Malik Parker - Tale Lyrics

I done been though a lot of things
This kind'll make a man
If you been through them trials and tribulations
Need you to raise a hand
There were times I almost fell down
But I had to take a stand
Everytime that I remember
Hit my knees and then I pray again

They say life's a movie
Boy I tell em it's a tale
I done been through so much in my life
That I can't even tell
Going round in circles
Like a dog out chasing tail
There's two sides to every coin
Flip a dime and make it tails

All this weight up on my shoulders
Lay it down a break the scale
On social media
I'm like a comedian
In real life I'm not Chapelle
Cause ain't nothin really funny
Bout these folks headed to hell
I got haters hating on me
Tell em boys I wish em well
Cause

I done been through all the dark times
I done seen dark signs
I done seen dark clouds
I done seen dark shrouds
I done seen dumb people
Lose their life behind a smart mouth
If you want them blessings to come from the North
You gotta start South

On your face
On your face praying daily
This can't be no option nah
This can't be no maybe
Father wrap me in your arms
Treat me like a baby
I been through the worst
Man I swear this life gets crazy
Yeah

I got blessings coming down
From above
Holy Spirit give me peace
Please descend like you a dove
Tell these folks stop lying
They don't really know real love
Tell these folks stop lying
All they really doing is
Telling all these tales
I done seen all the things that they sell
All the times they say
That they mean em well
Lil boy spin the block
Get some shells
Lil Momma you hot
Shake your tail
