Verse 1:
2
I'm a living witness, matter fact I am the living proof/
3
I'm stating facts I know for certain so you know its truth/
4
Being born in sin's a sure lock, but most don't have a clue/
5
Like Alex Haley I'm writing just to show u my roots/
6
A Slave to sin's what I was, wasn't a misfit/
7
Cause I was enslaved to him/
8
And clutched to him like a stick shift/
9
My life back then, it was a total disaster/
10
But I loved it, simply because I loved pleasing my Master/
11
Sinfulness chased me telling me it was all good/
12
Impurity raped me and then ruined my manhood/
13
Pride kicked my behind like a frat boy that can't stand wood
14
I loved it the whole time, I thought they treated ya man good/
15
Passionately pursued all my passions/
16
Took all my thoughts and words, made em verbs, gave em action/
17
It's the surface I'm scratching/
18
Slavery to Sin used to look so attractive/
19
Used to love the life I lived, thought it would be everlasting/
20
Hook:
21
Those old days, I'm not going back to my old ways/
22
There was a slave trade, this is the slave trade/
23
I'm brand new! My whole life's been renewed/
24
Cause I was a part of the slave trade, this is the slave trade/
25

Verse 2:
27
Sin had me trapped, I didn't know he was burdensome/
28
But then everything changed when somebody said , "I'm gon' purchase him"/
29
And he was talking bout' me, I'd never heard of him/
30
Said he was the creator who had some redemptive purposes/
31
I started bugging! My master sin started murking him/
32
Then called me in like backup I beat him and started cursing him/
33
My sin's a beast, look at Him, my dude just murdered him/
34
But then he rose up, brushed himself off, and said, "now start worshiping!"/
35
Externally, your boy was light skinned, I liked sin/
36
Ain't know my heart was dark, until Christ brought the light in/
37
Came in conquering like a Viking/
38
Finally saw the yoke around my neck was heavy, It wasn't no lite sin/
39
Now peep the details, Sin has been derailed/
40
Christ paid for me with his blood, we see it wasn't a cheap sale/
41
He took my place when I sinful and ungodly/
42
And He did it with one body, two pieces of wood, and three nails/
43

Verse 3:
45
The slave trade was my Emancipation proclamation/
46
His mere proclamation, it led to my emancipation/
47
Now the contemplation of the consummation/
48
Awaits the celebration of His congregations conjugation/
49
I was curious, "Who is this Kurios?"/
50
He said his name was King Jesus, and he made me his dulos (his slave)/
51
The fact that he was a king immediately got me thinking/
52
For him to stoop low and die for me mean he's a Suffering Servant/
53
Like Lebron James the King abandoned his home/
54
To come down south and wade in another zone/
55
He came and got me, that's what we call adopting/
56
Died for me, His enemy, that's how he shows his agape/
57
Surrendered all my rights, you could say that he copped me/
58
Because he's metamorphic, that's probably why he rocks me/
59
He's my one desire, it's only him that I'm needing/
60
Freed from sin to be his slave, but his slavery's feeling like freedom/
61
