[Intro]
(Yeah)

[Verse 1]
They think I'm stupid like, I don't see roadblocks or I don't got a choice, no
All I do is think it, write it down and let my voice go
Pulling on this rope, I lift the weights and kill the hope slow
Every decision made with precision, let the choice grow
My finest hour is right now, so I bite down
Chasing after my dreams as I fight on with the lights down
I ain't waiting for tomorrow, bitch I need it right now
Trying to tell my story but I never find the right sound
I'm praying daily, always asking God to guide me
But the devil's right beside me and my demons live inside me
The darkness is my dwelling where the light will never find me
But I don't ever stress it cause I'll never let it bind me
Pushing through the bullshit while most want to break
Dealing with the pain, life's a game of give and take
So I take what it gives, I'm in the midst of my wake
And I won't fuck it up cause I do it for my kids' sake

[Chorus]
I pray my Lord
Just hear my cries, my face been broke
No matter what I try, and if I don't
Before the day I die, don't let me fall, Lord, just help me fly
I pray my Lord
Just hear my cries, my face been broke
No matter what I try, and if I don't
Before the day I die, don't let me fall, Lord, just help me fly

[Verse 2]
I got my oldest looking at me with a bunch of fucking questions in her eyes like
Why I gotta struggle, probably struggle till I die
I don't understand the logic, I keep asking why this hand I was dealt
I either stand still or fly, I'm a man, I never cry
Never had the chance to sit down, held it in, saw the pot and took my chance to shit now
I don't play around cause this life is not a game
We are not created equal, you and I are not the same
If I am not insane then the meaning is fucked up
Cause the shadows on my soul trying to make me shut up
I don't plan to lock up, so I'm working hard every day
Looking for higher self, I quiet down and meditate
Brokenhearted, discarded, my dreams are all I got left
Playing in the mud but I keep my soul spotless
I got this, so keep your hands to yourself, can't block this I shit

[Chorus]
No man will do better, no
I pray my Lord
Just hear my cries, my face been broke
No matter what I try, and if I don't
Before the day I die, don't let me fall, Lord, just help me fly
I pray my Lord
Just hear my cries, my face been broke
No matter what I try, and if I don't
Before the day I die, don't let me fall, Lord, just help me fly
