Shauncey Fury
In Central Pensacola, born and raised
On the church pew is where I spent most of my days.
Showin’ out, laughin', actin’ a fool,
Even got ice cold dunked in the baptism pool.
Then all of my friends who were up to no good,
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood.
I got seven little felonies and the court got scared,
They said "You're going to Teen Challenge, this bus will take you there."
I wrestled with the lord, and there was lots of fear,
The revival was fresh, and I had ears to hear,
If anything I could feel that god wasn’t there,
But I thought, “Maybe he is, I’ll just wait a few years”
I. Quit. Believing that shit about 2008,
and I yelled to sky daddy, “Yo homes, smell ya later.”
Looked at the Earth, and I shed a happy tear,
It was hellish up there, but now it’s heaven down here.
Special thanks to Chloe Fury for being everything I always needed, and more.
