Good Grief

[00:23.94] Yo
[00:24.82] Some of the most unfortunate events have taken place inside my brain
[00:27.07] I try to condense but it expands when I explain
[00:30.61] And that may sound intense but that's just agony and pain
[00:33.55] That I casually contain
[00:35.48] But magically it change
[00:37.03] When I'm in front of everybody yo
[00:38.39] I laugh and joke but I'd rather just go hang out in the lobby doe
[00:41.05] Somebody asked me if I was paranoid one day
[00:43.86] I guess it come off that way after seeing so much gun play
[00:46.81] Post traumatic stress disorder
[00:49.08] I don't know but I guess so sorta
[00:50.77] Man especially when I had my first daughter
[00:53.19] And I ain't have a clue of what I could possibly do to support her
[00:55.91] My pride kept me outta Burger King, "may I take ya order?"
[00:58.90] The Lord'll provide even though I'm living my life less organized
[01:01.72] An example of grace not an excuse to make mistakes
[01:05.39] I'm not abusin my faith I'm just concluding what it takes
[01:08.06] And that space is reserved for the
[01:09.92] One who died in my place
[01:11.33] That burden get on my nerves
[01:12.56] Burden give me the shakes
[01:14.00] That burden is heavy weight
[01:15.41] That burden'll make me break
[01:17.14] And me giving it all away(to God)
[01:18.70] Is me learnin to levitate
[01:19.94] Instead of a ski mask on my face
[01:21.52] I'm just off in a better place
[01:22.77] Lets pray
[01:23.11] I know I'm set free when I feel trapped
[01:25.33] Can't let it live gotta kill that
[01:28.32] No matter how hopeless
[01:29.93] I can't deny that
[01:31.71] There's a calm blue sky over Iraq
[01:34.04] There's hope
[01:40.28] There's hope
[01:46.40] To be honest I can't do nuffin but believe the Promise
[01:49.88] No frontin
[01:50.98] I'm just stuck on something only He can accomplish
[01:53.05] I mean the streets is in me deep
[01:54.84] See I done seen too much
[01:56.09] So when things get tough it's screamin to be released
[01:58.04] And if I'm not preoccupied those demons can be increased
[02:00.51] That's verse 45, chapter 12 of Matthew
[02:03.39] The least of my troubles
[02:05.25] When I entertain the speech of the devil
[02:07.42] So I remain in reach of the Father
[02:08.92] Who applies heat to the kettle
[02:10.34] So I scream
[02:11.28] When I blow off steam
[02:12.44] Then I'm settled
[02:13.58] Reminded of the power in that Name
[02:15.24] Then I'm leveled
[02:16.44] Still embezzlin my dreams
[02:17.79] Negligent of my schemes I know Heaven intervenes
[02:20.70] When I war with spiritual things
[02:22.26] Ignore amphetamines when I'm offered the better things
[02:24.64] No substitute for the truth and that
[02:26.51] Truth is He never change
[02:28.23] Simple and plain I'm a man
[02:29.66] And I ain't got it all together
[02:31.16] I need His Son
[02:31.95] I need His Spirit
[02:32.60] And I need'em all forever
[02:34.06] Good grief
[02:57.40] My eyes are on the sky above
[03:02.49] Where the fire can't climb high enough
[03:08.86] I'm focused on the
[03:09.68] Sky above
[03:14.17] Where the problems can't fly high enough
[04:46.72]
