The world is ours for the taking
The mold was made for breaking
I don't wanna think about it I can't see
You're ever pinning that tail on me
I just wanna sing, I just wanna be
Whatever God intended for me

Started from the bottom, bounced checks and detox
Nothing poppin', dirty work, clothes with Reebok's
Trapped in my head I was a victim of deep thought
Stuck in my mind faces of people I lost
And I couldn't afford it it broke me into pieces
Uh, somebody glue me back
Point me left or right to get me back on track
Cause this voice keeps telling me the world is mine

The world is ours for the taking
The mold was made for breaking
I don't wanna think about it I can't see
You're ever pinning that tail on me
I just wanna sing, I just wanna be
Whatever God intended for me

The world is ours for the taking
The mold was made for breaking
I don't wanna think about it I can't see
You're ever pinning that tail on me
I just wanna sing, I just wanna be
Whatever God intended for me

Now I'm armed with the knowledge of a hard time
Dressed in the armor on the front line
No more fear to conquer, the world's mine
When in doubt and the dark, all fall behind
Now we're back from the brink, take your hats off
And pat yourself on the back if you paid the high cost
Of low living
Yeah, how many y'all know what I'm talkin' bout

How many y'all been down and out
How many y'all came back alive
And now you know what it means to survive
And now you know what it means to survive
How many y'all know what I'm talkin' bout
How many y'all been down and out
How many y'all came back alive
And now you know what it means to survive

The world is ours for the taking
The mold was made for breaking
I don't wanna think about it I can't see
You're ever pinning that tail on me
I just wanna sing, I just wanna be
Whatever God intended for me

Whatever God intended, that's all I want, that's all I ask
Whatever God intended, that's all I want, that's all I ask

How many y'all came back alive
And now you know what it means to survive
And now you know what it means to survive
How many y'all know what I'm talking bout
How many y'all been down and out
