I used to be young and kind of foolish-ness I was into it
So I tried to keep hanging with dudes I went to school with
And they were doing nothing so I was doing nothing
Productive and doing nothing it was time to change something
Because all of my potential giving life on instrumentals
Was slipping between my fingers like sands in an hourglass
My road windy and rough I made silly mistakes
And left a lot of heartache and heartbreak in my wake
Even in the middle of it facing the toughest choice
I hear the words and the sound of my mother's voice
She sees greatness and me under achieving
She knows the power of faith and she's believing
One day I'd wake up and realize I'm wasting
A lifetime on all these good times that I'm chasing
I'm seeking something different this ain't my life plan
I am stepping to You and stepping out a new man
Chorus:
I keep on building keep on moving
With each new day, I keep proving
The past and future are not equal
The story is stormy but there's a sequel
And if you don't recognize
The man you see before your eyes
It's cause I'm a new man inside
And the old man's gone away
I was a kid chasing the fame young chasing the game
Chasing these little frames but then something changed
Did a full 180 from the days when I used to be shady
Figured out the importance of sticking to one lady
I don't dip in the club, run and rip in the club
I'm skipping the club girls strip club
Dudes trip in the club, shots pop blood drip in the club
No love just trub in the club and the streets so I'm done
We're taking vows baby I take em serious
These girls wanna take your place must be delirious
We are in this life forever even through stormy weather
We ride or die and treasure every moment together
Since I put a ring around the fing it ain't a fling
It's just the way I feel about you and the love we share and bring
To the table and stability minimizes mystery
This family about to make history
Chorus
New days are ahead old days are behind
New vision new heights and I'm no longer blind
Looking at my face tell me what do you see
It don't always reflect what's in me
Been blessed my face is still looking the same
But in my heart a whole lot is changed
My rearview mirror is small windshield big I don't forget it
Where I came from but I focus on where I'm headed
I can't forget the lesson when walking in my blessing
Peep in the rearview but I keep a clear view
Of what's in front of me my past is washed away
I let regret go I'm focused on today
God forgive me as these people remind me
Of the changes that I made and the past behind me
It was all for Your purpose it was all for Your plan
I came into you broken came out a new man
Chorus"
