| [00:20.40] |
Check it out yo yo yo, check it out |
| [00:24.16] |
Yo, so here I am again. My scalpel is a pen |
| [00:27.82] |
I'm dissecting every sentence to unravel what's within |
| [00:30.33] |
This battle never ends, and I've been grappling ever since |
| [00:33.34] |
There were days I "couldn't walk" as if my tassel never switched |
| [00:36.33] |
And now I figure that the mission's only bigger |
| [00:38.74] |
I'm fixed upon the vision, but division's only bitter |
| [00:41.60] |
I drifted then I slipped into the fissure of my prison |
| [00:44.45] |
But before I even hit it, He delivered my forgiveness |
| [00:47.75] |
I took the train and made my way into the city |
| [00:50.04] |
Cause the traffic makes me think more than I want to |
| [00:52.61] |
I'm waiting for a stranger that will be my revelation |
| [00:55.65] |
Cause my brain is too dishonest for its own good |
| [00:58.45] |
Look, I'm twenty three, still naive to the procedures |
| [01:01.53] |
Like asking for a show of hands to seats of open bleachers |
| [01:04.66] |
I'm hardly confident, at least, I'm only eager |
| [01:07.17] |
To trying to make a leader out this heap of broken features |
| [01:12.15] |
I say that I'm trying to make a leader |
| [01:15.50] |
Look, every time I played and tangled with the slavery |
| [01:18.87] |
I always faked a way to set examples with my bravery |
| [01:21.63] |
I'm so ashamed, chains generate so painfully |
| [01:24.08] |
Father, take the yeast, father take it out my bakery |
| [01:27.20] |
I want strength, now I'm chasing with relentless |
| [01:29.64] |
Effort that will desolate my selfish independence |
| [01:32.48] |
Made it on my own, but I know I could've grown |
| [01:35.16] |
Into the man that he wanted but I chose to be alone |
| [01:37.91] |
My will to be corrected is like the Spring without the daisies |
| [01:40.86] |
The will in my reflection's like a swing without a base hit |
| [01:43.80] |
At twenty-three I never thought I'd stumble while I've aimlessly |
| [01:46.83] |
Spilled my recollection of the things I'd never say to me |
| [01:49.40] |
I find it's cutest how deluded you've produced conclusions |
| [01:52.35] |
Think you're rooted yet obscure with your secluded movements |
| [01:55.32] |
You're pretty stupid looking thinking that you're "suited" |
| [01:57.72] |
But your "seven deuce" is useless on the "river," (and you're fruitless) |
| [02:00.77] |
Who you fooling? Who you kidding? Why you trying to lie? |
| [02:03.71] |
Where you looking? What's your mission? What you trying to hide? |
| [02:06.46] |
And from the start I knew these words were never mine |
| [02:08.98] |
And from the heart, I knew these rhymes were... "never mind" (never mine) |
| [02:11.93] |
Broken like the fixture of silver that trimmed the mirror |
| [02:14.50] |
When the fear of my interior split it into its slivers |
| [02:17.28] |
More than just a battle, truly every waking movement's |
| [02:20.38] |
Like the blues and every wavelength vaguely adjacent to it |
| [02:23.34] |
I know it's foolish, but expecting takes practice |
| [02:26.20] |
I took upon my faith, equipped, and dispatched it |
| [02:29.39] |
God granted passage in seas for thick masses |
| [02:31.90] |
(So I'm) Wishing for a spectrum in the midst of pitch blackness |
| [02:35.15] |
Former sense of preparation turns illusion |
| [02:37.40] |
When the milestones are too large to lift than they used to |
| [02:40.51] |
Can't live without you, my God, I want to face You... |
| [02:43.13] |
Twenty-three prayers from a kid who longs to break through |
| [02:46.11] |
Father, please forgive me for the arrogance that scars me |
| [02:49.00] |
And bear within me fruit on every terrace of my heartbeat |
| [02:51.72] |
Take my selfish, turn it into selfless |
| [02:54.72] |
And show me the true meaning of repentance |
| [02:56.54] |
I want to give praise to Your name, but distracted by praises of others |
| [03:00.62] |
Change my aim, lens, focus, and shutter |
| [03:02.74] |
Please forgive the fact at times my faith is trapped in the gutter |
| [03:05.44] |
Please forbid the acts of sin and all its powerful clutches |
| [03:08.32] |
Please heal the broken baggage that I carry voluntarily |
| [03:11.37] |
And bury all its merit and the weight that be impairing me |
| [03:14.14] |
Purify my heart dismiss the clutches of the briar |
| [03:16.91] |
Melt away my sickness... I trust in the Messiah |
| [03:19.77] |
So take away my craving for the lust and the desire |
| [03:22.53] |
And toss it in the furnace make it bust within the fire |
| [03:25.31] |
Speak to me Your Will, and Father teach me how to be in it |
| [03:28.12] |
Take from me my all for you say there is no median |
| [03:31.03] |
Place me on the narrow path for when I stray in deviance |
| [03:33.89] |
And take away whatever if it keeps me in obedience |
| [03:37.05] |
Forgive my anger, impatience, and pride |
| [03:39.65] |
Forgive those anchors that lay deep inside |
| [03:42.81] |
I want to be the man You called me to be |
| [03:45.39] |
And experience the freedom- how you bought it for me |
| [03:48.24] |
Talking is cheap. So Father, put your arms around me |
| [03:50.80] |
So I could show em through my life of how you're conscious of me |
| [03:53.90] |
Bless my family, fans, and all my friends |
| [03:56.98] |
And show Yourself again and again..hey man |
| [04:00.68] |
And Amen |
