U.N.C.L.E. 22 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been through my share of cloudy days
If I’m alive and I’m standing here today
It's all because my God can make a way
Kept my head up when I went through it
My testimony so proven
And when they asked me how we do it
God did it, and God’s gon do it again
God came thru when I had nothing in the bank
I was making moves needed gas in the tank
It wasn’t illegal but it was high in the ranks
Im a walking testimony I don’t take life for granted
I had friends plenty times leave me stranded
Look back at the crowd like what happened
God saved me from what I couldn’t managed
From the bottom nothing in life came with ease
Now I’m eating in front of all my enemies
They said I wouldn’t make it, I did not agree
I’m doing things you wouldn’t see or believe
I’ve had some pain come my way
Been through my share of cloudy days
If I’m alive and I’m standing here today
It's all because my God can make a way
Kept my head up when I went through it
My testimony so proven
And when they asked me how we do it
God did it, and God’s gon do it again
Hey Hey
Sat down with my cousin
We had a discussion
Talked about how good God been to us
We were down to nothing
Rumors started buzzin
All we had was faith in God we trust
I just came from hustlin
It was an adjustment
Gave my life to God and now we up
I don’t live for others
Only god can judge me
Ima hold it down for things above hey
They had respect and never brought the drugs around me
I was lost and the savior came and found me
I went to church and the choir me to give em praise
I’ve had bad nights, I’ve had bad days
Found out that my friend got murdered on the front page
You’re looking at an overcomer I don’t get fazed
I've seen em come and go so you know we ain’t scared of y’all
Auntie we gonna make it even if we crawl
I’ve had some pain come my way
Been through my share of cloudy days
If I’m alive and I’m standing here today
It's all because my God can make a way
Kept my head up when I went through it
My testimony so proven
And when they asked me how we do it
God did it, and God’s gon do it again
(Yea)
(Bang)
