Brave Face
Time and time
And time and time again
I've wasted time and money
And abandoned several friends
Ignored advice
Lacking in some common sense
Let me put you up on game
Don't have the cents for the trends
Cried out to God in my misery
Dear God help me in my time of need
Oh God please show me mercy
Just knowing imma do the same thing next week
Forgiveness is a virtue that we all should have
Stuck a knife in several backs
Praying I could take it back
Loud when I should be quiet
Quiet when I should be loud
Times when I don't make a peep
Busy bee
No time for the sleep
Rather run around the streets wit my head up
Don't be giving heads up
Wit my actions I am fed up
Where can I go
To who can i turn
Ignorant black myself true lessons that I've never learned
Yearn for the finer things in life
Pray if I make thru the night
Wake up to morning light
That Jah will save me from my plight
Tryna break free
Can't be spinning in cycles
What sense in reading the Bible
If I do not apply it
I'm in the fight for my life
Just fighting my desires
Desiring the truth
But in cahoots wit the liars
Tryna break free
Can't be spinning in cycles
Desiring the truth
But in cahoots wit the liars
I'm just a man who is stuck in his ways
Just tryna get ready
Cuz we all face the grave
This is my Brave face
This is me just tryna save face
I am black and beautiful
Through the help of the Lord
Education
And those who loved me
I freed myself from the sentence of worthless
I became a minister
A doctor
A lawyer
And teacher
I became a better person than what was expected of me
I have the title of mister
Truly I am black and beautiful
I'm just a man who is stuck in his ways
Just tryna get ready
Cuz we all face the grave
This is my Brave face
This is me just tryna save face
And time and time again
I've wasted time and money
And abandoned several friends
Ignored advice
Lacking in some common sense
Let me put you up on game
Don't have the cents for the trends
Cried out to God in my misery
Dear God help me in my time of need
Oh God please show me mercy
Just knowing imma do the same thing next week
Forgiveness is a virtue that we all should have
Stuck a knife in several backs
Praying I could take it back
Loud when I should be quiet
Quiet when I should be loud
Times when I don't make a peep

No time for the sleep
Rather run around the streets wit my head up
Don't be giving heads up
Wit my actions I am fed up
Where can I go

Ignorant black myself true lessons that I've never learned
Yearn for the finer things in life
Pray if I make thru the night
Wake up to morning light
That Jah will save me from my plight
Tryna break free
Can't be spinning in cycles

Tryna break free
Can't be spinning in cycles

Cuz we all face the grave
This is my Brave face
This is me just tryna save face
