Introduction

I currently have a lot on my plate
But it's nothing compared to the people who were great
I wanna be like them, but their lives were never straight
In the meantime, all I can do is wait

For fate
It's one of my traits that I don't take the devils bait
God's presence in Heaven is all that I await
But alas, I'm still here on this planet full of hate

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I write this to the goners, the loners, the martyrs
In the midst of the pain, you don't wanna live longer
It ain't always gonna be easy so you gotta stay stronger

Not many people see the glass half-full
So they drink the rest, thinking that there's more
At some point you gotta give up control
And he'll open up a new door

I've been thinking bout my past and what I have done
Not much has happened, there's still more to come
On this Earth thats the loaf, I'm just a crumb
I'm just trying to figure out what I'll become

You'll never get through this life alone
Everything that you think you have, you don't own
It don't belong to you, but to the one on the throne
It's by his saving grace that you've ever grown

Ay, take a minute to relax
Take a minute pay your tax
Take a minute mend the cracks
Take a minute to the max
Take a minute play the sax
Take a minute spit the facts
Take a minute swing the axe
Take a minute climax
