I left the former me in the past
God doin new things that'll last
Why don't you see it on the path
Lead me to water I'll never go back
I left the former me in the past
God doin new things that'll last
Why don't you see it on the path
Lead me to water I'll never go back

I got no chains I rep no gangs
I don't waste time I won't play games
I won't talk big I let God explain
Lift Him high now that's real gains
Keep it honest my brotha from Philly
Q said in time they goin feel me
Puttin in work got a feeling
Rising above wit no ceiling
I'm on fire and you can't put me out
In my bag an I ain't coming out
I'm focused on what I'm about
Got so little time and we out
If time equals money then I'm finna spend it on things that won't ever run out
I got the end in my sights and I'm driven by passion
Found hunger inside the drought

I left the former me in the past
God doin new things that'll last
Why don't you see it on the path
Lead me to water I'll never go back
I left the former me in the past
God doin new things that'll last
Why don't you see it on the path
Lead me to water I'll never go back

Statistic no father
That only made me stronger
I'm married now and I'm goin be there for my future sons and my daughters
Pain shape me like Jesus is when I'm in the hands of the potter
And I wouldn't have it no other way
Easy why would I bother
Not as easy to trust the Lord when it's outta your hands though
Needing relief right now but it takin forever like watching a plant grow
Every night you been praying for answers and heard nothing back so
You losin all hope it's just hard to stay focused
This can't be my story I'm mad at who wrote it
He teaching me lessons I'm trying to decode it (Sheesh)

I just don't want to stay broken
I can't let it stop just put it in motion
The end of the storm I can see it approaching

Yeah I can see it approaching
Why be afraid when he calming the ocean
I know if he promised it's already spoken

I left the former me in the past
God doin new things that'll last
Why don't you see it on the path
Lead me to water I'll never go back
I left the former me in the past
God doin new things that'll last
Why don't you see it on the path
Lead me to water I'll never go back
