Intro:
Yea, check it, here's a story of my life, I just wanna share with yaw
Everything I went through, up until the point to where I am now right now
Thank God for that, I just wanna show you my life's parable, check it


Verse 1:
In the beginning, I was living in the Garden of Eden
But 9 months later, got kicked out and started breathing
The 3rd of April 1982 A.D.
Entered a world full of sin as a cry baby
Thought I could make it on my own but my choice was unstable
Two voices spoke, one said I cain't the other said I'm able
But I told myself I cain't so I depended on others
Thank God He gave me a loving and nurturing mother
Mom said I used to cry up a flood 'til I almost drowned
But her arms where the ark that kept me calm and sound
My father took a big chance, stepping out in faith
Going from refugee camps into the United States
It was me, mom and dad, and my older sis that made it
Year later had a baby sis, despite my parents' ages
Wichita, Kansas was the town that we would settle in
But this was just the beginning of my life's testament


Chorus:
Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo

Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo, life's one big parable


Verse 2:
And here we are, my dad soft spoken always on the humble
Reunited with his brother, I'm learning to call uncle
Talks they had about God didn't go so hot
He'd rather give up his blessing to try to win the poker pot
One night while he played poker at a friend's house
An armed robber took my uncle's life then they sped out
The tragedy caused our family bond to wither
We parted like Red Sea's, but went south of the Red River
We ended up in Fort Worth, Texas
If this was our promise land, milk and honey was breakfast
See there's 12 grades of school split up like 12 tribes
I had to go through each one to proof that I could survive
Found strength like Samson, wisdom just like Solomon
Classes were like Goliath and I'd overcome all of them
Pride kicked in while I was doing my thang
But Babylon came through and made a dangerous change, dang


Chorus:
Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo

Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo, life's one big parable


Verse 3:
It wasn't long before I started falling weak to peer pressure
Skipping classes, grades dropping, drinking, smoking, whatever
Coming to church hung over was the usual scene
Besides I thought sitting in church was a just weekly routine
Didn't help having a job that made me feel like Job
Where negativity and disregard is all they would show
Stress was like a big whale that would swallow me whole
And I was thrown into a furnace with no where to go
See God was fed with the old me, He wanted to change it
Brought some people in my life, who totally rearranged it
'Til I finally found Jesus, and broke into tears
Crying in broken joy which I ain't felt in so many years
Had to drop that old job and my past just like a bad habit
Whatever God places in my path now, I'm going at it
Everybody has a revelation
But Imma grind for the Lord 'til I reach my final destination


Chorus:
Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo

Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo, life's one big parable


Outro:
Yo, let me tell you something, no matter who you are
Or where you're going or where you're coming from
Know that you got a story to tell
You are a living testimony and there's always a lesson to learn from it
The question is though, will your story have a blessed or a cursed outcome?
Honestly, the choice is yours


Chorus:
Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo

Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible
But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable
We got our own story from birth to burial
So here's my life on stereo, life's one big parable
