(Chorus line by No Malice [uncredited] from Darkest Hour (featuring No Malice))
[Hook]
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
[Verse 1 - Lecrae]
Dark past, full of evil endeavors
Heart clean never, black and ugly as ever
However, I've seen my family die from the rocks
The fiends on blocks, including my own pops
Homie I've seen two much to drink them two cups
Can’t lean on the lean, already way too screwed up
Was way too gone, I was way too cold
Fifty yard hail mary, I was way too thrown
I was Tarzan, raised by gorillas and the beasts
High on them trees when I gorilla’d the beats
Then that truth came hit me, got me outta my grave
All my partners say I'm changed, how am I gon' stay the same, huh?!
[Hook]
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
[Verse 2 - Tedashii]
Killer tryna murder it, chasing ladies down for fun
Saying "come with me," hail Mary but then kill the Son
However, I seen them boys mayne, take that bar and wait
For God’s sake, Beastie boy - he still took three the hard way
Toss me out, heart away, crucifix, no jewelry
Just wooden beams he took from me, took 'em up to Calvary
While I was a DGK wiling out to UGK
Running from the HPD, huffing puffing mary jane
No Rick James mayne, I was looking for a super freak
Nasty; cameo; candy; super sweet
But now your boy turnt up, free from all them chains
Yeah, volume on ten, you can call it unashamed
[Hook]
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
[Verse 3 - Lecrae]
Now I'm turnt up daily, I'm on my one-eighty
They thought I'd water it down, I'm like boy y'all crazy!!
On my J.O., my O.J. Mayo, I'm on my Grizzly
Jesus turned me around me so fast that you would swear I was dizzy
Now they askin' who is he, now they wonder my name
I run in my own lane screaming "Jesus is King!"
Til my heart stop pumping, no more blood in my veins
Watch me turn up everyday homeboy, I'm so unashamed
[Tedashii]
Turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up
Turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up
Turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up
Turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up boy, turn up
[Hook]
Lord have mercy and pity on your son
From what I once was to what I have become
