Renegade
Sam Rivera Lyrics

Ain't running back I'm going straight for the loot
I'm not looking back, I'm aiming straight for success.

Used to want things like diamonds chains and some coupes
I used to want material things like expensive jewelry and cars.

Almost lost my soul had to fight for my life
I faced a serious challenge and had to fight to overcome it to maintain my morals and values.

Had to do everything just to make it right
I had to work very hard to fix my mistakes and make things right.

Feeling like a renegade
I feel like I'm breaking away from the norm and taking my own path.

Catch me going a different way
I'm taking a unique route that not everyone understands or approves of.

People in the crowd don't think it's ok
The people around me don't necessarily support my choices.

I can hear them talk they calling me insane
People are criticizing my choices and questioning my sanity.

But I Got God by side we don't play no games
I have faith in God and follow His guidance, and won't let negative opinions bring me down.

I only fear god
I only fear God above all else.

We beat all the odds
Despite the challenges, we came out victorious.

They thought I would fall
Others thought I was going to fail.

Now they know name
Now they know who I am and what I'm capable of.

And I'm standing tall
I'm proud of the person I've become and confident in myself.

Like look at me now
I've changed and improved a lot since the past.

I'm Next to the crown
I'm nearly at the top of my game or who I've become.

They trying to surround
Others are trying to bring me down and challenge me.

But when I was down
When I was at my lowest point.

Y'all weren't around
Others weren't there to support me at my lowest point.

I been an outcast since outcast was a thing
I've always been an outsider, even before being different was cool.

Yea I been down, but then I just bounce back with a ring
I've faced hardships before but have always come out on top with a win.

Some people fold but I really doubt that's ever me
I'm determined to not let challenges break me or make me give up.

I need Jesus, he took me out past where I thought I'd ever be
My faith in Jesus has helped me reach new heights beyond what I initially thought was possible.

I never thought I'd be a thing
I never saw myself achieving success or becoming someone significant.

I wasted my time
I spent too much time not doing things that mattered or being idle.

Was out walking blind
I was lost or didn't have a clear direction in life.

But he gave me vision on top of provision
Jesus has given me the clarity and means to achieve my goals.

So you'll never catch me settling
I won't ever be complacent and will continue striving for better.

Cause I've seen the other side of the obedience
I've experienced the benefits of being obedient and following the right path.

He turned my past into an ingredient
Jesus has used my past experiences to fuel my success or personal growth.

And now I see blessings raining like expedient yea
As a result, I feel extremely blessed and am now reaping the benefits in a fast and abundant way.

Watch me make a diamond
Watch me become something valuable and special.

From the pressure
From the hardships and difficult situations.

I been in the game for so long
I've been working hard and trying to achieve success for a long time.

I'm a professor
I'm now an expert or highly skilled in what I do.

You get what you see
I am who I appear to be, genuine in character.

But I got secrets for the answers
I have hidden knowledge or unique ideas that others may not know of.

Jesus staying clutch
I rely and depend on my faith in Jesus to always come out on top.

So I won't miss right at the buzzer
So I'll always deliver and excel in crucial moments.

I just got some demons
I have inner struggles or personal demons to battle.

In the ring, I gotta wrestle dog
I have to actively grapple with my struggles and work to overcome them.

Don't wanna know
I'd rather not know the amount of effort, time or energy I've put into it.

How many dreams that I've been chasing dog
I've chased after a lot of dreams and goals for a long time.

Staying woke
I'm aware and alert to issues around me and within myself.

Don't mean I'm wise
This doesn't necessarily mean I have all the answers or am always right.

I'm a renegade
I'm independent and self-guided, not conforming to others' expectations.

Just living life
I'm just doing my own thing and enjoying the ride.
