[Chorus]
I been down but I got life I should of been dead but I'm living so highhhh
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
If it wasn't for God leading the way I prolly wouldn't be where I am today I shouldn't be here
[Verse 1]
If I can be honest I shouldn't be able to breath
Pops like 1-9 moms was 17
She was crying pops was like we made a mistake
It's okay we can fix it well go to the doctor as soon
As awake but wait
She was to ofar along
If she'd abort now everything be wrong
So maybe this wasn't a mistake after all
Maybe Aaron Cole was born to be this raw
1 came and everything was legit
2 came and then my pops had to split
He came back but it was wit a lil sis
3 came and I was rapping like this
But how does it feel to know you was un wanted and maybe this is was all not real
To know you was just one good late night pimping
It makes me asks is there any point of even living
[Chorus]
I been down but I got life I should of been dead but I'm living so highhhh
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
If it wasn't for God leading the way I prolly wouldn't be where I am today I shouldn't be here
[Verse 2]
If I can be honest , I shouldn't be up on this stage all the stuff I been through I thought I'd never see this day
Way back in 7th grade they said I'll never make what seems to be reality clinged to his mentality
Just another Bristol rapper gon' be at the Hillbilly
I made it my ambition to make my school feel silly
Fast forward Freshman year another grind level
I dropped 15 they told me I'm on a signed level
It's crazy people don't grind and they don't blame they selves blame everything in the world but they don't name is they self
And tell you you can't make it and try to break yo smile
Well all I gotta say is look at me now
So you mean to tell me I should I'm be where I'm at
Without God I'm a mess like the Brooklyn Nets
I shouldn't be here but yes I'm going farther
Don't believe just watch I put my trust in the Father
[Chorus]
I been down but I got life I should of been dead but I'm living so highhhh
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
If it wasn't for God leading the way I prolly wouldn't be where I am today I shouldn't be here
[Bridge]
Where would I be if it wasn't for You
Where would I be if You didn't love me
I may have some scars but I'm working
La da da da da
La da da da da da
[Chorus]
I been down but I got life I should of been dead but I'm living so highhhh
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
If it wasn't for God leading the way I prolly wouldn't be where I am today I shouldn't be here
I been down but I got life I should of been dead but I'm living so highhhh
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
I shouldn't be here
Oh no no no no
If it wasn't for God leading the way I prolly wouldn't be where I am today I shouldn't be here
