divine protection

divine protection I'm sorry for going the other route, but the love you gave was pushing me away the long run, had too many haters always trying to envy me , but had gods hand over my life protecting me. I had to switch the lane, the affection felt like a cage, They screaming 'love' but plotting on me while I'm on the stage. The envy's getting loud, I hear the whispers in the wind, But God blocked the bullet, I’m forgiven for my sins. [Intro] (Spoken) Yeah... Sometimes the love feels heavier than the hate. You see 'em smiling, but you feel the energy shifting. Luckily, I’m not walking this path alone. Look. [Chorus] I’m sorry for going the other route, I had to choose a side The love you gave was pushing me away, I felt it deep inside Had too many haters always trying to envy what I do But God’s hand is over my life, I’m protected from the view Yeah, the weapons formed but they never prospered I was a son of the struggle, now I’m a kingdom foster. [Verse 1] They say they love you when you’re down, but hate you when you rise I saw the jealousy reflected in their tired eyes That "love" was suffocating, felt like it was holding me back Like a anchor on a ship, trying to keep me off the track So I diverted, took the road less traveled by the crowd Now they calling me a traitor, saying it way too loud But I don't hear the noise, I’m tuned into a different frequency While they were plotting on my downfall, He was blessing me. [Verse 2] I felt the spirit move when the snakes started to hiss Every trap they set for me, that was a near miss You call it luck, I call it Grace covering my head I should’ve been in a casket, or inside a prison bed But the mandate on my life is bigger than your little grudge I only look up to the Father, he’s the only one to judge So keep your distance with that fake embrace and forced grin If God is for me, tell me—who can ever hope to win? [Chorus] I’m sorry for going the other route, I had to choose a side The love you gave was pushing me away, I felt it deep inside Had too many haters always trying to envy what I do But God’s hand is over my life, I’m protected from the view Yeah, the weapons formed but they never prospered I was a son of the struggle, now I’m a kingdom foster. [Bridge] (Slowed down, melodic) It’s a lonely road when you’re chosen Heart was turning cold, it was frozen But the light broke through the dark clouds I’m walking quiet while the hate gets loud... Yeah, it gets loud. [Outro] I had to go my own way. No hard feelings, just different destinies. God’s hand... it’s still there.
