and this has been my life for the past three years / shows and concerts / it's still kind of weird / sometimes i feel like a monster / the way that i'm eating this all up / i used to believe it was all luck / before me were shoes too big for me to ever fit in / who was i kidding / say goodbye to my dreams / good riddance / bye / no one told me i was destined to fly / no one told me who i was in His heavenly eyes / grew up feeling like a nobody / fueled by insecurity / rapping for acceptance / feeling lonely wasn't new to me / grew up in the church / but His love was never true to me / people reaching out to me / but no one could get through to me / i never belonged here / why / my daddy stopped being a superhero to me too early in life / shattered my world / it shattered my mind / i thought i found an adequate outlet in music when i started to rhyme / a couple of lines / a couple of thoughts / a couple of bars / but nothing was changed / blinded and still in the dark / covered in chains / and aching in pain / forsaking His name / divided into pieces / i was never the same / feeling insignificant and small / imagine being the only child / never feeling special at all / imagine never having someone in who's arms you could fall / that's when you whispered in my ears and you answered my call / that's when you drew me to your chest to hear your heartbeat for me / that's when you took me from the shadows and you called me your son / that's when you called me your beloved / taking sorrows from me / and told me out of every kid / i was your favorite one / and you placed in me a gift to be shared with the world / you told me mickey, you are chosen to be more than a song / you said my lyrics would break strongholds everywhere that i went / and you'd use my voice to show the weak that your love is strong / and ever since i made a promise with you / that any opportunity would be my offering to you / over fifty shows / you've taken me to places i would never go / seen and met people that i thought that i would never know / and these songs are more than just music / they are my worship and my weapons in this world / and i use it / this is more than a collection of these last three years / this is the fire of my worship / and it starts right here…
