yeah…
look—
i done seen too much…
felt too much…
survived things i shouldn’t have walked away from…
but i’m still here.
that ain’t luck.
i was kept.
i was kept when the pressure came
when the storm hit hard i ain’t fold or break
devil had plans but they didn’t land
god had a hold on my life and fate
i was kept through the fire and rain
through the losses, through the pain
every breath that i got right now
is proof i was kept, i was kept
(i was kept!)
(i was kept!)
(i was kept!)
i remember nights i ain’t think i’d see dawn
too much weight, i was barely holding on
mind twisting, faith in a tight knot
walking through ashes but i still fought
devil close, i could feel his breath
whispering doubts feeding fears of death
but some force inside refused to slip
god held firm, he wouldn’t quit
doors slammed shut, no warning given
now i know those moments kept me driven
people left, their backs turned cold
not all hearts built to carry hold
that’s how i move, steady, firm today
don’t question when god clears the way
if you're breathing past the night’s harsh sting
that’s reason alone to lift and sing
i was kept when the pressure came
when the storm hit hard i ain’t fold or break
devil had plans but they didn’t land
god had a hold on my life and fate
i was kept through the fire and rain
through the losses, through the pain
every breath that i got right now
is proof i was kept, i was kept
(i was kept!)
(i was kept!)
(i was kept!)
pressure came, reshaped the soul
scars like maps, told stories untold
smiles that hide a breaking bone
clinging tight when feeling alone
some nights i gasped, caught under waves
roads that flirted with endless graves
every step that almost fell
was a turn where god reset the spell
now i stand with sharpened sight
changed by battles, learned the fight
every wound whispers strength in pain
every loss carved out my name
so if you’re buried in trenches deep
don't surrender, don’t let defeat seep
the same hands that carried me through
are working silent miracles for you
looking back through cracked glass scenes
all the trials stitched up dreams
storms that tried to clip my wings
became the fuel for what life brings
pain and doubt knitted tight
long nights swallowing fading light
but i’ve seen a god who bends the sky
turns the tide, lifts spirits high
if you stand despite all strife
strong on the battleground of life
raise your hands, let your voice shake
you were held, no less, no fake
the devil tried to steal my place
god stepped in, said not your race
now i walk with clear intent
because i was kept by firm ascent
kept while shadows wrapped me tight
kept through battles, through the night
kept when falling felt so sure
he raised me up, strong and pure
i was kept when the pressure came
when the storm hit hard i ain’t fold or break
devil had plans but they didn’t land
god had a hold on my life and fate
i was kept through the fire and rain
through the losses, through the pain
every breath that i got right now
is proof i was kept, i was kept
still here…
still breathing…
still moving forward…
i was kept.
