I USED TO BE SO HATEFUL, SO LOST, SO CONFUSED /
I HAD A FOUL MOUTH, AND I HAD A SHORT FUSE /
I USED TO SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON DRUGS TILL I WAS BROKE /
AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO SMOKE, I'D PUFF UNTILL I CHOKED /
I WAS SICK, NO JOKE, I REALLY THOUGHT THAT I WAS WINNIN' /
LIVIN' FOUL SWITCHIN' WOMEN, "WHO CARES IF I'M SINNIN'!" /
I USED TO BOX, SO I THOUGHT I WAS THE COOL KID /
CONCEITED, BIG-HEADED, I HAD PRIDE LIKE A FOOL DID /
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS RUTHLESS /
UNTILL THE DAY I GOT JUMPED BY NINE DUDES WITH BATS AND A POOL STICK /
I WAS WICKED, I ADMIT IT, I WAS FEARLESS/
I COULD CARE LESS, MY LIFE WAS A REAL MESS/
I WAS BLINDED, THINKING BOUT DRUGS & GRINDING/
SO LOST IN THE WORLD YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER FOUND ME/
NASTY I WAS TO ANY GIRL THAT WOULD PASS ME/
CUZ THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD GIRL IF YOU ASKED ME/
IN THE CLUB ROCKIN' THE PARTY OUT/
OR YOU COULD CATCH ME IN A RAGE, CURSIN' EVERYBODY OUT/
SCREAMIN', I HATE MY LIFE AND WHAT'S THE MEANING?/
SOMEBODY TOLD ME JESUS LOVED ME BUT I WOULD'NT BELIEVE IT/
UNTILL ONE DAY I CRIED OUT TO THE LORD/
"THIS CAN'T BE LIFE, THS CAN'T BE LOVE, THERE'S GOTTA BE MORE/
MAD AND OPPRESSED, SAD AND DEPRESSED/
SUDDENLY THINGS CHANGED FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT/
SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE/
I TOOK A STEP TOWARDS GOD AND HE TOOK TWO TOWARDS ME/
HE BLESSED ME WHEN I WAS CURSED, HE GAVED ME A PURPOSE/
I'M NOT THE SAME PERSON, NO LONGER I FEEL WORTHLESS/
I'M SAVED, I GOT JOY, IM HEALED AND IM FORGIVEN/
AND NOW I HAVE A DESTINY, FOR JESUS IM LIVING!/
