i thought my testimony was less the holy
i thought i was less blessed then my homies
just confessing only the big sins
i thought that was a badge of honor
i thought that i had to have a story that was packed with drama
but i ain't ever been shot
no big crimes
never smoked weed
never drank
i never did time
i grew up with both parents both cheering me on
teaching me basic things like no swearing
it's so apparent i came up in the church
socially this is where i gave my worth
learned to pray and assert my self for god displaying it's worth
upon living without playing in the earth
just the average kid
you know the type that like to play in the dirt
came home with dirt stains on my shirt
reciting the same old verse
at the table no games no hurts
and i knew i was called before the day of my birth
and it's like that
i ain't got no horror story
go kept me in my youth i give him all the glory i thought my story didn't flow
but now i know the blood of the lamb has saved my soul and that's my testimony
i ain't got no horror story
go kept me in my youth i give him all the glory i thought my wasn't dope but now i know the blood of the lamb saved my soul and that's my testimony
i ain't no gangster i ain't tough cause of rap
never been cuffed and stuffed in the back of a patty-wagon
i ain't never cuss in my raps
i started gospel most ain't accustom to that
let me get back
when i was young i used to think i was corny
cause i ain't grow up in the projects drinking a 40
and i ain't never had no thug dude sneaking upon me
and every buddy had the name brand sneakers before me
and it made me really made but as i bugged my mom and pops taught me never to chase silly fads
they told me focus and bought me note books
i really had brilliant parents they introduced me to billy gram
see i ain't got no horror story god kept me as a buck i give him all the glory
in high school all the pretty girls ignored me called me church boy
i wasn't bothered normally though
sometimes i would hate living the life of a saint
they saw the christian boy and light right from the gate
thought i would preach so they tried to escape but i guess that's just the price of pronouncing your faith
and it's like that
i ain't got no horror story
go kept me in my youth i give him all the glory i thought my story didn't flow
but now i know the blood of the lamb has saved my soul and that's my testimony
i ain't got no horror story
go kept me in my youth i give him all the glory i thought my wasn't dope but now i know the blood of the lamb saved my soul and that's my testimony
don't get me wrong i'm not saying i'm prefect
matter fact i took thoughts and conveyed about cursing
i was saving my pain it was worse then it should have been man i was ashamed just to say i'm a virgin
plus i was too afraid to admit i was a christian
i spent most of those days trying to prove i was hip
plus trying to prove i was cool
trying to move like a pimp
my testimony wasn't cool enough yet
then i came to my senses i put my brain to the scriptures
thought of how christ was blameless to sinners
he didn't grow up on the corner fornicating with sisters
a good jew grew in favor of wisdom
that gave me relief
rearranged my belief no longer thinking what i'm saying is weak
i ain't never been sprayed in the street but saved by his grace plus raised to my feet
and it's like that
i ain't got no horror story
go kept me in my youth i give him all the glory i thought my story didn't flow
but now i know the blood of the lamb has saved my soul and that's my testimony
i ain't got no horror story
go kept me in my youth i give him all the glory i thought my wasn't dope but now i know the blood of the lamb saved my soul and that's my testimony
