[intro hook]
I cannot say
I have ever skipped a beat
No I have never skipped a beat
I have felt defeat
I have felt hell underneath my feet
But all the pain only keeps the flame within me, awake, I'm working on a

[verse 1]
Dream
Somewhere between
Bridges of faith, don’t break
Baby believe
You got
Somewhere to be
You got
Somewhere to go
Life’s too short so don’t look so long
Grab your rope, try to pull for hope

Oh no was too high, proud, and falling back to drugs
Never grew up, bittersweet, until I planted my love
One day saw pomegranate blood
Spilling off a countertop of marble granite lush
And learned that I don’t plan it he does

I'm singing
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Please slow it down
All the things I don’t know in life vs
All the things that I do know now
All the times that I thought I couldn’t vs
Pride that told me I do know how
I’ve enjoyed the rain and I’ve enjoyed the clouds but I need a way out

From all this slipping n falling
And looking for reasons
And justifying all my callings
And still battling demons
Till I took a pledge of allegiance
I cannot live for convenience
I looked myself in the mirror
Said baby, I’M A BELIEVER!

[hook x2]
I cannot say
I have ever skipped a beat
No I have never skipped a beat
I have felt defeat
I have felt hell underneath my feet
But all the pain only keeps the flame within me, awake, I'm working on a dream

[Verse 2]
Thought I was working 
till I started working
Thought I was Hurtin 
til it started hurting
Asked “why?”, looking for purpose uncertain searching through verses
Rehearsing, turned to a burden, short circuit no service, worthless
Learning, can’t purchase an earning without returning no Curtis…

WHERE MY CHANGE AT GOD!??
I’m still feeling like the same person
There’s Serpents still lurking
And verdicts still turned in
By persons 
concerned with
Shit that don’t concern em
Still a nervous wreck, behind the curtains
Then again I checked and no ones perfect
If I'm not the best do I deserve it?
Baby, I swear my chest is burning
Mama said no one is worth it
When it all ends and comes to surface
I Hope I get a chance to worship
Put up both my hands for service
And go from boy to man resurgence
Like the cervix of a virgin flirting with words
Flow so tight, pronounced. Mr. Wordsmith

And I'm packing heat
Go to war with words when I'm Lacking peace
Making songs till I'm lacking sleep
From the crack of dawn to the black of eve
I was raised at home but I'm the blackest sheep
My past to me, all history
Rest of my path still a mystery
But as for me, I have never skipped a beat

[hook x2]
I cannot say
I have ever skipped a beat
No I have never skipped a beat
I have felt defeat
I have felt hell underneath my feet
But all the pain only keeps the flame within me, awake, I'm working on a
