Chosen

I cried onto the Lord with my voice
With my voice onto the Lord did I make my supplications
I poured out my complaints before him
I shewed before my troubles
When my soul was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path
In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare for me

The full has never been told yet
The truth has never been spoken of
It's like I've never been homе
Still I've never been homеless
Give thanks to Jah
I was never alone

What if I was hopeless?
Would they really ignore me?
What if I was broken or torment?
Would they really bring more stress?
What if I've never been so blessed?
What would I really become?
What would life really be like if I never had no friends?
Would I still be me or someone else?

Is it really just like a hero haffi die before everyone notice?
Have I really got chosen? Wo-oah
Am I really that potent?
Is it really my pride? Have my tears gone dry?
And me just can't show them no more?
Am I really that broken? Wo-oah

Have I really got chosen?
They don't really know, (they don't know)
They don't really, they don't really know
They don't really know (they don't know)
But who feels it, knows it
Torturing emotions approaching
Burning inside like coalskill
But one thing fi sure, I'll hold still

What if I had no strength?
Would they tell me I love you again?
What if I had nothing but myself?
Would it have been said in the first place?
Tell me how can you know who's real or fake when people pretend everyday?
Tell me who will be there for you in times when nobody can help?

They don't really know, (they don't know)
They don't really, they don't really know
They don't really know (they don't know)
But who feels it, knows it
Torturing emotions approaching
Burning inside like coalskill
But one thing fi sure, I'll hold still

All when dem mek di closest enemy don't win
Legendary portfolio, me teleporting
Tell mi weh dem deh before mi leggo di porcelain
Them lef' mi broken, a better dat did do mi nose bridge
All when a Covid, dem couldn't hold mi
Mi success a keep yuh posted, deh pon di road still
Mi a push a current weh current, JPS couldn't hold the voltage
And mi fortress nuh susceptible to forces, mi hold mi own still
