Wanna feel no pressure about this no more
However it comes be the same way that it goes
I wanna loosen my grip, feel the weights come off of me
So here are my burdens
My burdens
Since I was a kid I feared being left out
Have no one to love me true
I feared no one else in doubt of
Who they're supposed to be
Felt like the mirror was miles
Miles away from what I feel
Still wrestling with how
How you still choose us
God you always choose me
& it don't make a difference
If I can't meet the truth or even measure up
You always showing love and never switching up
You're the one covering all of my tears
Going through a storm not knowing when it clears
Still in your presence even when it's all black
Know it's not the end, got faith over facts
When it go the other way, one I ain't choose
Praying I could let go & stick with the truth
Still in your will even when it feels bad
Knowing in the end you gone switch it all back
You're the one covering all of my tears
Going through a storm not knowing when it clears
Still in your presence even when it's all black
Know it's not the end, got faith over facts
When it go the other way, one I ain't choose
Praying I could let go & stick with the truth
Still in your will even when it feels bad
Knowing in the end you gone switch it all back
I did a lot on my own
My passion, my heart & my flows
Put me in positions to never listen to the critics
Who sat by the coach
I'm either in the game cooking
Or deep in the cut, j boogie
No marks in my circle though
They filled with envy
I'm smashing like ruffallo
Take em to D.C. with it
I capitalize on my time
My caption"get rich or die trying"
Captain the ship, I don't dip when it drown
Don't take to offense I just give em a smile
No patience within like a motherless child
A long way from home
With a bluff, I was stoned
Needing someone to tell me to stop with the lies but
Since I was a kid I feared being left out
Have no one to love me true
I feared no one else in doubt of
Who they're supposed to be
Felt like the mirror was miles
Miles away from what I feel
Wresting with how, how
You're the one covering all of my tears
Going through a storm not knowing when it clears
Still in your presence even when it's all black
Know it's not the end, got faith over facts
When it go the other way, one I ain't choose
Praying I could let go & stick with the truth
Still in your will even when it feels bad
Knowing in the end you gone switch it all back
You're the one covering all of my tears
Going through a storm not knowing when it clears
Still in your presence even when it's all black
Know it's not the end, got faith over facts
When it go the other way, one I ain't choose
Praying I could let go & stick with the truth
Still in your will even when it feels bad
Knowing in the end you gone switch it all back
Lord give us the daily bread of life
Loyalty for every shred of lies
More to speak on I been doing right
Probationary principles in time
You learn the consequences of a crime
Can be forgiven still weigh on your mind
Like I don't play with fire anymore
But the scars will be with me for life
I don't feel attached to anyone
Fear of being left since I was five
Left in 99' was on the run
You left the 99 to go and find
A prince for purpose through the pain in sin
Purple rain cuz everyday was grim
Person I became was sure to win
But the doubts were aimed right on the chin
Took some punishment in round two
Lost the bias, dropped the pity party
Put myself inside my mama shoes
Her son forgot about her
I was sorry
Five years old lost in time & space
Sacrifices that she made for me
Just so I could turn around & think
I had it hard
The cloak of shame was on me
Thankful that you saw me in the corner
Thankful that you paused the tape recorder
When I was the stand with no defense
I'm thankful that you came & switched the order
Walked up outta there a free man
Cuz who you set free is set for life
More to speak cuz I was dead wrong
But now to die is gain
To live is Christ
You're the one covering all of my tears
Going through a storm not knowing when it clears
Still in your presence even when it's all black
Know it's not the end, got faith over facts
When it go the other way, one I ain't choose
Praying I could let go & stick with the truth
