Good Bad Ugly - Lecrae

Come on everybody sit down

People wanna act like they are in the know

Well I’m here to wipe off your smile

And tell you what’s the word around town

I know you don’t wanna hear the truth

I know you hate the fact that I actually have the proof

But I just need you to believe

I’m talking the good, the bad, the ugly

Remember back in '02

When I was in school and actin' a fool

My soul got saved, my debt had been paid

But still I kept running off with my crew

Sex on my brain, and death in my veins

Had a main thing, we stayed up 'til 2 (Smokin'!)

Waking and thinking we naked, my body was loving it

Soul was hating it, man

Time and time after time, our bodies were close

The girl was so fine

Heard a heart beat that wasn’t hers or mine

The miracle of life had started inside

Ignored the warning signs

Suppressed that truth I felt inside

I was just having fun with this, I’m too young for this

I’m thinking me, myself, and I

Should I, sacrifice this life to keep my vanity and live nice?

And she love and trust me so much that whatever I say, she’d probably oblige

But I was too selfish with my time

Scared my dreams were not gonna survive

So I dropped her off at that clinic

That day, a part of us died

I remember back in the day

I was barely in the first grade

Got teeth missing, watching Tom &Jerry

Tryna go outside so I could play

I was told to watch out for strangers

Keep my eyes peeled for danger

Folks workin' late, I had a babysitter

I ain’t 'bout to sit here and name her

I was almost 8, when she came in late

Woke me up with a game to play

Did a few things that’s hard to say

Told me to keep that secret safe

How a young boy supposed to deal?

I’m tryna act like it ain’t real

Had my innocence just stripped from me

And I still don’t know how to feel

And I’m wondering how to address it

Can’t tell my family, too messy

So I just embrace it, it’s hard to face it

I’m too ashamed to confess it

So I kept it in and ain’t speak

Didn’t think, it hit me so deep

So into it, I got promiscuous

And only God can help me get free

But I’ve been forgiven, my Savior risen

I’m out the prison, I know that

I got the power to say no to all of my struggles

God will control that

Every time we slip and we fall

Gotta get back up and fight on

We are not defined by our past

The future look bright, I see the light on
