Mama, I know I put you through the fire

Caught in the streets, walking on a wire

I made bad decisions, I couldn't see the cost

Hurt the people around me, wandering and lost

I spent those long nights behind the prison walls

While you waited by the phone just to take my calls

Then the bullet struck me, almost took me away

But I was spared by grace to see a better day

I am transformed by the renewing of my mind

Leaving the shadows and the reckless days behind

Through the trial and the error, I finally see the light

Mama, look at me now, I’m getting it right

I’m getting it right

I walked through the valley of the deepest pain

When my two children died, nothing was the same

Two little angels that I had to let go

A kind of heavy sorrow only heaven could know

It broke me to pieces, it shattered my soul

But that was the moment I had to take control

I promised them up there, and I'm promising you

I'm walking a path that is honest and true

'Cause I am transformed by the renewing of my mind

Leaving the shadows and the reckless days behind

Through the trial and the error, I finally see the light

Mama, look at me now, I’m getting it right

I’m getting it right

You are my mother, my steady and my rock

Through every closed door and every ticking clock

It took a lot of falling to learn how to stand

To stop hurting people and be a better man

I let go of the anger, I let go of the pride

With this holy message burning deep inside

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind

I left the shadows and the reckless days behind

Through the trial and the error, I finally see the light

Mama, look at me now, I’m getting it right

Yeah, I’m transformed by the renewing of my mind

Mama, I love you, I finally got it right
