Kenetic - Testify Lyrics

Every sunday my mama dragged me to church
Knowing that I was stubborn she just prayed that it worked
She was in and out of court with my father for months
Saturday visitation, to me it wasn't enough
Our relationship failed, we just didn't link up
Without a father, all my younger years were so tough
I grew up in the hood, we couldn't afford much
So mama worked nonstop to keep us held up
Just another boy without a father
I was feeling like why bother
Adolescent days were harder
Me and my mama drifted farther
I was chilling with the wrong crowd
Drown the world out turn my songs loud
Then I fell in love with rap music
This my testimony, let God use it

As A teen I was thugging, couldn't tell me nothing
Me and my Mama still at church service bible discussions
When I left I was sinning, still smoking and cussing
But one night my heart changed, it happened so sudden
I was tired of hurting, I wanted a new life
Made up my mind, that I wanted to follow Christ
Baptized in the water, I was seeking The Lord
But they still won't accept me, felt the same as before
Said that I was demonic, my hair and my clothes
I couldn't understand, something the book never told
Why can't they see that I'm hurting, felt like just giving up
I was on the right path, but still it wasn't enough
18 and in need, but now I'd rather rebel
If I'm serving the lord, why is their focus on hell
I couldn't see it. I walked away
Closed my eyes and started to pray

Now i'm living in sin, feeling depressed and alone
As much as I denied, God was calling me home
This girl left me stuck, I was trapped in her lust
Homie stabbed me in the back, so I forgot how to trust
I was smoking weed, just to take away stress
When that wasn't enough I got drunk to forget
Every now and then I would look up above
In the back of my mind I was still searching for love
I guess I never could see it
Didn't have the mustard seed to believe it
My soul was still grieving
In and out of churches, kept leaving
Met my girl and my son, we fell in love fast
But our love wasn't in God almost didn't last
We had a baby girl, then started to drift apart
I couldn't deal with another broken heart
Suicidal thoughts, I was ready to die
Started to cry, Looked to the sky, said God why
But trust me he has a plan
I couldn't see it but on my life he had his hand
Just when I hit rock bottom, it all went south
He sent an angel, brought my whole family to his house
A church full of love. he Filled us with his spirit
If you feel empty I hope you hear this cuz I can testify
