When I Became a Man

Letra
When I became a man I put away childish things But before I became a man, I didn't always fit the shoes of a king I was so lost and alone Listening to a world that said do it on your own Jesus was an afterthought, this world was my home Bumping Marshall Mathers in my car like yeah I'm grown Forget putting God first, I was the lord of my own throne And searching for satisfaction is all that I'd known Because before I became a man, I was just another middle-class clone But when I became a man, I woke up I stopped wasting my life hoping and wishing that a better life would just show up I started listening to my mom who for so long said, "Son, you need to grow up" So I grew up, and then the thought of an average life made me wanna throw up So I threw up, yeah I threw up my hands and said, "God, I'm tired of being a boy, I'm ready to be a man" Because one day, when my son takes my hand I want him to know that it's not about what his dad said, it's about where his dad stands I want him to know that I believe in a God who inspires us to have big dreams and bigger plans I want him to know that, "Son, if God is for you, the naysayers of this world do not stand a chance" Because there's a difference between being a boy and being a man When I became a man, I was ridiculed and laughed at Whispers behind my back like, "Is he really like that?" "He must be uneducated" I was put down and degraded Friendships lost, relationships faded Only because I chose to live the life for which I've been created It's funny how when you mention Jesus you're suddenly hated It's funny because that's the same people who came back around years later When they saw me in the paper doing things with my life and giving glory to my Savior And then I'd get a text, an e-mail, a call "My life is in ruins, can we talk at all?" Yeah, we can talk, 'cause I'm still here But I'm just gonna tell you about Jesus even if it's not what you wanna hear But I'm guessing that you already knew that I would Because you used to make fun of me for it, misunderstood So tell me about your life And I'll tell you about your need for Christ And we can keep our conversations secret Your texts about wanting to know more about Jesus, don't worry, no one will see it But I hope one day you see fit To step out of the pit that you're trapped in And run to Jesus and take His hand and find a life filled with purpose and passion As for the jokes that you cracked when I took a stand Don't worry about it, life isn't easy when you leave the boys to become a man When I became a man I did away with the notion of living for the weekend Because I looked at society, and all I saw was weak men Giving up on Monday, dying for Friday Traveling in leased cars on the highways and byways Like material things is all that defines me Headed to cubicle jobs, trying to climb the ladder Clinging to money like it's all that matters Boys who never became men Stuck forever in the past tense Trapped in spiritual adolescence I became a man, I looked at my peers and said, "I do not wanna be like them" Clinging to the latest trend, dying to fit in Judging each other by the cars that they're in "He's the man, he drives a Benz" When I became a man, I said I want something more for my life More than getting wasted under neon lights on Friday nights Only to wake up on Saturday morning with plans to do it again There are too many boys in this world and not enough men I became a man, I said that when I leave this world, I want my life to have had purpose So I stopped wasting my life on things that are worthless Every minute on the couch in front of the TV was a wasted moment on a journey that should be defining me A journey of forming a legacy And I didn't want that legacy to be neglected So I looked at this world, and I didn't accept it I'm not gonna be who you want me to be, no, I absolutely reject it When I became a man, I picked up my cross and put down my shame My sins were forgiven in Jesus name In Jesus name My sin will forever remain an afterthought of who I used to be but no longer am Because God saw fit to crucify the Lamb So that I could land in His ocean of grace And find my rest in His holy place Because He took my place, He took my nails He took my hell, He took my cost He took it all because He had a plan And for the first time I saw it when I became a man
