in the studio, oh, now let him cook" They said, "Daddy we in the studio Now let him cook" You know it's going down if you don't I promise you do now The type of music you turn up whenever we come around Godtwang, it's something you won't forget It's for mama and daddy, papa and nana and every kid My hands go up to the Father 'Cause without him I'd be nothing I'd be way broke down with nowhere to call home Just another ripple floating in the water With no purpose and direction, that's a lonely road Hold me close and don't let go With just a little bit of faith will get me out of this boat I walked around in the valley so I know how it goes I said I know how it goes when everything feels low (My hands go up)
