Thomas Austin - Delayed Not Denied Lyrics

I just been showing the people that lend me an ear
God working through me
That ain't how I grew up but I was next door
That's how I connect to the streets
One point I walked in they shoes
We twins
That's how I connect to the weak
How could I quit when I know it's some people that's getting their strength through me
I been through things I had to wipe my eyes about
I been through things that left me asking why about it
Hard times made me strong
It ain't no doubt about it
My blessings got delayed but nothing denied about em
It's the way I was raised
I'm gone figure it out
Either way man
Quitting wasn't an option
Can't count on my hand all the people I fostered
Seeing the proof more often
Everyday I carry that chip
On top of that dealing with effects of the losses
Been weighing on me like Marcy
Through it all though I kept good posture
I was sitting there staring at the clock
Trying to figure out when it's gone happen for me
Not if, but when it's gone happen for me
Winning becoming a habit to me
Leaning on faith when I barely could see
Grabbing a plate when we barely could eat
Barely afforded to pay all the fees
Without the delays
Don't know where I'd be
Ambition inside of my arteries
Reflecting the thoughts in my brain
This life is becoming a part of me
I hate to admit that I've changed
Been moving the way I'm supposed to be
Somehow I still stuck in their aim
Still know that these blessing belong to me
Like they got a tag with my name
Aye
Yeah
They got a tag with my name
I'm trying to tackle the fame
New to this
I ain't ashamed
There was a point I believed all the hate and all of the pictures they paint
If you wanna slow me down
You gotta be way more on point with your aim
I just been showing the people that lend me an ear
God working through me
That ain't how I grew up but I was next door
That's how I connect to the streets
One point I walked in they shoes
We twins
That's how I connect to the weak
How could I quit when I know it's some people that's getting their strength through me
I been through things I had to wipe my eyes about
I been through things that left me asking why about it
Hard times made me strong
It ain't no doubt about it
My blessings got delayed but nothing denied about em
Ambition inside of my arteries
Reflecting the thoughts in my brain
This life is becoming a part of me
I hate to admit that I've changed
Been moving the way I'm supposed to be
Somehow I been taking the blame
Still know that these blessing belong to me
Like they got a tag with my name
So what can we expect music wise?
You just gone drop some more singles?
You got a project coming?
What you got going on?
So what I plan to do
Right now I'm just really crafting
Trying to get better at making music
And self development
98' I originated
24 years they adored me
Fast forward eleven years
09' closet studio recording v's
Next eight got blurry
I was on a path that wasn't for me
Started back put words on some tracks just before I could afford beats
2018 picked up my phone
Trying craft a unique sound
That's when I caught word of Isaac
Six months later
First release out
Imagine if he never answered that call
Where would we both be now
I guess we never have to see now
Aye
Can I call you when I need you?
