[Verse 1] Looking back at the years I know where I've been, know where I'm going Hope to see a brighter day I kept on running, never looked back One step forward, three steps back Tried to get away but the roads had a hold on me They say everything happens for a reason Kicked out my school with no education Rob a man's chain with no hesitation Time after time it was like broke season [Chorus] I've come a long way, changed my old ways Had my fair share of ups and downs I left the roadside on the roadside If you see there, I'm just pa**ing through I lost a few friends to reckless driving I lost a few friends to redrum (murder) I thank the lord daily Still I'm standing I'm blessed to see another day [Verse 2] It's never too late to change I will try to better myself Easy to be led astray I kept on running, never looked back One step forward, three steps back Tried to get away but the roads had a hold on me They say everything happens for a reason Kicked out my school with no education Rob a man's chain with no hesitation
Time after time it was like broke season [Chorus] I've come a long way, changed my old ways Had my fair share of ups and downs I left the roadside on the roadside If you see there, I'm just pa**ing through I lost a few friends to reckless driving I lost a few friends to redrum (murder) I thank the lord daily Still I'm standing I'm blessed to see another day [Bridge] I'm blessed to see another day I thank the lord everyday I'm blessed to see another day I thank the lord everyday We're blessed to see another day You should thank the lord everyday We're blessed to see another day [Chorus] I've come a long way, changed my old ways Had my fair share of ups and downs I left the roadside on the roadside If you see there, I'm just pa**ing through I lost a few friends to reckless driving I lost a few friends to redrum (murder) I thank the lord daily Still I'm standing I'm blessed to see another day X2 [Outro] Every saint has a past And every sinner has a future
