Sitting here thinking
Thinking bout what used to be
Couldn't help but ask
Why have you chosen me
That's god of course
He put me where I posed to be
He took me out the hood
Where things wasn't good
He told me that I should
Follow him because he would
Show what this world really was
And what we see is just because
We're being deceived by what once was

The author's comments:
The thing that inspired me to write this piece was the fact that this was something real in my life, also I felt that god placed these words into my heart, and I would hope that people would get encouragement from this, because where you come from does not determine what you are going to be in life.
