Mmm… yeah…
I was just nineteen, you was thirty-three...
Didn’t know what love was supposed to be...
But God did.

(Verse 1 – The Beginning)
You had game, I had grace,
You had the streets, I had faith.
I was home with your babies, holdin’ it down,
You was outside, just runnin’ around.

Late nights, phone off, said you was “workin’,”
But them lies started hurtin’.
I was prayin’, holdin’ on tight,
You was out there livin’ double lives.

(Pre-Chorus)
You knew I was young, still learnin’ me,
And you took advantage of my loyalty.
Played me sweet, then turned so cold,
Had me cryin’ in a house you never came home.

(Chorus)
First came the honey, then came the hurt,
The silence, the rage, the name-callin’ slurs.
While I was raisin’ your babies, you was in them streets,
Still dealin’ with your baby mamas on repeat.
You said I’d be nothin’ without your love,
But I got lifted by the One above.
Yeah, I made it out gracefully—
‘Cause God removed me.

(Verse 2 – The Chaos)
You was sellin’ that poison, tryna get paid,
While I was at home, tryna keep us safe.
Cookin’ meals, cleanin’ mess,
While you brought me nothin’ but stress.

Lipstick stains, smellin’ strange,
Another excuse, another game.
You threw things, cursed my name,
Then came crawlin’ back with the same old shame.

(Pre-Chorus)
You only found God when you felt me leave,
Started quotin’ verses, fallin’ to your knees.
But where was that prayer when you broke me down?
Now I wear my crown.

(Chorus)
First came the honey, then came the hurt,
You lied in the dark while I prayed through the dirt.
You cheated, deceived, but I kept believin’,
Till God said, “Daughter, it’s time to be leavin’.”
I packed my faith, took my babies too,
Did what I had to do.
Now I’m finally free—
‘Cause God removed me.

(Bridge – Kehlani vibe: airy vocals, emotional run)
Now I glow from the pain you gave,
Turned my tears into holy waves.
I found peace in the storm you made,
Now look at the woman that faith raised.

No hate in my heart, I forgave you,
But I’ll never forget what God pulled me through.
You lost your grip, I gained my wings,
Now I’m singin’ free, yeah, I’m singin’ free.

(Final Chorus – Layered vocals, emotional)
First came the honey, then came the hurt,
But He turned my pain into purpose on Earth.
He took my cries and gave me peace,
He took my wounds and set me free.
You tried to break the light in me,
But God said, “Rise, you’re free.”
Yeah, I’m walkin’ in victory—
‘Cause God removed me.

(Outro – Soft, stripped-down)
Mmm… you was out in them streets, I was on my knees,
Holdin’ your babies, prayin’ for peace.
You had the world, but I found the King…
Thank You, Lord — You removed me.
