Letra

I was recently interviewed by a journalist who asked me about my journey just trying to get to know me
And what lead me to write two novels, produce a feature film, thirty shorts including my spoken word poetry
You're only twenty-six, what are you tryna prove with all of this?
And if something that you produced becomes a hit
Will you be satisfied enough to call it quits?
I smiled and said I guess I'm just having a mid-life crisis
But now that I write this, I realize that a whole lotta truth was said in jest
So let me take a minute to get this off my chest
You see, I'm no fool to the fact that I have one shot at this
So if you think I'ma call it quits and walk away from all of this, you obviously don't know me
And maybe that's a good thing 'cause I have a tendency to push those closest to me the farthest away
And that's just me being real 'cause I'd rather die than be fake
It's not that I don't want friends
I just don't want roadblocks and distractions distracting me from distributing the content I was created to deliver
I met a whole lotta takers, they don't mess with this giver
So let me tell you the truth
And truth is
For every one person who said I could, five more said I couldn't
I couldn't do this, and I couldn't do that
And a matter of fact, I took the weight of their hate on my shoulders and back
And I used it as motivation on every project I'd attack
You said I couldn't write a novel, I signed this for you
It's my very first paperback
And I don't want your money, bruh
So you can take your paper back
A free copy for the biggest hater I had
And I ain't even mad
'Cause God knows I would have stopped
And walked away from that laptop
A thousand times if I didn't have your discouraging thoughts running through my mind
So you can call it hard work, or you can call it the grind
But know for some it's temporary, and for others it's a lifestyle that lasts an entire lifetime
And for this sinner who serves a great God
I want my lifetime of motivated living to be a bright sign
With God, all things are possible
I serve the same God who turned a killer into an apostle
So the last word you'll ever hear me utter is "impossible"
I wanna do everything with excellence to exalt my God and be a sweet fragrance in His presence
And if one kid sees my film, reads my books, or watches my vids
And gets struck with a sudden sense of inspiration to aspire to be someone who serves to disperse the Gospel that saves sinners to salvation
I will know I have made it
Because to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ was the only reason I was created
So you can take your idols, your fame, and your money
I'd rather be poor, forgotten, and hungry
And to the world, that's something that makes no sense
But sense is what I'm trying to make of the fact that we tell our kids they were born on accident
Just the byproduct of evolution, Big Bang, imagine it
Textbooks filled with indecisive science bashing Christianity
And we're just passing it
Right into the hands of the next kid who goes home and lays down on his mattress
And wonders what the point of living if I'm here on accident
And you wonder why I jump on these mics so passionate
Because listen to me, man, you are far from an accident
You were created by a Creator who cared to carefully craft you into the creation only He could contrive
That's truth
It's no lie
You are here for a reason, and so am I
And I can still hear the voice from that teacher in junior high
Who told me I'd grow up to be a nobody flippin' burgers and selling fries
And every time he clowned me, a part of me died
But every part of me that died came rushing back to life
When I became a man and put my focus on Christ
And at age twenty-five, I had done more with my life than he'll ever do if he lives to be ninety-nine times nine
I recently saw him
He couldn't look me in the eye
And that's okay
Because kids will be kids
And kids will continue to tell other kids that they can't be the person that God created them to be
So don't listen to them, listen to me
I make these vids for you, I don't make them for me
Because I was once a kid who was told he couldn't
But I found out the only thing I couldn't do was wait
To bust down doors and kick down gates
And it's on you to look in the mirror and say the same
Because nothing is impossible in Jesus name
He took this mess and made a message
And now I get 50+ messages a day from people who've heard my messages
Some say thank you, and others ask for advice
Sometimes I have to pause and wipe my eyes when I realize how God is allowing me to be part of changing lives
Because it's then that I'm reminded how He changed mine
