[Intro: Jimmy Swaggart]
A chapter containing one of the most momentous events in human history
And yet few people knew about it until it was ultimately written by
He journeys for three days and nights with that load on his shoulders
You say, "well did he understand?"
No, he didn't understand
Would you have understood?
[Verse 1]
Alteration grinds on me like Benjamin with Daisy
Motivation died on me like Eric Thomas hates me
Graduation's creeping on me, way my parents raise me
Medication, desperation, it makes me crazy
Dream, painted HD
Breathe, pain escape me
Soul is hopeless, holding focus
Hope just needs embracing
Voices in my ears and tears drop down my cheeks it's raining
Escape my house, and blow a cloud, then lay on it like elevation
Navigation through the sky, I'm high, ignore the speculation
Personally, pain-free
Permanently breaking
Hope, ambition, now I'm wishin', I could be the same me
That used to show respect and spoke with positivity
Feel like sh** just hit me and I hit all that their giving me
Why judge our ethnicity, we're in the same epitome
In the same vicinity our actions speak capriciously
Be You
[Interlude]
That's how important this is
That there is none like him in all the Earth
Who hates evil
Who eschews or hates evil
If you are what you say you --
[Verse 2]
This sh**'s all just growing pains
One day y'all will know my name
Openly holdin' focus; notably socially soulless
Don't show no pain, that'll target nondefense
Be is the key, try to live with common sense
Keep emotion low-key and wait to aim the target
People want the old me but I was at my darkest
Stages in my life are just emotions that I harvest
If you could see my phases you'd be one hell of an artist
Remember who you were, once way back in August
You were such a happy kid we loved, but now you lost it
Your momma wants the good grades, dad wants a guitarist
You just want your fame to raise, the pain to fade through all this
What I'm doing now makes me comfortable
People out there change but get recoverable
I just wanna save a life, some of them don't
I wanna do this ‘til I die, tough and with hope
[Hook]
[Outro]
If you are what you say you are
If you've got the power to do it
Yes, he had the power to do it
Listen to this
That there is none like him in all the Earth
Who hates evil
Who eschews or hates --
