Destiny’s Door

Two boys and a mama, West Side raised

Wind blowin' through them Chi-Town days

We ain't have much, but she made do

Worked them shifts, held us like glue

Tryin' to fit in where we never belonged

Nikes on layaway, emotions strong

Life hit early, I dropped out fast

Five kids deep, runnin' from my past

I still got dreams that whisper loud

Still got shame I won't say out proud

But every breath I get to breathe

Is proof God still ain't done with me

I'm still at destiny's door

Ain't knockin' soft, I'm poundin' more

Almost fifty, knees to the floor

Tellin' God, I still want more

I've failed, I've bled, I've lost, I've cried

But I ain't never laid down and died

Still tryna figure this life out Lord

But I'm still at destiny's door

Seen the streets turn boys to ghosts

Seen my own heart give up the most

I wore guilt like a second skin

Tried to win, but kept slippin' in sin

I ain't perfect, hell, I ain't close

But I'm better than I was, and that ain't boast

I'm just a man with a past and pain

Tryna make peace with the storm and rain

I still got dreams that whisper loud

Still got shame I won't say out proud

But every breath I get to breathe

Is proof God still ain't done with me

Yeah, I'm still at destiny's door

With old wounds and a soul that's sore

Ain't askin' to fly, just tryna soar

A little higher than I did before

I've been down, but I'm not done

I ain't the only broken one

Still tryna figure this life out Lord

But I'm still at destiny's door

Some folks had blueprints and plans

I had basements and empty hands

I loved hard, I lost more

But I loved and that's worth fightin' for

My story ain't polished, ain't clean

But it's real... and it's still bein' seen

So I'm still at destiny's door

Older now, but I want it more

With cracked feet and a tired heart

But hope still burns in every part

You can count me out, I won't fold

My spirit's bruised, but my soul's bold

Still tryna figure this life out, Lord

But I'm standin' strong at destiny's door
