lyrics
[Verse 1: Delta 14]
I was a maniac/ but I got my mind back
And I went I faced the facts
And I went to the Lord and asked
For my dreams and it’s plain to see
He heard me clear and He
Has given to me the lead and the most amazing team
Now what can you tell me bruh
Now what can you tell me homes
You gonna say I was wrong
Those are thoughts I can’t condone
Coz I’ve gone blow for blow
Toe to toe with the fates
And yes it’s safe to say
That I’ve mended my ways
No not playing no more
No not F***ing with hoes
No now I’m gung hoe out for the cause/ yeah it’s on
See the beats from my boy C
Banging leaving speakers tore up
And then my rhymes hit ya in the heart
And watch it just stop
But you can’t stop destiny nah {x3}
But you can’t stop
[Chorus]
Now in this life/ I only got one
Chance to make it right/ so leave me to my run
Aint never gon stop my fight/ aint giving up on my struggles
Surely I’m gonna ride/ until I meet my destiny
Until I meet my serenity/ eternal tranquility
Seated on the right hand of the Lord/ my Father, my God
Until I meet my destiny/ until I meet my serenity
Seated on the right hand on the Lord/ the Father and the Messiah
And I’ll be getting higher and higher and higher
[Verse 2: CeZeLiNi]
As long as I/ realize truth and teach it unto the youths
Live to advance and not pollute
Accept the mercy that has been offered through sacrifice
And in turn forgive those who trespass against I
Give respect where respect’s due
And never thirst for praise/ appreciate when it’s awarded to you/ when you do what it do
The rest is up to His Majesty/ the Creator/ of all time
Who moulded each and every mind/ and sees through/ each and every soul
Teaches you’ll reap what you sow/ made Saul become Paul
Told you to love every soul/ a couple millennia ago
Destiny’s all on you
Behold
[Verse 3: Delta 14]
Constantly slipping in days
Constantly straying in my ways
Destroyed almost caught/ leaving disasters left in my wake
Wondering what it was to be awake/ walking asleep
Drunk/ totally dazed/ stuck in a haze/ it was a maze/ I was lost
And with no due cause swimming with the sharks
They were craving like crack fiends for my blood, my soul and my meat
I wonder really what the F*** was to become of me
If it wasn’t for these rhymes and the Lord’s guiding light
The belief in the little voice that whispers gently in the night
Ricky, it’s your destiny to be Delta 14
And don’t ever forget it/ even when they tell you different
Only follow your dreams that’s why God made you breath
And I saw it clear on that fateful night as I/ stared in awe
At the closeness of the lights
I was to be a star yes/ coz if I chose that day
I could’ve held on to one and floated to God.
