Treasure in the Trash

Prelude

Crates on the corner, trash cans overflow

City breathin' hard where the lost shadows go

Think I’m past saving, look at what I’ve become

But there’s purpose in this mess gon’ shock everyone

Verse 0

Hands full of grime, can’t find a clean slate

When hope’s lookin’ small, faith pullin’ the weight

Legacy starts with what nobody wants

He got use for this dirt, make it gold if He wants

Ripped jeans history, thrown out pride

But every broken thing got a reason inside

Before the shell cracks, gotta see what’s within

Beauty starts ugly—where His work begin

Intro

Broken shells, cracked dreams on my street

Got my feet in the sludge, but I won't retreat

Every stain got a tale, every bruise got a guide

Still, I’m walkin’ with hope, got no shame to hide

Verse 1

All this grit, all this pain, everybody got flaws

Seen 'em throw stones, still stackin’ up walls

Bucket full of mess, yeah, life get raw

But I seen gold in the grime, seen beauty in scars

Rain on my shoes, but it don’t make me weak

Legacy in my dirt, you can hear it when I speak

Liftin’ up the hopeless, grindin’ for the meek

God don’t waste nothing, nah, not even the bleak

Chorus

He gon’ take this mud, make it something good

Breathe on broken things like nobody could

Out the rot and trash, He gon’ build His plan

From the lowest low, I become a better man

Verse 2

I was fishin’ for truth in a swamp of lies

Saw Him clean my soul with a calloused hand

Where the past stinks, He looks with wise eyes

Scattered bones now fertile land

Never throw me out, even at my worst

I was just dirt, now I’m ready to burst

Nothing wasted, every tear’s been rehearsed

Treasure in the trash, that’s the way it’s dispersed

Chorus

He gon’ take this mud, make it something good

Breathe on broken things like nobody could

Out the rot and trash, He gon’ build His plan

From the lowest low, I become a better man

Chorus

He gon’ take this mud, make it something good

Breathe on broken things like nobody could

Out the rot and trash, He gon’ build His plan

From the lowest low, I become a better man
