[Verse 1]

Something struck me, yeah

Need to take care of the intoleration and all of the hating

For all of the nations with history slaving

The men, the women, the children

The prisons are open, the bookstores are closing

It's hopeless, thought we could do better by not voting in

Our president, the sexism, misogynistic tendencies

Of this dude, his attitude, and his rude demeanor

And expressions crude

But I won't feed into his ego like food

I'm back on the map, and I'm back on my raps again

I took a break for a bit to find myself but now I'm here

The climate is colder than I remember

People cutting throats and pushing their own brothers down

To feel dope, I feel hope when I think

Past the current state of mind, I'm just tryna find a little time

To sit down and pray, and then relax the whole day

That'd be okay


[Verse 2]

But I'm conflicted

Kdot remembers when I was feeling it

Constricted, funny how I thought that I was killing it

And slaying all the demons tryna come for my neck

And all the people that I met, thought God sent them to protect

And challenge and sweat, and help me get better at all of this, but

Looks like I just got worse, is this a curse?

Lord knows, what's worse


[Chorus]

You just gotta pray, it's a sunny day

Break bread, bow head, raise hands up to the sky

I know you're out here wondering why

Just be patient, give the Lord all your time


[Verse 3]

1, 2, 3

I could talk about all the preliminaries, what good is that?

You want me to burn all my bridges, tell me, what good is that?

You never seen me with the cap off, always wearing my hat

'Cause I'm too vain and self-absorbed

Now there ain't no good in that, facts, huh

I'm tryna live the faith and live it well

And when I die I know I'm headed up to heaven, not hell, look


[Verse 4]

I'm living (not for me, for myself)

A Christian (striving for eternal wealth)

I'm a dead man (shed that old, shed that mold)

I know whose I am (belong to Jesus Himself)

How can you tell me what you think when I know I got the truth

Living in me, Holy Spirit, same one that was with Ruth

Is with me, haha, that's God that I breathe

Geez, you ain't gotta like me, but

I thought you was nice, now I don't know

Like I, I said before, I'm conflicted

Do I breeze out the door or plant my feet like an oak tree?

Old me dead to sin, new me? New me

Real talk, is they all talk, is they all bark?

No bite? Do they got the light? Do it shine bright?

I just gotta pray, keep my faith up (yuh)

Persevere and power through, keep running like a racer (uh huh)
