A New Fight

Why do I feel this way?
Why is my life like this?
I was supposed to be
In His likeness
But instead
I turned away
Am I supposed to be fightin' this?
Writin' this?
Feelin' cold
Cus my soul ain't even tryin' this
I made a promise to myself
That the next time I vent
Was gonna be more help
And quit bein' on the fence
I'm either in or out
I can't be both man
I'll say it out loud
I'm a God kid
And I'm proud
I can't believe I forgot
The last time I vented I cussed
I was really mad
And ready to bust
I ain't gonna lie
I pretended I was tough
You do crazy things
When you're pretty upset
Like push your family out
And form into the crowd
How am I an outcast
When I almost gave up?
When I checked last
Gotta be slow to erupt
Man, I try to be nice
But sometimes
It makes other people ice
But let's try this again
When you're
Cold like ice
Get that fire to
Burn within
I missed it when
Things got really intense
I tried to control myself
When I know I need some help
Know I need it
This is my cry
Now receive it
Cus I'm too plugged in
For the way that they see
All these other men
That can't be me
I can't be beat
The world held me
In these chains
Like a prison
In my own brain
Locked in a cage
Like a psycho
I needed fixed
Like a typo
Unplug me
When the world was bright
I gotta make it right
With a new fight
A new fight
I was told years ago
That I was gonna change the world
But how can I when
My life is turmoil?
I became
Destructive in my life
When I took that plunge
Expecting flight
I fell
On something
That I thought was bright
I was too wrong to comprehend
I got too plugged in
To the way the world
Wanted me to deal
And just made me feel
A lot worst
Then what I was
This ain't nothin'
Just a temporary buzz
That knocked me to humble
But yet caused me to stumble
I didn't know where to go from there
Like a roll of thunder
He unlocked me
And stopped me
From doing things
I know I'd regret
I got more then a spec
In my eye
More then a log
I'm not gonna lie
I had to learn how to try
I wasn't the only one
In this failed marriage
I had to look to the Son
To get me outta the damage
Know I need it
This is my cry
Now receive it
Cus I'm too plugged in
For the way that they see
All these other men
That can't be me
I can't be beat
The world held me
In these chains
Like a prison
In my own brain
Locked in a cage
Like a psycho
I needed fixed
Like a typo
Unplug me
When the world was bright
I gotta make it right
With a new fight
A new fight
Sure I got laughed at
And taken advantage
By my own wife
That caused marital damage
But I can't push all the blame
Cus it takes two to tango
Yeah she cheated
But in my own way
Maybe I pushed
But yet
In a marriage
You gotta push through the tough
Not run
Like she did with him
It get's hard to forgive
But that's okay
I guess I'll work through the pain
I can't do it on my own
I'll go insane
You see I
Know that I'm not alone
No matter what
He'll never leave me alone
Like I'm on my own throne
So no matter what you go through
Let Him be your rock
Make you a seed
And give you new crops
He'll shake
Your foundation
Break them chains off
You're no longer a slave
Not to fear
And not to the mirror
Not to the pain
Not to the blood stains
Not to the crown
And not to being bound
Cus we're free
In Jesus name
I can say it to the ground
And to the rooftops
And non-stop
I'll speak it to the rocks
Got a new light
I can't get enough
Of this new fight
I went to divorce papers
To from court dates
Gotta focus on getting my son out of the hate
With the drug use and the drunk few
He deserves better
I won't stand to see you tether
On both sides of the fence
To get him right in the middle
Know I need it
This is my cry
Now receive it
Cus I'm too plugged in
For the way that they see
All these other men
That can't be me
I can't be beat
The world held me
In these chains
Like a prison
In my own brain
Locked in a cage
Like a psycho
I needed fixed
Like a typo
Unplug me
When the world was bright
I gotta make it right
With a new fight
A new fight
Know I need it
This is my cry
Now receive it
Cus I'm too plugged in
For the way that they see
All these other men
That can't be me
I can't be beat
The world held me
In these chains
Like a prison
In my own brain
Locked in a cage
Like a psycho
I needed fixed
Like a typo
Unplug me
When the world was bright
I gotta make it right
With a new fight
A new fight
With a new fight
A new fight
With a new fight
A new fight
With a new fight
A new fight
