How Many Times
How many times are you gonna doubt yourself?
How many times are you gonna repeat the same mistakes?
Before you finally experienced enough pain
That you wanna make a change
How many times?
How many times you gonna tell yourself you've given up?
How many times you gonna write it down and rip it up?
How many times have you invested in luck?
You've find that penny's facin' heads down
Well, turn around and flip it up
Don't you believe in the fake, believe in your faith
Now watch how everythin' seems to fall into place
And you ain't even gotta try, it's like you're winnin' the race
'Cause every time you praise His name
You'll be receivin' His grace's, embrace
Now keep me from the wicked, protect me from the snares
And help me spread this message to anybody who cares
'Cause I done wrestle with them lions and tigers and bears
I'm wearin' the armour of God and truth is beware
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you how many times?
How many times? (Oh, oh)
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you how many times?
How many times?
How many times you gonna lie to yourself?
How many times you been denyin' yourself?
How many times? How many times?
How many times you looked inside of yourself?
And you're ashamed at what you see, but you don't ask for no help
You'd rather drown in misery and take that rum off the shelf
You'd pour another shot and blamed it on the hand that you were dealt
But you're forgettin' about the pain that all your family felt
While you were runnin' in them streets like a slave for a bag of dope
Your parent's worried that their baby might not make it home
They lie awake and they waitin', they cryin' by the phone
Prayin' that that they don't get the call that their baby is gone
I know it hurts, but every thin' that I am speakin' is true
I only say it 'cause I know it, I used to be you
But I had made it and I'm grateful of one of the few
Now I'm headin' back just to say that you can make it too
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you how many times?
How many times?
H-how many times? (Ooh)
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you how many times?
How many times?
H-how many times? (Ooh)
It doesn't matter how many times you've failed
It doesn't matter how many times you almost got it right
People aren't gonna keep track or care about your failures
Neither should you
It's more important that you learn from them
That you grow from them, and that you keep pushin' forward
'Cause at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many times you got it wrong
What truly matters is how many times you get it right
It doesn't matter how many times you've been beaten down
It doesn't matter how many people believe in you now
All that matter's you believe in yourself
'Cause there's a reason that you're breathin' and is keepin' you 'round
And everythin' that you've been goin' through is part of a plan
But I know it's hard to trust it, and you can't understand
Believe me, we crash and we burn, we live and we learn
If you can only see the blessings that we get in return
You'd be like
I'll shine through the storm and the struggles (struggles)
Hard times when I know I'm in trouble (trouble)
I'll rise, I'll rise
I'll rise through the ash and the rubble
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you how many times?
How many times? How many times? (Oh)
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love
That he shows to you how many times?
How many times? H-how many times?
Never give up on yourself
Stop doubtin' yourself
'Cause if you don't believe in yourself
Nobody else will either
As long as you have air in your lungs
You still have a chance to get it right
How many times are you gonna repeat the same mistakes?
Before you finally experienced enough pain
That you wanna make a change
How many times?
How many times you gonna tell yourself you've given up?
How many times you gonna write it down and rip it up?
How many times have you invested in luck?
You've find that penny's facin' heads down
