Interlude 4 - Live
I'll tell you every single
W-we all have gifts, you know, and uh, like special gifts
And there's this, this voice inside of us that says
"Don't do that," you know
"Why you gonna get up there with that guitar?
You're gonna like a, a hip hop folk singer?
What are you, you know, what are you?.
And I, I really went through, I mean, I'm serious
I can, I can, I mean I can laugh about it now
But it took a long time for me to understand that, you know
What I am is what I am, and I can't be afraid to
You know, to expose that to the public
You know, always gettin' in trouble trying to make it, you know
Tryin' to dress it up, you know what I'm sayin'? And, and
Just tired of that, you know
Just tired of that, tired of frontin', tired of that
And until I find a group of people
That are as passionate about it as I am
I'll just roll alone until such time, you know
It's all good, God is faithful
Y'all get, y'all still get to hear it, so, you know?
'Cause see that enemy, he would tell me, you know
"You don't have the 20 pieceband, you can't do nothin"
I said, "Yeah, sure, keep talkin"
'Cause somebody's gonna
They gonna see me and they gonna know
"Oh I, there's somethin' that God's been tellin me to do
I can do it, too"
I can do what I'm supposed to be doin'
I don't, I don't need an entourage, what do I need a crew for?"
That doesn't validate you
Okay, let's see
W-we all have gifts, you know, and uh, like special gifts
And there's this, this voice inside of us that says
"Don't do that," you know
"Why you gonna get up there with that guitar?
