This one's for the little ones around the way If it wasn't for your light I wouldn't be here today It's only necessary that I give my all for you Devoted a light ten, that's what I was called to do I remember when I first met a group of youth Who walked in they light, guided by their truth No sense of judgment just the one in they chest Guided how I saw the world it truly brought out my best Music really mattered to me 'cause it was my gift I had to share, my goal was to uplift Well let me confess, when I was a kid I was blessed But stressed, cause everything felt like a mess I was depressed, on the verge of hurtin' self Music was my guidin' light, good for my mental health There was someone who brought me in when I ran astray Without his influence, I would be where I am today This one's for the little ones, stop cryin' This one's for the little ones, you're not dyin' This one's for the little ones, if you keep tryin' That's why I remain here, still grindin' This one's for the little ones, stop cryin' This one's for the little ones, you're not dyin' This one's for the little ones, if you keep tryin' That's why I remain here, still grindin' A woman at my show came with tears in her eyes, Said these little ones need you, can't you realize? I tried to brush it off, but I know she's right The truth is I need 'em too, to help we with this fight Been wrestlin' with my purpose, I been feelin' so stuck Tryin everything I can, not havin' any luck I'm feelin' all mixed up, wrapped within this blessin' But lately all I been doin' is wrackin' my brain and stressin' I haven't learned my lesson, I keep strayin' from it I know who I am, I'm just trying to love it It helps when you remember what you do it for Makes you excited about the future and what's in store Hopefully changed more lives, offer a lot of faith Let everyone know they're loved more than words can say To all the little ones, wonderin' what they should do Keep your faith alive that someday you 'gon make it through This one's for the little ones, stop cryin' This one's for the little ones, you're not dyin' This one's for the little ones, if you keep tryin' That's why I remain here, still grindin' This one's for the little ones, stop cryin' This one's for the little ones, you're not dyin' This one's for the little ones, if you keep tryin' That's why I remain here, still grindin' Help him to make more music for You that the lost souls, And most of all our young babies, our young youth The youth of the day God, I ask that you continue, oh God To let Devin's music go all over the world Lord God...

Writin' verses in the mountains just to get away Start a fire in the dark that 'gon guide the way Searching high and low I'm lookin' for the words to say I got some pain from the past that still hurts to this day Found enough courage to take a leap of faith Man it was small but after all that's all that it takes People 'gon sell you a dream but don't fall for the fakes Don't wanna live a lifestyle based all on the praise All on the stage, leave it all on the page If I'm just being honest, I had a long fall from grace Hit the ground, hurt my back but I get up The challenges of life can be hard when they never let up No matter how many tunin' in I feel blessed to be Able to connect with you through our discrepancies Findin' our understanding, I call it common ground Let me take a minute to show you what I'm all about Ten years, workin' with the youth, with the youth A thousand shows, speakin' your truth, your truth Look around, seein' no fruit Sewin' seeds in the ground about to take root, take root Ten years, ten years, ten years, ten years A thousand shows, a thousand shows, A thousand shows, a thousand shows On the grind, that's how it goes One seed at a time that's how the garden grows I had a few friends ask me why I been layin' low Well I burned out last time so now I'm takin' it slow Full time music now, yeah I'm makin' some dough Enough to pay the bills from what I make on the go Still gettin' use to tellin' people I'm a pro rapper When I haven't reached half the goals I'm chasin' after I don't rock a chain, don't got like fifty cars But I'd be lyin' if I said I don't get paid to spit these bars People call for advice, but I don't wanna talk My phones on airplane mode, I'm gone for a walk For some reason I had advice for you Insight for you, like it was nice to do But then you used my words to fight for you Went against the code that wasn't right to do But I should thank you, now I'm on my own direction Without you showin' me I never woulda known this lesson Ten years, workin' with the youth, with the youth A thousand shows, speakin' your truth, your truth Look around, seein' no fruit Sewin' seeds in the ground about to take root, take root Ten years, ten years, ten years, ten years A thousand shows, a thousand shows, A thousand shows, a thousand shows On the grind, that's how it goes One seed at a time that's how the garden grows But deep down, I believe I'm onto better days Chasin' someone else dream, man I was lead astray Carvin' out my life from a block of stone Then paint the Sistine Chapel off the top of the dome My whole goal now is just to keep on movin' Focus my mind and soul and believe I can do it Not just spit these bars but embody the culture With every step I take I promise it 'gon take me further My creative energy is the thing I nurture Don't be afraid of the passion I promise it ain't 'gon hurt ya Make most of the gifts, I know I don't deserve 'em I'm committed to the Lord, I am His humble servant So when the path gets rough, just tighten your boots And focus on your foundation, life starts from the roots Without a little faith, I never woulda made it I wanna welcome y'all to sewing seeds of greatness Ten years, workin' with the youth, with the youth A thousand shows, speakin' your truth, your truth Look around, seein' no fruit Sewin' seeds in the ground about to take root, take root Ten years, ten years, ten years, ten years A thousand shows, a thousand shows, A thousand shows, a thousand shows On the grind, that's how it goes One seed at a time that's how the garden grows
