...AND HE LOST

I was always told The world would never stop tryin' to bury me In problems, bills, drama, drugs, and greed But Lord I trusted you, prayed on my knees And found out peace and calm It don't come easy It don't come easy 'Cause life ain't easy And the serpent couldn't win a damn battle If he tried, Lord he tried And he can't bring me down, not in this life Ol' satan thought he won this war But he lost this time I was so convinced My friends would never accept me if I changed From all those so-called good times, remember the days But it turns out we all grew up together And all my friendships age Like wine and leather Like wine and leather That's a big middle finger pointed Straight down at the devil And the serpent couldn't win a damn battle If he tried, Lord he tried But he can't bring me down, not in this life Yeah the devil thought he won this war But he lost this time
