	Lyrics Raw life, adjudicated at 16, and sent behind some bars/institutionalized for too long, it created scars/that I never thought would heal/but I knew that time would reveal/if this would make me a better man or if me this event would kill/let me take you back/let you back/let you see through my eyes how it was in the past/growing up I was a good kid, only trouble I had was getting in fights/I always stood up for what I believed, no one would violate my rights/but other then that I was a mommas boy, filled with love/but at the age of 15 I was introduced to something I'd never heard of/someone asked me, what set you claim, and I didn't know what he meant/so he just laughed, and about his business he went/but I would learn what this kid was talking about all too fast/cause my ignorance of the subject did not last/what gang was I in, that's what he was asking me, and 2 weeks after/I heard my mothers last time of ever producing laughter/I was intrigued, and consumed, swept up by what I found/little did I know the path I was about to choose would leave me hell bound/I joined a gang and put in work to the maximum/doing it by myself, the O.G.'s, I wasn't asking em/for any permission, cause I felt like I was the hardest/feelings of immortality, and unfadableness, my heart did harvest/the whole time my life was falling apart but I could not see/locked up the first time when I had just turned 15/in and out of juvenile hall, and in just one more year/for the first time in my life, I truly felt fear/tried as an adult, and sent with the big boys to serve my longest sentence/watched over by a man that told me that I need repentance/he spent his entire life growing up behind the steel curtain/and he knew he would die behind them as well, he knew the true meaning of hurting/so he acted as my tutor and introduced me to the bible/so I wouldn't have to spend the rest of my life learning survival. (chorus) Strength, wisdom, love, I know I need it/when it comes to facing temptation, ha, I know I can beat it/I'm gonna swallow my pride, and ask the lord to come and save/me from having to feel fear of what's beyond the grave/there's only one love strong enough to penetrate/get through to my heart, and rescue me from this hate. So I'm reading the book of God, and behind these walls it was pretty easy/but I knew the true challenge would come when the county finally frees me/8 men locked in a cell, finding religion/drawing murals of God on the wall to escape the reality that we're in prison/funny how when your on the outside you want to be the toughest/knowing damn well that the men serving hard time are the roughest/so you model your life after them, their walk, their talk, their entire attitude/little do you know that every single one of the baddest dudes/have now realized that nothing is worth/what they're going through now, at least nothing on earth/the only thing worth fighting for is bringing the will of God to the world/testifying the love of Christ to every boy and girl/so now they're soldiers for God, and you think you been in battles before/this one is truly for only the strongest, cause this is a life long war/with more enemies than allies/more people telling lies/cause people of this world look at soldiers of Christ and they despise/what we're about/do you got what it takes to open your mouth/and open their eyes/look in their face/stand up to persecution with grace/you wanna prove that your tough, well here's the hardest challenge you'll ever face/don't coincide with the rest of the world living in sin/there's nothing challenging about that, everyone's doing it, hold up your chin/and be a positive role model, cause no one else can/they7re too weak, so they follow the world, not knowing how to be their own man/so now that I've challenged you to prove your strength will you crumble and fall/or will you get the power of God in your heart, so you can stand tall! (chorus) Strength, wisdom, love, I know I need it/when it comes to facing temptation, ha, I know I can beat it/I'm gonna swallow my pride, and ask the lord to come and save/me from having to feel fear of what's beyond the grave/there's only one love strong enough to penetrate/get through to my heart, and rescue me from this hate.
