Drowning

We all can start anew

It's never too late

The story don't end though

Inspirational

It's all love but it come with conditions

They say just pray

All is forgiven

One less to fall to tradition

Withdraw from the system

Can't ignore the symptoms

Easy for the metal to snap

When trapped in this prison

Snack on these labels and

Stack up prescriptions

Tack on subscriptions

Never ending attack

From addiction

Tested how I react to opposition

Adversity of what's against them?

Laws get broken

Commandments amended

Wrote God a death threat!

Just tell me where to send it?

Who's worthy of the mercy you get lended?

Sea of sin

Looking tempting

Thoughts are darker

Damn I'm drowning

Pulled from the water

Glad they found them

Now I'm smarter

See things sharper

Cleansed from all the ill will that was harbored

Bow our heads, our Father

God MC

Yeah

Against all odds

Though life is hard

We fight on

Livin' in the projects

Broke with no lights on

I quote Tupac so you can smile when I write songs

I’m trying to change the world

Everytime my mic’s on

You ever feel like you know how much the planet weighs?

Weight of the world on your shoulders til your back is strained

Some days it's dark and sad

Other days you see the sun

I call that Saturdays and Sundays

Try to appreciate my life

That's the Lord's gift

Some days the game of life is rough

You wanna forfeit

Some people don't know whether they wanna die or live

They flirtin' with death

That's risky courtship

Nah, homie

You don't wanna see a fast coffin

I see a bright future for you

Way past awesome

God saw me fightin' with demons

Told him, back off him

When I felt like I was drownin' like Jack Dawson

My back against the wall

Like I can't win

Going off the deep end

Knowing I can't swim

I'm just tryna ride the waves

Moving through ups and downs

Searching for brighter days

Gotta find a way

So I take some time to pray

Hoping God feels I'm worthy of some kind of grace

I know I've made mistakes

But that's not who I am

I really wanna understand

Please show me your plan

I'm thinking damn

When will life get better?

Long overdue

I just had to write this letter

Looking past dark skies

Cuz despite this weather

I told my mom her son'll shine

It can't be night forever

Right?

It's never too late to start again

Find your passion and feel that love in your heart again

Yeah

My loved ones stay on my mind

As I take it one day at a time

One day at a time…
