Trouble I See

May have been raised in the church house, but you don't know my life kid You never walked where I walked or did what I did See from a young age the image of a man in my mind was skewed Caused dad was on them drugs, and only so much mom can do I Remember nights left wondering how come he didn't show up this time Lil bro and sis was fed up, I wanted to give another try I'm disappointed even up to my wedding day Promised to be there but he wasn't but it was a ok See mom remarried to the best man I hope for Took care of 3 bad kids... Ain't that really what a pops for He taught us so much From playing ball to cracking jokes Found myself wondering, this what a dad is like without the coke? That's why my heart breaks when fathers step out on they family So I model a good man they'll see Nobody knows the trouble struggles I've been dealt But praise God he's got my back, and he ain't failed me yet Graduated high school, I was the apple of my moms eye A good kid could do no wrong if I tried Loaded up and off to college man I went Mom and dad cried, that moment but to me it was heaven sent At 13 I was called to preach the gospel to the youth Love people love God, do his commands and spread the truth But somehow I fell off, Wrong friends left me stranded Running fast from God and all that he demanded Music was my outlet but it led me down a dark path I moved to the ATL and Hood hard was my outlet As years passed momma never stopped praying Gods arms opened wide, swear he never stopped waiting And then I repented and it changed my life for the better Rainy days cleared up, you could say He changed my weather Nobody knows the trouble struggles I've been dealt But praise God he's got my back and ain't failed me yet
