Текст пісні
Yeah sometimes the ones who raised you
Knew the road before you ever walked it
Took me a long time to see that
Should've listened when they told me
Son be careful who you run with
I was blinded by the street lights
Tryna prove I wasn't nothin
But the wrong crowd pulled me under
And the scars still show the cost
If it wasn't for Your mercy
God without You I'd be lost
You pulled me out
Out the fire out the dark
I remember mama lookin' at me sideways
Sayin' Those boys ain't built for your highway
But I ain't listen thought I knew life my way
Till trouble hit harder than a Friday
Chasin' every thrill like a runaway
Heart cold tryin' to hide what I was runnin' from
Thought I was a man 'cause I held my pain
But the wrong ones round me fed the numb
Should've listened but pride had me locked in
Didn't know a prayer was the only real option
All those nights they warned me now I see it
I was drowning in the pit but God saw freedom
Should've listened when they told me
Son be careful who you run with
I was blinded by the street lights
Tryna prove I wasn't nothin
But the wrong crowd pulled me under
And the scars still show the cost
If it wasn't for Your mercy
God without You I'd be lost
You pulled me out
Out the fire out the dark
It took years just to climb from what I fell in
Took tears took nights I ain't tellin
Could've died in the mess I was dwellin
But grace hit harder than the lies I was sellin
I look back see love in the warnings
See truth in the things they were callin
Wasn't tryin' to stop me from the fun I wanted
They were tryna save me from the man I didn't wanna be
Now I'm walkin' with a new kind of backbone
No chain but I'm breakin' out the trap zones
Still here 'cause His mercy never backed off
