Dev Dhokia - What Made Me lyrics

[Intro] Man, Did ya'll make it this far? If so I applaud you [Verse 1: ZJ Mission] I tried so hard to be something that I was not Backing up while steady putting on a front In denial thinking I would be prepared... Never knew the pain I'd go through when I cared But one thing got me through... One man gave me the truth... Was on my own without a clue Then he pulled me up to see his point of view I saw it there, hearts broken people Falling there, they would never wanna call it Fear, staring at themselves in all those mirrors, never Seeing who they are, just a false pretense based Soley off their peers and opinions of others, so Convinced they don't mean anything they hide undercover Sapphire was another, told she was basic and ugly And unaware that she was valuable and all of us loved her Took her life with a knife to her neck in the kitchen She made up her mind she didn't have a reason for living And her sister should've noticed her in trouble but didn't Makes me wonder when we'll feel a conviction She should've never died [Hook] These days, we turn blind eyes to the pain We hide behind the lies every day I see them all alone but don't know what to say That's when I pray, cuz the word of God's what made me [Verse 2: ZJ Mission] Who I am today Living in a better place Never give a thought to what the haters say I promise you it ain't a game, I don't play Anyway you wanna slice it I'ma still take the cake Had these sk**s found em late, but my fam brought the hate When I'd rap they'd berate but I stayed in my place for the Longest time I had to keep it bottled up I had to Set it on the shelf like a model truck but now I'm Doing it without any regrets at all, leaning on the Arm of God so I will never fall, all day winna And I'm living with a purpose every day to show the world There's a well that's never running dry Everybody superficial but the physical will never be Important as to what's inside [Hook] These days, we turn blind eyes to the pain We hide behind the lies every day I see them all alone but don't know what to say That's when I pray, cuz the word of God's what made me [Verse 3: ZJ Mission] You want them to approve you but God is the Only one you have anything to prove to there's Phases you move through who knew you'd be used to do Things for the truth get it all put into you It's better living life for a cause than a hashtag When it's coming from above man you can't brag Don't be fooled by when somebody's making comments tho it Smells alright inside it's full of garbage like a Glad bag When you stand up to a hater make em backtrack Guys be staring at a girl cuz her A$$ fat But she's probably a thot and what you looking For's a real love imagine if your last girl had that Good lord I prolly shouldn't talk about it anyways Flick my wrist, hit a swish call it Kevin Gates Thought I told you that we're moving on to better days Flexing... Straight Never worried bout the hate I take it every day Like I placed a pickup order gotta get the cake Try to belittle me and that'll be big mistake Now I'm finally putting out a tape that isn't Drake Taking charge and now I'm learning to administrate Living with a good God got me feeling great And now I'm winning in a loop like a figure eight [Verse 3: Tyler Culprit] Fire and icebergs, I only spit life words Flow brighter than when Christ emerged Top rockers, a blocked author with a lot to offer I gotta give caution with a verse this awesome Y'all are Lively with the gossip I got more wits than a thought can fit A is my grade, working everyday to get paid Escapades of the paper chase and it ain't just a phase I need it made [Hook] These days, we turn blind eyes to the pain We hide behind the lies every day I see them all alone but don't know what to say That's when I pray, cuz the word of God's what made me [Outro: Tyler Culprit] Be the opposite, of non-positive Now or Never. Forever and better
