jaivanique

Looking back on the days when we were young

Me and my brother, we had nowhere to run

Lost in the system, just trying to survive

He wore a smile, kept the heavy pain inside

I carried the weight when the innocence was taken

Moved in with mom, but our safety was shaken

Through the tears and the torture, the darkest of nights

I kept my spirit reaching for the light

'Cause God favored me through the rain and the cold

Gave me a spirit and a heart made of gold

I am Jaivanique, I go above and beyond

Giving love to the world, even when they do me wrong

I hear my father's voice when the shadows appear

Telling me I ain't got nothing to fear

He said, no weapon formed against you will prosper

Walked through the fire and came out a conqueror

They wonder how I smile, how I'm so kind

After all of the pieces I left behind

I keep it funny, I keep my soul real

'Cause I know how the rock bottom's supposed to feel

So I give out my heart to my family and friends

I'll be right beside them right up to the end

Even to the people who don't like me for real

I show them the love that the Lord has revealed

'Cause God favored me through the rain and the cold

Gave me a spirit and a heart made of gold

I am Jaivanique, I go above and beyond

Giving love to the world, even when they do me wrong

I hear my father's voice when the shadows appear

Telling me I ain't got nothing to fear

He said, no weapon formed against you will prosper

Walked through the fire and came out a conqueror

Me and my brother, we carried the pain

But I refuse to let those tears fall in vain

The trauma tried hard just to keep my heart bound

But look at the healing that I finally found

I'm loving, I'm living, I'm breathing today

God's favor washed all the bitterness away!

Oh, God favored me through the rain and the cold

Gave me a spirit and a heart made of gold

I am Jaivanique, I go above and beyond

Giving love to the world, even when they do me wrong

I hear my father's voice when the shadows appear

Telling me I ain't got nothing to fear

He said, no weapon formed against you will prosper

Walked through the fire and came out a conqueror

Yeah, no weapon formed is gonna prosper

I'm Jaivanique, I am a conqueror
