[Intro: Myke Drey]
Yeah! You know, sometimes you ain't really gotta complain about life and sh**
You just gotta move on, stay strong
God is watching, uh, check it
[Verse 1: Myke Drey]
Now let me tell you what's really behind this smiling face
It's a brain that's surrounded by every bible phrase
Cause we all turn to God when things ain't going well
And still we wonder why he takes his time bringing change
But maybe that's because the love we show him's really fake
Or maybe he's just tired of all our silly games
But here I am, tears dropping on my knees praying
"Jesus, please help me get through this deep pain
I am breaking down, Lord help me now before it's too late"
Based on a true story, though I ain't 2 Chainz
I read the bible, but like virgins, I never get it
I wonder why it says I was made in Your own image
Cause I don't feel it
But I'm still blessed
And every now and then Lord, I just need a lesson
I'm having epiphanies, something like Michael Jackson
Though my only way outta this is through confession, ay!
[Chorus: Myke Drey]
Open up your ears
Listen up to this
Life is beautiful
No matter where you view it from
Life can show no grace
Life can show no mercy
But you just gotta stand up tall
Cos these are my loud confessions
[Verse 2: Myke Drey]
Ay, so a new day dawns, and hey, I'm smiling Must be a good mood or maybe I'm just trying
To move on and obliterate all the pain behind me
But how the hell do I look forward when the pain is behind me?
Tried to concentrate on my four letter word
It turned into another four letter word that rhymes with fate
And now I'm sitting here asking, who the f** is fate?
Cuz it's acting like a b**h, man f** this fate
I bet it landed my mother on that hospital bed
She told me not to worry, but I constantly shed tears
In front of my damn peers
And now I always fear
That she might not be here
Forever these ideas give me migraines
And not playin', though I'm Child's play
And at the end of the day I need a lesson
Not a fan of Usher, but these are my confessions, yeah!
[Chorus: Myke Drey]
Open up your ears
Listen up to this
Life is beautiful
No matter where you view it from
Life can show no grace
Life can show no mercy
But you just gotta stand up tall
Cos these are my loud confessions
[Verse 3: DanVer]
Yeah, Marz
Story of my pain
Busy tryna duck the flame
I've been busy tryna fight it, tryna scruitinize the main
Ambition, thoughts, I express 'em in lyrics
I've been s**ing n***as' balls just tryna escape the gimmicks
No hard feelings but my life is heavy
I remember when I couldn't enter that varsity door cause I couldn't afford it
Future? Couldn't have bought it
Felt like my whole life and my plans were distorted, uh
It came down to a point where I lost it like
I can't believe that I always thought my future's bright
But it's dim, it's all dark, it's not right
Man, this feeling's so wrong and not right
Had dreams to be all on the spotlight
But it came to be that I was on a fight
To do the right, I had to do the wrong
The message I write, all up in this song
[Chorus: Myke Drey]
Open up your ears
Listen up to this
Life is beautiful
No matter where you view it from
Life can show no grace
Life can show no mercy
But you just gotta stand up tall
Cos these are my loud confessions
