Out the Dunghill

Chorus

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was countin' me out way back then

Now I'm countin' up, yeah I'm countin' again

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was sleepin' on me back then

Now I'm wakin' up, yeah I'm wakin' again

Verse 1

Remember days I had nothin' to my name

Pockets hollow, felt the burn of the flame

Same block, same rocks, same crew turned ghost

Had to find my way out, had to make my own toast

Four walls closin' in, no Windows on the phone

Prayin' through the static, never felt so alone

But He heard every cry, every tear that I shed

Now I'm standin' on top where the blessings are spread

Pre-Chorus

Dust to a crown, that's a hell of a glow

Down to the top, yeah I had to go slow

Dust to a crown, they don't know what I know

Down to the top, watch me reap what I sow

Chorus

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was countin' me out way back then

Now I'm countin' up, yeah I'm countin' again

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was sleepin' on me back then

Now I'm wakin' up, yeah I'm wakin' again

Verse 2

Used to duck the lights now I'm in the spotlight

Turned my darkest nights into my highlight

Never had a handout, never took a shortcut

Fought through the mud, yeah I put in the footwork

Look at where I started, look at where I'm standin'

Hands in the air 'cause I know who's plannin'

Every twist, every turn, every door that closed

Led me to the place where my spirit rose

Pre-Chorus

Dust to a crown, that's a hell of a glow

Down to the top, yeah I had to go slow

Dust to a crown, they don't know what I know

Down to the top, watch me reap what I sow

Chorus

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was countin' me out way back then

Now I'm countin' up, yeah I'm countin' again

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was sleepin' on me back then

Now I'm wakin' up, yeah I'm wakin' again

Bridge

From the ground to the sky, ain't no stoppin' now

He lifted me up, I can't fall back down

From the ground to the sky, watch me take my space

Grace all on my

Verse 3

Dunghill to a palace, that's a real big step

Had to learn to walk when my heart was all that left

Now the bag ain't hollow, yeah the vault is stuffed

Every single blessing that I got, I know it's enough

Used to blend in with the concrete, now I'm standin' out

Everybody love you when you winnin', that's without a doubt

But I keep my circle tight, keep my faith on lock

Every time I hit the booth, I'm readin' from the same book

Pre-Chorus

Dust to a throne, yeah I know who raised me

Needy to a king, look at how He placed me

Dust to a throne, yeah I know who saved me

Needy to a king, I ain't goin' crazy

Chorus

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was countin' me out way back then

Now I'm countin' up, yeah I'm countin' again

He raised me from the dust, watch me glow

Out the dunghill now my whole life blow

They was sleepin' on me back then

Now I'm wakin' up, yeah I'm wakin' again

Bridge 2

He lifts the poor, He lifts the needy

When you down bad, He make you speedy

He lifts the poor, He lifts the needy

When they sleep on you, He make you breezy

Drop

Lifted out, lifted out, lifted out the dirt

Lifted out, lifted out, how you think I splurge?

Lifted out, lifted out, lifted out the hurt

Lifted out, lifted out, now I wear the smirk

Outro

He raiseth up the poor... (yeah, yeah)

Out the dust... (watch me glow)

Out the dunghill... (now you know)

He raiseth up the poor... (dust)
