OFF MY CHEST
If I'm being honest
I feel awkward sharing news I'd share with you with someone else
I shake my head and backspace all my texts
And I can't think about the person I might end up with
When I know you'll be loving someone else
I guess
You were meant for me
But you weren't meant for who I'm meant to be
I see your face in everyone I meet
It's not fait to them
And really it's not even fair to me
I'm praying God will take this pain from me, cause
'Cause I been in my room in my head all week
Lying in my bed, I'm a mess, can't sleep
Thinkin' bout how things went with you and me
Thinkin' bout the times it was
Man I been in my room in my head all week
Lying in my bed, I'm a mess, can't sleep
Thinkin' bout how things went with you and me
Thinkin' bout the times it was
What the Father wants for me is better than what I want
What He got for free is better than what I bought
Sometimes you gotta leave the things that you wanna keep
Trade everything you want for everything that you need
What the Father wants for me is better than what I want
What He got for free is better than what I bought
Sometimes you gotta leave the people you wanna keep
Trade everything you want for everything that you need
Gotta get this off my chest
Tryna walk in line with everything the scripture says
Make you walk a mile with Him and only see His steps
Make you draw the line between His favour and some friends
In His time I'll get my rest
So I don't give up, I won't let 'em knock me off my step
They tried to bring me down so you could get yourself a cheque
They don't know I'm out here 'tryna see life after death
But I don't blame 'em
Peep, but I don't say nun
I know God is patient
Seek Him then you'll see
Everything they seek, He'll give to you for free
Then keep you on your knees to keep you out they leash
I got everything I need, and a lot more
I be with my family, and the good Lord
I just seen my momma smile and that mean a lot to me
We done seen some harder days face 'em as a family
I be ducking off on my own just to praise Him quietly
The world just started ending but all I can feel is peace
Man I can feel his peace, look
I hope you get the picture you are my brothers and sisters
The words that I have spoken are only 'cause I'm his chosen
And that ain't for my glory, give that to the Father only
Give back to the poor and needing
I'm not finna go back leading
A life in which I am leaving behind
The one who's breath I am breathing
So Ima say His name 'cause He called on me
And Ima give Him praise till my hands get weak
Till He delivers me what my eyes can't see
Said Ima say His name 'cause He called on me
And Ima give Him praise till my hands get weak
Till He delivers me what my
What the Father wants for me is better than what I want
What He got for free is better than what I bought
Sometimes you gotta leave the things that you wanna keep
Trade everything you want for everything that you need
What the Father wants for me is better than what I want
What He got for free is better than what I bought
Sometimes you gotta leave the people you wanna keep
Trade everything you want for everything that you need
