about

This song is about a young man living in a rough neighborhood and feeling as if he is out of place because his environment is the total opposite of him. He is asking for help from God to be protected from all of the rough elements he encounters daily and for the guidance to ultimately receive what he is working so hard for and escape to the good life.

lyrics

(Intro)
Yeah...
It's kind of hard some times you know you gotta confess what you feeling...
I'm crying out for you...
I don't know what to do...

(Verse)
A daily fight is what I'm seeing in life/
I'm good at doing wrong/
But struggle with doing right/
I'm taught I should forgive/
So why do I feel strife/
And though I'm not supposed to yield temptation is what I like/
It's crazy my heart hurts/
But on the outside/
I'm forced to wear a disguise/
And really can't show the signs/
Of a person that needs help/
So I compromise my own feelings/
Steady keeping them on the inside/
Feeling like nobody even cares whether I live or die/
I know death is guaranteed but in my hood it multiplies/
It's sad a full like to some people is 25/
Whether they're sitting in a cell or just gone before their time/
In my mind I try to escape what I view through my eyes/
But still end up at a place where I break down and cry/
With tears deeper than the water on the lake shore drive/
Wish I could take off like a plane/
Flying high in the sky/
And leave the drama behind that's always bringing me down/
They say it's easy to smile/
But it's like I don't know how cause sunshine is hidden behind all of the rain clouds/
Can't wait to make it to heaven/
Feels like I'm in hell now/
On my knees saying loud that I'm ready for change/
Cause I'm so sick and tired of living life this way/
As your humble servant God I pray/
Open your windows and send a million blessings my way/

(Hook)
I'm crying out for you...
I don't know what to do...
Please save me from this pain...
Oh Lord take me away...

(Verse)
It's so hard without somebody in your corner/
Your peers against you/
And fears convince you/
To not trust anyone/
Cause you trained yourself to think that everybody somehow is the same anyway/
And I can't be a people pleaser/
Wasn't created that way/
Since I exude confidence/
People constantly say that I'm arrogant and won't get far if I act that way/
But I blame my attitude on you cause that's how I was created/
Made me the warrior I am/
And that goes without saying/
Tryna be the best man that I can/
But people still keep on hating/
It's a good thing that I'm living life for me/
In spite of all the people/
That got me under scrutiny/
Their words will never cause me harm/
Cause I'm far from weak/
I'm just tryna keep my cool before I knock out their teeth/
And that's another reason God that I'm making this plea/
I pray the temper that I have doesn't get me in trouble/
And another thing while I'm traveling up in the streets/
Protect me from all danger that I can see/
Even keep me from what I can't cause I know that your able/
If I have to protect myself/
Give me the strength you gave David/
On my knees saying loud that I'm ready for change/
Cause I'm so sick and tired of living life this way/
As your humble servant God I pray/
Open your windows and send all your favor my way/

(Hook)

(Verse)
Despite of all my backsliding or habits of lying/
You've never let me suffer/
Always came to my rescue/
Even in the bad times/
I was living so reckless/
You kept on shining ya light/
And were my constant protection/
Through all my life lessons/
Without a question/
I knew my help came from you Lord/
Without guessing/
So as you helped me many times before/
Keeping your love with me/
Is all I'm asking for/

(Hook)2x
