Broken Record

Spent half of my life trying to make sure that it's worth it
Spent half of my life trying to make sure everything's perfect
When things didn't go my way I'd look to the sky like did I deserve it
I even forgot how to cry cause I would just smile when I was hurting
Never really had the chance to sit back and think of the pain
Ghanaian boy inna London I never got to see my grandma again
Feel like I'm stuck in a mental dungeon only the Lord can keep me sane
Our Father who art in heaven
I pray that you cover me through all the rain
If my nieces call out uncle Eug, then I've got to show face
I've got love for my nephew Kendrick
All he's got to do is point I'll chase
My family really mean more to me than money and riches
But I pray that the Lord gives more to me to satisfy all my ambitions
To satisfy all my goals, you've got to put your pride aside
Remember those days we were up in courts
Like this was a game of 5 aside
I only rely on Jesus Christ
Yeh that's my ride or die
He ain't ever let me down
And he always makes sure that I survive

Say a prayer everyday
Hope that I maintain
Praying that the Lord forgive me
For all my mistakes
On one hand feeling like its over
The other hand got hope
You gon' run yourself in circles
Thinking that this life's a joke
They be looking for a reason
To try and keep me down
They forget I roll with Jesus
I've got my freedom now
Plus I'm feeling tired of this cycle
I put loads of effort
And I'm getting tired of just sounding like a broken record

I can't be afraid of change
Got to embrace what the future holds
I shouldn't complain
Cause God gave me another chance to wake up
I've got to be grateful
You're crying out saying that you're hungry
While you're sitting right infront of a plate full
I've got to make sure that I kick these habits
I'm too stuck in my ways, stuck in a maze
Got to break this phase
Once in a while make time for yourself
Get far away from the noise
Learn how to be composed yeh
Diligent and poised
Yeh, I've really got to make this happen
Read the word on a daily basis
Yeh man I've really got to tap in
The world's bigger than you can imagine
Stop limiting how you see it all
You ain't got time to be taking in words from people
That wanna see you fall

Say a prayer everyday
Hope that I maintain
Praying that the Lord forgive me
For all my mistakes
On one hand feeling like its over
The other hand got hope
You gon' run yourself in circles
Thinking that this life's a joke
They be looking for a reason
To try and keep me down
They forget I roll with Jesus
I've got my freedom now
Plus I'm feeling tired of this cycle
I put loads of effort
And I'm getting tired of just sounding like a broken record
