Protect Me From Myself (feat. J Brunson)
I'm home late at night, minding my business
Had dinner, scraps on the plate, dirty dishes
Eating ice cream on the couch watching Netflix
Rocky Road, changing shows for the best picks
Winding down, getting bored, eyes to the floor
Strange noise outside, tired so I ignore
Cut the TV off, now headed for bed
Didn't check the locks, "I'll be alright," I said
Dreaming, hear footsteps, open my eyes, it's real
Masked up, intimidating, holding steel
Kisses my cheek with it, says, "Get on the ground!"
Greedily proceeds robbing me all around
Grabs jewels, credit cards, car keys, policies
How did he know? Who's he? Did he follow me?
The gun's drawn, as I internally ask
Before he blasts, shows himself - me under the mask!
Protect me from myself, O Lord!
I'm a hazard to myself, O Lord!
Won't you please, help me
Cuz I don't want to lose my soul!
Protect me from myself, O Lord!
I'm a hazard to myself, O Lord!
Won't you please, help me
Cuz I don't want to lose my soul!
Going through trauma, you never know what you will do
Don't judge people, if you don't know what they've been through
Lord help me please, another night on my knees
Praying for forgiveness and mercy
Another episode of self-addiction & affliction
Roaming like cellphones with bad reception in the midst of depression
Salutes and prostitutes, car door opening like a Grand Theft Auto scene
Drug dealers yelling "Yo!" in the midst of fiends
Yelling for me to stop, in Lil Wayne's world, The Block Is Hot
The irony, late nights cruising paranoid of bright lights
I should be my own light, but still watching for police lights
At my lowest point like Samson in the midst of needing might
Taking my time to shine bright
I'm seeking it to become much a better man
But it's hard to become a better man
When people you talk to seem to not understand
Undeserving of His grace, humbled to live among God's plan
Protect me from myself, O Lord!
I'm a hazard to myself, O Lord!
Won't you please, help me
Cuz I don't want to lose my soul!
Protect me from myself, O Lord!
I'm a hazard to myself, O Lord!
Won't you please, help me
Cuz I don't want to lose my soul!
Lord, it's me again, I keep missing our meeting
Of course, I'm cheating, then shocked I'm defeated
Can I be transparent? I know you see it
It's apparent sometimes you're heated
I have destructive habits & perversions
I brush off your urges from my urgings
I had a vision of a spirit in black
By my bed, frozen, scared, said he had my back
I pushed the Bible away to please flesh
Distort the Word my way, code David Koresh
Arrogant, your law think I'm above it
Standoff till I fall to your government
Now baptized in fire, branches cut off the tree
Bad choices led me outside your armory
The demon vanished, now I see clearer
Lord, protect me from the man in the mirror!
Won't you please, help me
Cuz I
Won't you please, help me
Cuz I
Won't you please, help me
Cuz I
Don't want to lose
Lose my soul!
