My soul don't trust me

Nobody in the booth, yeah it's just me

I disgust me with things that I do unjustly, temptations crush me

Devil's worst enemy I must be, I must be

Trying to be somebody better

I pray that the Lord forgives my debtors

But I'm a high bar setter

And a big go getter

My standards are rising

With every letter and

I don't trust myself to spit a bar

Or even trust myself behind the wheel of a car

And I laugh at these scars and these big bad stars

Cause they get so far, living off their guitar

I got marks on my fingers

From pressing too hard

I'm doing too much

My soul is in shards

I might collapse

Like a house of cards

The craziest eight

I don't go the nine yards

Yeah

Have I done enough?

Have I done enough?

It's exhausting to keep not folding and going all in, calling bluff

All meat and no fluff

And I know that I'm bound to ash

I keep it lit, it's gone in a flash

N95's come off, I take off my mask

And it's too hard to breathe, today might be my last, yeah

Commit trespasses

Forgive trespassers

Attending masses

And taking cold showers

Fight off my flesh to the death, as if death was a choice

Run out of breath, like I'm losing my voice

Run out of depth, like I'm feeling too shallow

Give up a tenth, as if that makes me hallow

Run out of length at the end of my rope, or the end of my hope (yeah)

My soul don't trust me

Nobody in the booth yeah it's just me

I disgust me with things that I do unjustly, temptations crush me

Devil's worst enemy I must be, I must be

Hope my future's not falling apart

Trying put it back together with my art

Just want a fresh start instead of always actin smart

Maybe I should try listening to my heart but

That's how you crash and burn

Losing all the money you worked hard to earn

And it ain't funny how much I learn

While you sit in the back just waiting your turn

I take my chances

Always ignore my circumstances

Go to the bank living off advances

And God has a plan the things that happen ain't' happenstances (yuh)

I'm like Jacob

But wrestling with demons

My own thoughts

They keep me breathin'

They holding me down, and they trying to drown me

They tryna convince me that they can surround me

And I'm hoping I'm not wearing scarlet

My eyes can't adjust, cause I'm feeling too starlit

I know I should turn up the love

And turn down the hate

Gotta keep my head up

Gotta keep moving straight

Cause the Lord's above

But I live in the states

Of arrogance

Keep on making my mistakes

Inheritance

Feel like they raising the stakes

Just another American

Have I done enough?

Have I done enough?

Miserere mei dei

Have pity on me, oh God

I hope my prayer's are going up

Set a guard on my mouth

Watch the door of my lips

Feel my flesh going south

As my spiritual lifts

The rulers have been thrown down off of the cliffs

And the wicked are learning that the Lord exists

I'm counting my fifths

And I'm counting on Eden

Need blood of the lamb

For the pigs I keep eating

Desire's conceived, it's giving birth to sin

These words stuck in my head, fire under my skin

My soul don't trust me

Nobody in the booth yeah it's just me

I disgust me with things that I do unjustly

Temptations crush me

Devil's worst enemy I must be, I must be

Have I done enough?

Have I done enough?
