Yeah, so just uh, keep going

And uh, Imma come back on the second one

Uh, you can do all that chanting stuff

Uh, that's fine and everything

But, uh, I-I normally just have like a conversation

You know what I'm saying

So, uh, I'm just going to go ahead and do it

Look

God, truthfully sometimes I have a dark mind

I need you by my side to help me get through hard times

I see these rappers blowing up and I'm like what the heck

Kicking all these fast flows 'til I run out of breath

Can't help the fact that I got a lot of stuff to say

Besides that, it seems like if I don't rap fast they stray

Most don't listen to the words. They care about how I'm flowing

Got friends that fell away from you and see that they're not growing

I'm lying if I said I didn't have my disbeliefs

And times it hard to put all my faith in the unseen

The Bibles written by man. Yes, of course. It's evident

So what would we think now if there was a new New Testament

By someone claiming that every single word of his is heaven sent

Probably throw him in a psych ward. Wonder what he's peddling

Make him take his medicine and shoot him up with sedatives

Saying this 'cause lately my thoughts haven't been so excellent

I still believe in You. I just wish I had more evidence

It's like. I don't know. It's like

I don't know I'm ju-I just feel lost, you know

But I'm here, so

Forgive me for my disbeliefs. Help me have more faith

You help me walk on water and I know you keep me safe

I doubt my doubts. I know that you will help me win this race

Said help so many times, but that just shows I need your grace

Man, I've been going through it. Look, I can't even pray

I'm like

Ugh, yo, alright, Imma keep going. Look

I pray that I would drop my will and focus on Yours

Please give me patience whileI wait for open doors

I'm seeking The Holy Spirit, Father and Jesus Christ

I know that You're the only Way, The Truth and The Life

It's obvious I'm a mess. That's why I need You

I'm wanting sensitivity in everything I do

You're full of miracles. There's healing in Your name

So I ask that You would come clear me of any stains

I've done so much against Your name

But I'm asking for forgiveness

Now I guess I'll eat or sleep. That's usually how I end this

Suppose we'll talk again next time I'm in repentence

Ah. I scream 'cause I can't stop staring at a screen

Seeing all these things that I dream

But it's not love

All the money, drugs, lust

I can't trust in that stuff

Imma just look above

Sorry, man

You know what. I know who I can pray for
