Paradox

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom yeah.
Just vibe with me, come on.

I told life I'm not running from the fight.
I had to hit my neutral corner for water and some advice.
I told my dreams to please wait for me,
I'm running a little late for our date with destiny.
I gave Jesus a standing ovation,
I'm thankful for his validation, salute and salutations.
I told God that I need him.
I know He has perfect plans for me but I really wanna see em.
There's a lil anxiety mixed with doubt
cause God's ways are not mine, I'm tryin figure His out.
I see the world that is falling fast,
He's asking me to make a difference in
but i'm fighting battles deep within.
Skywalker I am Anakin.
He say the force is strong in me but fear is a strong enemy.
Fear of the unknown, fear of missing the mark.
Fear of failing my family. Failing husband and father.
I don't make enuff money Lord I gotta trust you.
Either that or working two jobs again grand hustle.
Some might say bro what's wrong with that?
Last time I did that my family came under spiritual attack. Ugh!
That's a fight in the Heavenlies call it Star Wars.
Lord awaken this faith on this journey I'm on.
When I can't see my way, and don't know what steps to take
Help me follow you until my dying day.
These are abstract thoughts dripping from my pen.
Abstract thoughts dripping from my spirit man.
It helps me throw up my prayers like the Hiemlich.
And then I try to put faith and hope behind them.
Jesus came to shine his light bright for all men.
And bring light into this world we reside in.
Jesus came and gave his life so we could find our way
thru this maze called life we have to navigate.

One time for my people that's on a mission! (Ohhh!)
Two times for all my people who ain't quitting. (Ohhh!)
Three times for everybody searching for truth! (Ohhh!)
Keep ya eyes to the sky and let it find you! (Yeahhh!)

All I know, Is that life gets hard but we gotta keep our head up.
All I know, Is sometimes we get lost but we gotta stay focused.
All I know is,
When times get hard in this life, we gotta keep our eyes on You.

Just got a phone call from my dog.(Sup fam)
He said life is really getting hard. (Aw man)
A few weeks ago he lost his father. (Dang)
All I could say was bro I'm really sorry. (I'm sorry)
Fast forward bout a week ago he sent a text.
Him and his wife are at each other necks.
Their good intentions were twisted like a contortionist.
The next thing that i'm hearing is that their divorcing Oh nooooooo.
You can't plan for those but it's reality.
How many others have sat down in that same seat?
Life throws sucker punches when we least expect it.
Make us wanna give up in utter defeat.
But God gives grace to the weak.
Jesus always interceeds for His peeps.
When we're in dire need He's the high priest
saying what we don't know how to say
during times when we can't find our way aw man.
Pressure busts pipes but it builds faith.
We gotta keep our head up in this thang.
The Lord said he'd never us or forsake.
But that we could follow Him and he would lead the way.
Past depression and set back avenue.
Past confusion and heart aches we go through.
Past addiction, affliction, lack of money,
lack of self worth, emptiness and lack of purpose.
Even when it don't look like it Gods working.
Even when it don't feel good Gods working.
Even when we have doubts God is still faithful.
His promises come around full circle.
Even when it don't look like it Gods working.
Even when it don't feel good Gods working.
Even when we have doubts God is still faithful.
His promises come around full circle.
