The Lament feat. Iamjoppy
I hear the knock on the door, but I ain't ready or deserve to even open it. Cuz' if I do I gotta change I'm not willing yet
People tell let it go but I'm frozen and I'm just hoping someone else could be chosen
Never asked to be covered in your blood, it's smothered my whole frame, I just need you to Passover. Still you called my name, like red rover
Why's it feel like a game. No matter how many far I seem to go you don't ever seem to change. Even when layin in the cut, talking down on your name
You remain like a king, like lion, unshook by any opinions of the sheep. Freedom of speech right
I'm not worthy of your focus but regardless, I'ma reach for the hem of your garment
They say it's easier to build up strong children then repair a broken man
I say it's easier, accepting when you've fallen then to find the strength to stand
They say it's easier to build up strong children then repair a broken man
I say it's easier, accepting when you've fallen then to find the strength to stand
Yo, not to long ago man I was trippin, blunt in my hand, Henny in the can I was sippin, feelin damned, I was lost, like I can't be forgiven. Took my eyes off the cross, and abandoned the mission
I wanted fame, I chased it like any other man. Ashamed what I would give in exchange for a hundred bands. Evil running through my veins, I ain't understand, through my faith to the Lords face, did the running man
No longer living like I was Christian, I tried doing what I wanted without no conviction. I thought that it would bring peace but it didn't, the Lord gave me freedom but I ran back to prison
See I was too prideful, living in denial, impressed and obsessively envying my idols. Stressed and depressed, I was feeling suicidal. Even went a whole year without reading the bible
They It is easier to build up strong children then repair a broken man
I say it's easier, accepting when you've fallen then to find the strength to stand
They say it's easier to build up strong children then repair a broken man
I say it's easier, accepting when you've fallen then to find the strength to stand
I never would have made it, without you
I never would have made it, without you
I would have lost it all, but now I see that you were there for me. And my hallelujah belongs to you
I never would have made it (You deserve it)
I never would have made it (You deserve it)
I never would have made it (You deserve it)
I never would have made it, without you
All the glory, all the honour, all the praise
(You deserve it)
All the glory (you deserve it)
All the honor (you deserve it)
All the praise
I never would have made it
I never would have made it
I never would have made it
I never would have made it
