Drey - Loud Confessions (Feat. DanVer) [Intro: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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
