It's a test coming to my faith |
| [00:13.44] |
We pray oh my Lord mmh |
| [00:19.11] |
Will my people ever be safe |
| [00:22.87] |
In the land that takes us and breaks us I can't be sure |
| [00:29.46] |
Walking with the Lord I see footprints |
| [00:31.76] |
My mama always told me use my good sense |
| [00:34.30] |
Common always looking for the good sense |
| [00:36.52] |
Since we all got good in our essence |
| [00:39.01] |
In the hood sense we all good anyway |
| [00:41.62] |
That's why you always hear another dollar 'nother day |
| [00:44.31] |
I see the day as a new beginning |
| [00:46.62] |
Movement of the people movement of the women |
| [00:48.88] |
To get the Earth spinning in the right direct |
| [00:51.34] |
This movie of life sometimes might project |
| [00:54.30] |
Acts scenes that don't seem serene |
| [00:56.17] |

| [00:58.76] |
And get into the being of the great I am |
| [01:01.24] |
When I get to seeing just how great I am |
| [01:03.70] |
Many many times from mistakes I ran |
| [01:06.03] |
But I'm just a cake let me bake godd**n |
| [01:09.15] |
I pray I don't forsake my man |
| [01:11.10] |
And whenever I fall on faith I land |
| [01:13.50] |
Imperfections resurrections |
| [01:16.21] |
In the mirror staring at God's reflection |
| [01:18.47] |
Reflecting on my aggressions |
| [01:21.00] |
On my progressions on my obsessions |
| [01:23.55] |
There's a lesson in not feeling less |
| [01:25.28] |
And in seeing life itself as a blessing |
| [01:27.57] |
When we wash all our pain away |
| [01:31.66] |
We say oh my Lord |
| [01:37.24] |
When we can't make it through the day |
| [01:41.33] |
We pray oh my Lord |
| [01:47.11] |
It's a test coming to my faith |
| [01:51.20] |

In the land that takes us and breaks us I can't be sure |
| [02:07.16] |
The jubilee of a newer me |
| [02:09.42] |
Giving my enemies something new to see |
| [02:12.00] |
My community they be fueling me |
| [02:14.36] |
In the struggle of us there's a unity |
| [02:16.88] |
The moral universe stay schooling me |
| [02:19.31] |
Will the king of kings really rule in me |
| [02:21.79] |
I'm an instrument stay in tune with me |
| [02:24.05] |
This orchestrated by Karriem Samora Boom and me |
| [02:26.69] |
If agape had a Cupid she'd be shooting me |
| [02:29.08] |
This rap here is fear's eulogy |
| [02:31.86] |
Escape rooms with glasses of wine |
| [02:34.38] |
Just another crutch for my brokenness |
| [02:36.70] |
A term that I got from my therapist |
| [02:38.97] |
As a black man I feel I should be sharin' this |
| [02:41.46] |
In the hood they say we crazy and we derelicts |
| [02:43.77] |
But we needed for our kids and our marriages |
| [02:46.51] |
The old folks say we don't do that |
| [02:48.83] |
But taking care of self is the new black |
| [02:51.35] |
Unconventional ways unconditional ways |
| [02:53.56] |
Mediation mindfulness it's just given to praise |
| [02:56.49] |
I'm in a phase all I see is victory |
| [02:58.98] |
You on that wave then come and get with me |
| [03:01.39] |
I only want what's meant for me |
| [03:03.96] |
And say the things that's sent to me |
| [03:06.05] |
In penitentiaries I met the most enlightened |
| [03:08.87] |
Finding the losses Heaven's excitement |
| [03:10.85] |
I write with a force of a kid that wanted to |
| [03:13.66] |
Be in The Source but that changed of course |
| [03:15.50] |
I maintained the sauce and became a boss |
| [03:18.47] |
I apologize if I came across |
| [03:20.68] |
As judgmental or self-righteous |
| [03:23.16] |
'Cause in you I see his likeness |
| [03:25.31] |
When we wash all our pain away |
| [03:29.39] |
We say oh my Lord |
| [03:34.97] |
When we can't make it through the day |
| [03:38.98] |
We pray oh my Lord |
| [03:44.71] |
