As I was in the kitchen listening to one of Lecraes song on his new album I was really paying close to his lyrics in this song called Good, Bad, Ugly. On this song I could relate to him 100% because what happened to him is something that happened to me in my past and to hear him be transparent about his past mistakes and his struggle and how he overcame it, it motivated me. In this song he spoke on how he got molested by his baby sitter and it messed him up. The same thing happened to me but it was by family member. I thought I moved on, I thought I forgave but the root of the problem is still there. Everyday when I was younger I would struggle and hope that this root didnt grow but eventually it did. Till this very day I battle but I know the Lord will set me free. So when people say and criticize Lecrae I really just laugh and try to ignore it because they dont really understand the work that God is doing in Lecraes life to help other people. Especially mines. Lecrae gave me hope and something to listen to besides secular music. Because a person who loves music it was hard for me to stop listening to secular music until I really started listening to Lecrae. So for yall who try to bash others for listening to Lecrae and question us why we are so quick to defend him, heres a reason why. Were only quick to defend him when yall quick to judge the man. Cuz he too is still having it hard. Folks workin late, I had a babysitter I aint bout to sit here and name her I was almost 8, when she came in late Woke me up with a game to play Did a few things thats hard to say Told me to keep that secret safe How a young boy supposed to deal Im tryna act like it aint real Had my innocence just stripped from me I still dont know how to feel And Im wondering how to address it Cant tell my family, too messy So I just embrace it, its hard to face it Im too ashamed to confess it So I kept it in and aint speak Cant think, it hit me so deep So into it, I got promiscuous And only God can help me get free But Ive been forgiven, my Savior risen Im out the prison, I know that I got the power to say to no to all of my struggles God will control that Every time we slip and we fall Gotta get back up and fight on We are not defined by our past The future look bright, I see the light on
