[Verse 1:]
Just when I can't take no more
Staring in the face of when it rains it pours
The snake scraping straight through the stains to sores
Like fate ain't wait, but trying to break my door
It's like the more I shake, the more I hate this floor
I hate this life with ice my main supports
Ignore inner advice to slice my veins for sport
Denying my pride just like I ain't the sort
When that's a lie I'm as weak as the pay reports
Thirty days on the road, ain't made a buck, and trying to save my voice
Hoist away at my ego, me my favorite choice
Just like we made our graves, but probably blame our boys
As I turn this graying page, gaining fame to avoid
Today the same day again just like I anchored this void
But can't measure all the treasures that this pain done destroyed
I painted it, avoided naming it for blame it'd employed
It came and hit me like a gypsy, tipsy, claiming it's coin
Did me like windy city misery with grace of the ancients
Praying for Nathan but the will to see the will for the faithless
Gave it to me as a gift to do the will for the faithless
It gave it to me as its gift and if you wanted to take it
I couldn't leave it, how those motherf**in' cherubim sang it
And banging in my soul, taking it's control, total freedom
A man within his home, not shown alone, but shown the kingdom
And Jesus sacred throne over cherubim singing
And here I am, a man, just to stand and receive him
And all I am is a man in the flash in this pan
All I am is a man
[Refrain:]
We wallow in depression, stressed to face the odds
That's 'cause while we in this flesh, we away from God
Heads will hollow out your blessings, lessons they been taught
Came from guessing as professions that them laymen bought
It's outta reason how them demons try to stray you off
Ain't got a thing that they believe in, save the way that they walk
It's bullsh** like any men claiming that they ain't wrong
Like it's all the same, it ain't, when we done sang new songs
[Verse 2:]
I hold it closer than my name and my life
Than I cling to my wife and know it's higher
Than the rain at it's heights
Messiah's throne, who shone it brighter than a ray of froze light
It kept me going on the longest of roads
And on the coldest of nights
And then it showed me this mic
Just like it told me to write
And dog, you owe it your life like you control it
Just notice if it wasn't for his light, no one would notice
The light that you opposing is the life that you holding
Playing with his might in handing frostbite to the frozen
See in his works within the earth or universe if you chose it
Teachers learning, freezer burner lurking fumes to the focus
Seen it first or see the smoke, just remember who spoke it
We wallow in depression, stressed to face the odds
That's 'cause while we in this flesh, we away from God
Heads will hollow out your blessings, lessons they been taught
Came from guessing as professions that them laymen bought
It's out of reason how them demons try to stray you off
Ain't got a thing that they believe in, save the way that they walk
It's bullsh** like any men claiming that they ain't wrong
Like it's all the same, it ain't, when we done sang new songs
